Verse 3 continues to tell us background information about what Jesus knew. The action in the story begins in verse 4. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background]])
# Father
This is an important title for God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples]])
# had given everything over into his hands
Here "his hands" is a metonym for power and authority. AT: "had given him complete power and authority over everything" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# he had come from God and was going back to God
Jesus had always been with the Father, and would return there after his work on earth was finished.
# He got up from dinner and took off his outer clothing ... began to wash the feet of the disciples
