February 13, 2019

You can imagine the disciples’ confusion – their glances around the room and the unspoken questions in their eyes.

“What is He doing?”

Yeshua (Jesus) had taken off His outer garment and wrapped a towel around His waist. He filled a basin with water, knelt before His disciples – and began washing their feet.

After He finished, He explained many things, as recorded in John 13‒14:
