On the night before the crucifixion, Jesus knelt before his disciples and performed the work of a servant.
Jesus Washing Peter’s Feet reflects the tension of John 13: Peter’s resistance, Christ’s humility, and the startling reversal of greatness displayed by the Lord himself.
The scene points beyond an act of kindness toward the shape of Christian discipleship. The One who rightly receives worship chose the basin and towel, then told his followers to learn from what he had done.
