Summary
Anni Hentschel offers a thorough analysis of ancient texts on foot washing and shows that this act can be variously interpreted. By washing the feet of his disciples as a teacher, Jesus constitutes the community of disciples as a community of love. With the mission of mutual love, Jesus sends them into the world as his messengers, just as he was sent by the Father. The Johannine washing of feet is above all ecclesiologically relevant.
