Ordinarily, washing feet was for slaves. Since
no one offered to perform this duty, Jesus took
to do it. It of course amazed the disciples that
Jesus would do such a task.

They were all quiet with shame until He got
to Peter. Peter hardly finding the words, said,
"Doest thou wash my feet?"

And Jesus told him that what He did he would
not understand now but he should know here-
after.
