A number of students writing on John 13 have noticed the oddity that Jesus washes the disciples feet – an act of hospitality in preparation for a meal – but then they never eat. It’s a feast interrupted.
I suspect that has something to do with the interaction between John and Revelation. For John, the wedding feast doesn’t start until the harlot is overthrown. Jesus washes His disciples in preparation for that feast yet to come.
