John 13:6

The Text-Critical English New Testament

When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are yoʋ going to wash my feet?”

See the chapter Copy

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

He is the one who comes after me, who ranks ahead of me, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”

After that, he put water into the washbasin and began to wash his disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around his waist.

Jesus answered him, “What I am doing yoʋ do not now understand, but afterward yoʋ will understand.”
