In context
4got up from the meal, laid aside his outer clothing, took a towel and tied it around his waist. 5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel around his waist. 6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will.” 8Peter said to him, “Never — you will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.”
