The customs of jews is to cleanse

body and blood.... as if my understanding is correct lord JESUS say that my
turn yet to come so he is talking about his last supper and his suffering in
cross.... before he perform his first miracle water into grape juice?
Answer:
1)
By saying “My hour has not come,” Jesus is referring to the
hour of his death. (John 7:6,8,30; 8:20, 12:23, 13:1) He is saying He is able
to help since it is not yet time for Him to leave this earth.
Mary understood that Jesus had agreed to help
because she directs the servants to do whatever Jesus said.
i) Too many assume Mary had asked Jesus to perform a
miracle, but such is not in this verse. She only asked Jesus to solve a
problem.
ii) That Jesus chose to solve the problem with a miracle was
his choice.
iii) Since verse 11 indicates this is the first miracle of
Jesus, there is no reason to assume that Mary knew what Jesus would do in
response to her request. For all we know, she might have thought that Jesus
would go to the local merchant and he would need servants to help carry the wine
back.
2)
Feet washing was to show the disciples (Apostles) how they
should humble themselves.
To demonstrate his true humility, Jesus washed their feet.
There was competition among his disciples. Which of them would occupy the most
prominent place in the coming kingdom? The mother of James and John, made a direct
appeal to Jesus for an exalted position for her sons (Mt 20:20-21).
Notice how the Lord responded (verse 24-27)
After it was all over, Jesus said, "I have given you an
example, that ye also should do as I have done to you.
Hope I had clarified your question, if I understood rightly.
Thanks for this question brother
