John 13:6

Contemporary English Version 1995

But when he came to Simon Peter, this disciple asked, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

See the chapter Copy

Even though I came first, I am not good enough to untie his sandals.”

When Simon Peter saw this happen, he knelt down in front of Jesus and said, “Lord, don't come near me! I am a sinner.”

He put some water into a large bowl. Then he began washing his disciples' feet and drying them with the towel he was wearing.

Jesus answered, “You don't really know what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
