John 13:6–10

13:6–10 Peter, with his usual impulsiveness (Luke 5:8; Matt. 16:22; Acts 10:14), objected to Jesus’ action of washing his feet. He could not understand the humility of Christ. Jesus answers that whatever Peter’s own expectations may have been, Peter must accept Jesus in the path that God has chosen for the Messiah to follow (Is. 55:7–9; Matt. 16:23).
