This passage starts with something that likely would have been humiliating to the disciples, the washing of their feet. We see in Peter's reaction either humiliation or anger or fear as Jesus did this act. I am not sure which or any emotions he was feeling, just that it made him very uncomfortable. How would it have made you feel?
This leads into the talk of Jesus' future betrayal and then Peter's denial of Jesus. What an intense set of moments! Everyone was failing Jesus all over the place. Yet He washed their feet. Philippians 2:5-11 shows us that we should be acting this way, like Jesus and given to Him completely – are you? I am trying to get there, I hope a bunch of you are too!
