You said "The Master Teacher made a deep impression on the minds and hearts of the disciples, especially Peter who later wrote about the importance of “girding up” the loins of one’s mind and “girding yourself” with humility (1 Pet. 1:13-17; 5:5).
This is an interesting reference that Peter makes, perhaps, as you imply, referring to the foot washing at the last supper, where Jesus "rose up from supper and laid aside His garments. And He took a towel and girded Himself. After that He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded." (John 13:4-5)
This act of humility in taking his outer garment off and putting on a towel, which he then wiped his disciples' feet with, seems analogous to Jesus divesting himself of his Godly position and taking on the form of a man- and then the towel that he is girded with gets dirty by wiping the very dirty feet of his friends, is analogous to him learning obedience by the things he suffered.
Such a moving and important act- strange that only John's gospel mentions it, and that it is not mentioned in any other writings of the Apostles either?
