The Hidden Story Behind Jesus' Washing the Disciples' Feet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 мар 2024
- I'm continuing my series on undesigned coincidences. Here, I explore a coincidence that involves both Luke and John. Why does Jesus specifically say "I am among you as him who serves?" in Luke's Gospel? And why does Jesus go to the extent of washing his disciples' feet in John's Gospel? Reading the accounts individually doesn't reveal the complete picture, but when we bring the two together, they mutually illuminate each other in an undesigned manner. These passages bear the mark of eyewitness testimony rather than literary invention.

Do you have any videos addressing the so-called "Synoptic problem"? The one where scholars accuse the gospels of copying large sections of text from each other?
Yes sir, I made a video that is part of this ongoing series. The synoptic problem isn't at all a problem for undesigned coincidences. Hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/AOEVjPjbD5U/видео.html
@@TestifyApologetics thank you!
@@TestifyApologeticsQuite frankly, the synoptic problem isn't even relevant when discussing undesigned coincidences .
@@TestifyApologeticsdo you have series regarding gospels being written early?
@@darkwolf7740have you been watching the videos? synoptic problem is about copying. I designed coincidences is evidence pointing toward gospels not being copied as the synoptic problem proposes
This is why Jesus is different from all other religious figures
Great stuff
Agreed, Jesus is unique. Many religions are performance based, but Christianity is love based. Take Hinduism for example, you must gain good karma to not incarnate as something lower. In Sikhism, you must live an extremely legalistic life, even stricter than Christianity. In Islam, they believe your good works must outweigh your bad works to get to heaven. In Buddhism, they believe you must have a complete cessation of Attraction or desire, to achieve Nirvana. In the pagan religions of the ancient middle east, such as Sumeria, they believed their gods had to be fed their sacrifices in order for the gods to give them favors in return. However, in Christianity, Yahweh God pursues us. He doesn't need anything from us, but he wants us. That's why he made salvation available to us as a free gift.
"Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." - Philippians 2:4-11 ESV
@@matthewschardtii1338 I meant Jesus is different from other Gods and founders of Religion
Can you even compare him to Muhammad or Buddha?
@@TheUniversalPrincess I believe you may be interested in the book "Jesus Amoung Other gods" by Michael F. Bird. It's about why Jesus is unique
@@matthewschardtii1338 You mean "Jesus Among The Gods". "Jesus Among Other Gods" is by Ravi Zacharias whose work I don't think we should promote.
Aye man preciate you doing this, helped increase my faith and knowing that our faith isn’t blind, but backed up with historical evidence
If you've been reading/hearing, thinking and praying, looking at evidence it's not really "blind faith."
Our faith isn’t blind. There’s an overwhelming amount of evidence for our God.

John 17:9 " I pray for them : I pray NOT for the world, but for them which thou hast given me: for they are thine."
As you said in Luke Jesus pointed out the difference between the world from his disciples. The disciples were not to be governed as the world governs.
Jesus didn't go around washing everyone feet but his disciples who he made clear whom is not of this world. The disciples were acting "worldly" fighting among each other .... the world influence us so we need to depend on Jesus to wash our feet in order to have fellowship with him. Jesus our High Priest serves us so we can serves others and preach the gospel.
In Acts we saw the apostles appoint deacons to serve the people in the church so they could continue spreading the gospel.
I mean intuitively I knew the connection between the two, but once you explicitly stated it it really clicked, in the perspective of casual connection
Amazing. This is what he’s talking about, sharing and benefitting each other, symbiosis. He was teaching us to be symbiotic or align and run parallel with our current so we and it can expand. So amazing.
Wonderful analysis, I praise God for your ability to not only see the truth of the Word of God, but to spread it like this. I don't know why this video is unlisted, since everyone needs to see this. But you do you, you probably have a valid resson for that. Still, I'll be sharing this with friends and family. Thanks for the video, and keep it up!
I thoroughly appreciated this video. I have found it useful to contemplate the concept "humility" when reading these verses. Service involves action. Humility is an attitude or state of mind. The humility Jesus demonstrated through the act of washing his disciple's feet boggled their minds.
This channel is new to me. I stumbled upon in in a search for verses mentioning "beautiful feet" "cloven" feet or hooves. I'm not recalling book and chapter, atm.
0:08 Jesus didn't die for unrepentant sinners to stay unrepentant, only the repentant sinner gets saved
Jesus still died for those who would not repent is the statement though. You changed the initial statement in you last independent clause.
@@kennysfdg471 you are correct, I've was originally going to end it at the first instant of sinner but then noticed it didn't feel right
@@kennysfdg471 Yeah feel free to stop coping with grammatical legalism.
Jesus died because we are sinners, so that sinners COULD be saved. To mock him, to spit in his eye and to reject him means that you must instead be "laid before him for slaughter" (luke 19)
Who cares if OP said so clumsily, his point is relevant to the image referenced and 100% correct.
@@daniel8181 Chill. I was just trying to make sure I understood his OG post and that he did. The fact of the matter is that Jesus Christ died for everyone. It is up to the individual as to how they respond. Just because someone does not repent does not mean Jesus did not die for them. He died for them, but because of their lack of repentance, they still will face Hell.
@@kennysfdg471 Why keep dancing around it?
amen praise Jesus Christ
This is also a model of the new covenant in the establishment of the priesthood. Just as moses washed aaron and his sons to establish the priesthood of the old covenant, so too does jesus establish the first priesthood by washing his apostles
It is expounded very succinctly in Ephesians:
[Ephesians 5:25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
[26] *That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word* ,
[27] *That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish*
We wash the funk of the world off the brethren's feet every time we *have not shunned to declare unto you the whole counsel of God*
Also check I Timothy 5:10. Widowed women are asked to do the same to the saints, to demonstrate their humility, if they want the support of the congregation.
Wonderful. Thank you for the videos. May God bless you
It goes to show there is more than one way to tell a story,
You can skip the story and get to the juicy meaning or you can leave out the meaning to give an element of depth and mystery.
Modern people are addicted to flattery. Jesus washing feet is misconstrued by modern people as flattery, when in fact it requires humility to even understand the meaning of how God serves us. It's amazing to me how foolishness can reverse a lesson.
Did you mean to use the word flattery?!
I just looked up the definition in three different dictionarys and a encyclopedia and it doesn't make sense!
Through giving our attention and sharing with each other we hold each other up and integrate our differences. Not so we may come back but so we can make more differences and expand beyond imagination.
i like your Bible coincidences
Great job sir.
Thank you for your clear explanations
God Bless you this is beautifull
Hey great video man, just want to say that some reasons why other gospels leave out certain things is also to show different aspects of Jesus. Each gospel has a perceptive of Jesus. Mathew being Jesus as Messiah. Mark as the Son of God. Luke as The Savior and John as the Lamb of God. Great work man!
Slick presentation Erik - easy to follow too.
Would you be able to put the "interlocking" passages on the same slide?
I feel it would help illustrate the point more effectively.
5:05It’s because we are all ourselves and not one thing so we can and are allowed to be different. It’s just that we must understand so we don’t destroy each other and our integrated differences we call reality.
Testify, do you think I'm being too cynical when my first thought about this sort of stuff is that explaining these sorts of undesigned coincidences won't lead anyone to faith and repentance? What I mean is, the skeptics seem to always be playing a game of hot potato with their criticisms. They load up on so many objections, that to provide an in depth explanation of why a particular objection doesn't work, they often just jump to a different objection in my experience. It's hard to me to see how to explain to skeptics sometimes that they're often guilty of the leaky buckets fallacy.
On the flip side, as a Christian, I've found your content to be quite edifying. So, thanks for that. Also, to be a little more hopeful, perhaps this sort of stuff makes a bigger difference than I imagine since I came to Christ primarily through philosophy and apologetics. Anyway God bless you and keep you. Thanks for the video. :)
I have been parts of conversations where someone converted based on this argument. Qnd I have friends who have helped convert people based on the argument too.
@@TestifyApologetics Thanks for the response. I mean, I could see how perhaps I was being too cynical. I'll try to be more optimistic in the future. God bless you and keep you. :)
Op is a skeptic. But he seems sincere, I pray that @gadowscar comes home and goes straight to his nearest REAL CHURCH to sign up for RCIA classes

Koodos on finding a way to piggyback on the controversy without getting all blech! You are my new favorite RUclipsr. (Don't worry, it doesn't come with any special requirements and even if it did I change favorite RUclipsrs a lot.)
He lost his spot, didn't he?
My pastor just did a sermon today which involved the foot washing in John. I think he might like to know about this parallel.
But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that the princes which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise dominion over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be your servant: the servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Integrate the differences and expand with each other. We are not alone.
When the Bible mentions foot washing we should always remember two things. One is that in those days everyone wore sandals. The other is that the streets back then had a lot more livestock wandering through them than what we would be accustomed to. Imagine walking through a barnyard or a feedlot in your flip flops. Washing someone's feet when they came to the house would be very necessary but also pretty gross and disgusting. It would be something you would have a servant do. This shows just how Jesus humbled himself to his apostles.
Good video!
Brother i have a question, i firmly believe in undesigned coincidences, my question, for example how does for example Luke adds details that they where in a town Bethsaida doing miracles, or that Jesus was sending amongst two by two if Luke never was among those events because he wasn't one of his Chosen Apostles. How does he knows this, from who is he getting that info? And is his eyewitness account than strong? Im just thinking brother if you could help me I would really appreciate that
You won’t get Jesus period if you don’t read the Old Testament and understand the Father.
Hi, sorry to ask here but I don't know of anywhere else to ask. I am looking for an interview (I think) you did with an author, concerning the church and the witch trials and how the history was greatly exaggerated. Hope you can help, blessings.
Sorry, wasn't me.
@@TestifyApologeticsOK, wasn't sure, but thanks for replying.
Shalom testify, hope your well. Can you do a video on the scripture of flat or round earth?
Hey thanks but that is not really my area. i think Mike Winger and Inspiring Philosophy have already done a good job responding to that nonsense.
@@TestifyApologetics that’s ok my brother in Christ. But please at least even if you don’t make a video, I hope you personally think about it yourself. I see you as a very strong man of faith and of scripture, and that you take scripture the way it is no matter what. Ephesians 6:12 tells us this world is ran by fallen angels and spiritual wickedness, the truth is hidden from us. Some might not think it’s important but the truth is important to God and should be to man. I’m not giving my stance but just hoping you think about some verses. Such as Genesis 1 speaking of a firmament (dome) over Earth along with a sun and moon inside it with waters above and below, and that the earth is resting upon firm foundations. This is not the only place in the Bible that describes the earth in this way, but I find it very strange people ignore it. Just was hoping you’d think about it, shalom to you my brother.
@@WarriorOfTheNarrowPath watching a sunset instantly disproves flat earth.
On a flat earth, the sun would have to be much closer and would hover above the surface. There are three things that you would see as the sun approaches the horizon.
1: the sun would slow down as it approaches the horizon, because on a flat earth the sun would simply be moving further away.
2: the sun would get smaller and smaller as it approaches the horizon until it is so small that it is unable to be seen.
3: the sun would never actually cross the horizon. No part of it would ever dip below the horizon and become not visible.
The exact opposite of these things are what we actually see in real life, which is proof that the sun is not local and that the earth is not a flat plane.
@@phylocybe_ thank you for your view based on science. I want to speak of the Bible though.
@@WarriorOfTheNarrowPath science? Are you joking right now? It has nothing to do with science, it is literally what you see with your eyes every day. Go outside today and watch the sun set, you’ll be shocked to see that it looks nothing like it would on a flat earth. Think critically for once.
Didn't he wash judas feet?
Can you tell me if 1 Colossions is referencing the book of John, since John is the only gospel that references jesus's role in creation? Wouldnt thay make John written before 60 A.D.?
I don't think Colossians is referring to John.
@TestifyApologetics Which gospel do you think he is referencing, and why didn't the other gospels say anything about Jesus's role in creation?
@TestifyApologetics He mentions Jesus being involved in creation, which I don't believe is mentioned anywhere else but John, and he talks about being a servant to a gospel that the colossians have been given.
Colossians teaches Jesus role in creation because that's what the disciples actually taught and believed. John was likely written after Paul was executed.
@phun1901 If it's what they taught and believed, why isn't mentioned in any of the other gospels? I find it more likely that it was revealed to John, John wrote his Gospel first, and the other gospels came later. Why would a disciple of Luke write a gospel and not Paul himself? Paul was obviously a competent writer. That would explain why John's gospel is so much more detailed than the others.
