Contextual Overview

¹ NOW before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew the hour had come to depart from this world to his Father. And he loved his own who were in this world, and he loved them unto the end. ² During supper, Satan put into the heart of Judas, son of Simon of Iscariot, to deliver him. ³ But Jesus, because he knew that the Father had given everything into his hands, and that he came from God, and was going to God, ⁴ He rose from supper and laid aside his robes; and he took an apron and tied it around his loins. ⁵ Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe them with the apron which was tied around his loins. ⁶ When he came to Simon Peter, Simon said to him, You, my Lord, are you going to wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing, you do not know now, but later you will understand. ⁸ Then Simon Peter said to him, You will never wash my feet. Jesus said to him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter said to him, Then, my Lord, wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus said to him, He who has bathed does not need except to wash his feet only, for he is already all clean; so you are all clean, but not everyone of you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then cometh he to Simon Peter,.... After having washed the feet of some of the disciples, as is thought by some interpreters, and particularly the feet of Judas, without any repulse; though others are of opinion that he began with Peter, who modestly, and out of reverence to him, refuses to be washed by him:

and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet! he speaks as one surprised and astonished that Christ should offer to do any such thing to him; that he, who was the Son of the living God, should wash the feet of such a sinful man as he was; that those hands, with which he had wrought such miracles, as the opening the eyes of the blind, cleansing lepers, and raising the dead, should be employed in washing his defiled feet, the meaner and inferior parts of his body; this he thought was greatly below his dignity and character, and too much to be done by him to such a worthless creature as he was.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 13:6. Lord, dost THOU wash MY feet? — Every word here is exceedingly emphatic. Peter had often seen the great humility of his Lord, but never saw his condescension so particularly marked as in this instance.
