Affected Teaching
The word in the Greek behind “during supper” in the modern versions is a present tense verb. In the King James it is an aorist verb denoting a past action. It was right after supper when the Lord Jesus Christ got up from the table and began to wash the feet of His disciples. He would not have done this in the middle of the meal but when it was ended.
