Why wonder that he doffed his garments willingly,
Who had unclothed himself of heavenly majesty?
Why wonder that he tied a towel round his waist,
Who, for our sakes, as Master, assumed a servant’s place?
Why wonder that he washed the feet of humble men,
Who later with his blood would wash away their sin?
Jacobus Revius (1586-1658)
