John 13:6-8

New Testament for Everyone

⁶ He came to Simon Peter.

“Master,” said Peter, “what’s this? You, washing my feet?”

⁷ “You don’t understand yet what I’m doing,” replied Jesus, “but you’ll know afterwards.”

⁸ “I’m not going to have you washing my feet!” said Peter. “Never!”

“If I don’t wash you,” replied Jesus, “you don’t belong to me.”
