Jesus Washed Judas' Feet, Too

Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you."

John 13:10 (NIV)

I've always been touched by the story of Jesus washing the disciples' feet giving them an example of humble servanthood. This act of servanthood to the men who have stuck with him throughout His ministry even though Jesus knows His death on the cross is imminent is simply beautiful... even if I don't fully understand everything about it. Reading some commentaries have helped. I hadn't fully appreciated the two Greek verbs at use here. One meaning take a bath. One for washing hands and feet. Taking a bath signifying salvation. Through the disciples' faith in Christ, they have been made clean. Except for Judas. Nowhere does it say that Jesus didn't wash Judas' feet. He knew Judas would betray Him. He knew Judas did not have faith in Him. Yet, He still washed Judas' feet. It's one thing to love and serve those who love you. It's amazing to me to contemplate that Jesus extended the same service and love to the one who would betray Him. The text does not mention Judas' reaction. It also doesn't say whether the disciples knew who Jesus was talking about here (at least at that time). The text in no way implies that Jesus didn't was Judas' feet, so we must believe that He did so. Then He told His disciples to do likewise (v 14) and they would be blessed by it (v 17). If you knew that someone was going to betray you, would you still be a servant to them? I think that I just might struggle with that. May my heart be changed by Jesus' example and may I be willing to do as He did.
