Since Jesus said in 13:7 that the disciples would not fully understand what was happening, translations should keep the "washing" imagery and not try to explain it in the text. - # He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but he is completely clean -The word "but" shows the contrast between a person needing to be cleaned and a person already being being clean. In some languages "but" would not be used. Alternate translation: "He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, because he is completely clean" or "He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet; he is completely clean" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-connectingwords]]) +"He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, because he is completely clean" or "He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet; he is completely clean" # He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet -This double negative emphasizes that to wash the feet is the only thing that he who is bathed needs.
