God gave Jesus a job to to when He came from His Father in heaven, down to earth. Then Jesus completed that task, (was crucified for our sins) went back to His father in heaven. Praise the Lord!!

The same verse according to the CEV:
"Jesus knew that he had come from God and would go back to God. He also knew that the Father had given him complete power."
To me this means that moment was a turning point.
A crescendo.
Finally, the big moment has come!
Jesus was reminding himself of certain basics in order to get a mind-set on the events about to unfold.

(1). v3. "Jesus Knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands..." John 17, The Prayer to the Father shows what The Father gave unto the Son. Also in Mathew 28:18 says "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."
(2). v3. "...That He was come from God..." John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify Thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." This speaks of the unity in the community of the trinity.
(3). v3. "...And went to God." John 16, the whole chapter shows us just what is meant when Jesus said "...And went to God."

13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
He was the son of god, he came from heaven and he would return to heaven.

I think it means that Jesus realized that he was fulfilling his purpose here. Jehovah God was going to put the reins of rule in his hands. He had had a heavenly life with God before his time here on earth, and he knew he would be going back to a heavenly life as King of Jehovah's heavenly organization!

It means just what it said. Jesus has authority over all things because his Father gave him that authority. Before it was given to him, he did not have it. That shows he was not God. This harmonizes with Matt. 28:18 where Jesus said: "All authority has been given me in heaven and on earth." God did not give himself authority because he already had it. Instead he gave it to his son, Jesus.

What it means to me is that jesus had risen, died for my sins and yours.......I think that in order to understand anything of the Bible you need to take in more than one verse?
But what the one verse is saying is that all of us come from the father, that is where we will go when we die, Jesus too went home to our Lord and savior!
13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4 rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8 Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, [1] but is completely clean. And you [2] are clean, but not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

Just what it says. Jesus "was" both Lord and teacher to "those" who chose to follow Him.
Today He is still Lord, but not teacher, in a literal sense. We can learn from His teachings, but he is not here with us today. We now have the Holy Spirit and Scripture.

It gives further evidence that Jesus came from God and went to God, therefore Jesus cannot be God.
