<p>13:4 <i>Rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel</i>- He dressed Himself as He would for the crucifixion, naked but for a loincloth, with His outer clothing taken away, as Johns crucifixion account emphasizes. Phil. 2 seems to allude to the descriptions here of the Lord progressively setting aside all human trappings in order to humble Himself to serve and thence to actually die the death of the cross for us. &quot;Laid aside&quot; is the same term used for the Lord's giving over of His life (10:11,15,17,18; 15:13; 1 Jn. 3:16).</p>
