Simon Peter replied, not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well! Persons / Places / Events 1. Simon PeterOne of Jesus' closest disciples, known for his impulsive nature and deep devotion to Christ. In this passage, he is eager to fully participate in what Jesus is doing, showing his desire for complete inclusion in Jesus' mission. 2. Jesus The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who is demonstrating servant leadership by washing the feet of His disciples, symbolizing spiritual cleansing and humility. 3. The Upper Room The setting for the Last Supper, where Jesus shares His final meal with His disciples before His crucifixion. It is a place of intimate teaching and revelation. 4.

Teaching Points Humility in ServiceJesus' act of washing the disciples' feet is a profound lesson in humility. As followers of Christ, we are called to serve others selflessly, putting their needs above our own. Spiritual Cleansing Peter's request for Jesus to wash not only his feet but also his hands and head symbolizes a desire for complete spiritual cleansing. We should seek to be wholly purified by Christ. Understanding Jesus' Mission Peter's initial misunderstanding highlights the importance of seeking to understand Jesus' mission and teachings fully. We must be open to learning and growing in our faith. The Role of Obedience Jesus' response to Peter underscores the necessity of obedience to His commands. True discipleship involves following Jesus' example and teachings. Community and Fellowship The setting of the Upper Room reminds us of the importance of community and fellowship in the Christian life. We are called to support and serve one another in love.(9) Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.--Peter still misunderstands the meaning; but he is true to his loving impulsive character. No part with his Master! He will give up anything, everything. He knows not what this washing means, and cannot conceive that it is fitting for Christ to wash his feet; but if it in any sense can mean having a part with Christ, then not the feet only, but the whole man.Verse 9. - Simon Peter makes another impetuous and characteristic outburst, and another of his almost glorious mistakes. Once more he will go before and give advice to his Master. The very same Peter who drew the sword in Gethsemane and then fled, who went to the high priest's palace and then denied his Lord; the very same Peter who rushed into the water anal then cried, "Lord, save me, I perish," who cried, even on the Mount of Transfiguration, "Let us build three tabernacles;" and when our Lord spoke of his cross said, "This shall not be done unto thee;" - the same Simon Peter now said to him, "If it comes to the primal experience of being washed by thee in thine unutterable love, if there be any question of part and share with thee in thy work, I will (cf. ver. 37) go with thee to prison and to death, then, blessed Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head; i.e. all my uncovered body; seeing that my power of thinking and all my capacity for service alike need cleansing." Peter not unreasonably felt the weakness and corruption of his nature, and cried out, as we all are often disposed to do, for renewal and sanctification of every faculty and energy of his being. In this he showed a lack of realization of the new world into which grace had brought him, and once more needed correction. Chrysostom says, "In his deprecation be was vehement, in his yielding more vehement, but both came from his love." But even here we see the same eagerness to go beyond the Lord, and dictate the course to be pursued. Parallel Commentaries ...
