John 13:8

John 13:8

6 Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, ^a“Lord, are You washing my feet?”

7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you ^ado not understand now, ^bbut you will know after this.”

8 Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, ^a“If I do not wash you, you have no part 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, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ^ayou are clean, but not all of you.”

11 For ^aHe knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< John 13:7

John 13:9 >>

If I wash thee not - If thou dost not submit to my will, thou hast no part with me - Thou art not my disciple. In a more general sense it may mean, If I do not wash thee in my blood, and purify thee by my Spirit, thou canst have no communion with me, nor any share in the blessings of my kingdom.
