SCRIPTURE

"So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?" — John 13:6 (ASV)

Then he comes to Simon Peter: and Peter says to him, Lord, do you wash my feet?

I do not wonder that he said that; would you not have been equally astonished had you been there? Peter had some faint idea who Christ was. He had confessed him in such a way that Jesus had said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

Knowing so much about Christ, Peter did marvel at his action; he felt so astonished that he asked, Do you wash my feet?
