That is, his gown, or upper coat, [himatia] with the girdle by which it was girdled close to his tunic, or inner coat; and instead of his girdle, he tied a towel about him, that he might have it in readiness to dry their feet,and that he might appear as a servant. Indeed the whole action was a servile one; and never performed by a superior to an inferior. Luk 12:37; Luk 17:7; Luk 22:27; 2Cr 8:9; Phl 2:6-8 |
