He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
There is no mention of any comment until Jesus comes to Peter. Either there was dead silence as Jesus washed the first few, or Peter may have been the first. At any rate, Peter does not hesitate to say something. “Peter, we may suppose, drew his feet up, as he spoke, in his impulsive humility” (Bernard). Peter’s question is the result of surprise, reverance, and misunderstanding.
