Exegesis
The verse employs the historical present egeiretai {ἐγείρεται | e-geí-re-tai} “He rises” to draw the reader into the scene with vivid immediacy, followed by the present tithesin {τίθησιν | tí-thē-sin} “He sets” for a second vivid action. These two presents frame the transition from reclining at the meal to active preparation.
In context — John 13:4
He rose from the supper and set aside His garments , and after taking a towel, He girded Himself.
