Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 13:9

"Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." — John 13:9 (ASV)

Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

How that pendulum swings to and fro! It went this way just now: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Now it goes right away to the other extreme: Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Go more gently, Peter, be more quiet. Why do you go so far in one direction and then rush off so far in another way? Your Master knows better than you know what is right for you.
