From the first 4 verses, we know that this passage happens when Jesus knows that He is leaving and Judah will be the betrayer. This information is important to understand the meaning of washing feet.
When Peter knows that those who are not washed has no part in Jesus he is very nervous and want to washing the whole body v.8-9. He wants to have a part in Jesus! He anxious about his own relationship with Jesus. This is a big contrast to Judah, who wants to betray Jesus for $30.
Jesus reminds Judah again when he says, "And you are clean, though not every one of you v. 10." Judah should have known that Jesus knows what he is doing. He is not clean! Jesus surely does not want to be betrayed. However, He loves Judah and gives him the chance to repent. He is also gracious to us, too. We were given chance to hear the gospel over and over again before we were saved.
Obviously, Jesus, being their leader should not have washed their feet, which is the job of the servant v.13-14. He set an example for us to follow v.15-16. If someone has wrong against us, remember Jesus' example. He wash the feet of Judah! Can we forgive others and give them a second chance?
