John Chapter 13, Verse 6
From BibleWiki
6: ερχεται ουν προς σιμωνα πετρον και λεγει αυτω εκεινος κυριε συ μου νιπτεις τους ποδας
6: Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord,
dost thou wash my feet?
6: He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord,
dost thou wash my feet?
Dost thou wash my feet? Every word here is emphatic. Dost thou -- the Son of God, the Messiah -- perform the humble office of a servant -- toward me, a sinner? This was an expression of Peter's humility, of his reverence for Jesus, and also a refusal to allow him to do it. It is possible, though not certain from the text, that he came to Simon Peter first.
