Peter:
R.E.Brown [ . The Gospel According to John. 2 vols. London: Geoffrey
Chrapman, 1966.]
  says that your conjecture is "not to be ruled out" --- because he had
spotted ( had you? <g>) that " the corresponding action of _taking up_ (
both the robe and life) is expressed by one verb LAMBANEIN in 13:12 and
10:17, 18. All this serves to relate the footwashing to the death of the Lord"

Well spotted ! -- you are following in distinguished footsteps.
