John 13:6

New International Reader's Version

He came to Simon Peter. “Lord,” Peter said to him, “are you going to wash my feet?”

See the chapter Copy

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord!” he said. “I am a sinful man!”

He is the one who comes after me. I am not good enough to untie his sandals.”

After that, he poured water into a large bowl. Then he began to wash his disciples’ feet. He dried them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Jesus replied, “You don’t realize now what I am doing. But later you will understand.”
