Juan 13:7 Meaning and Commentary

John 13:7

Jesus answered and said unto him
Christ replies,

what I do, thou knowest not now:
Peter knew that he was about to wash his feet, and the rest of his disciples, but he did not know the meaning and mystery of it, what Christ designed by it, and what instruction they were to receive from it,

but thou shalt know hereafter;
as he did, when he had performed this service, and explained it to him. This may teach us, under dark providences, the meaning of which is not yet known by us, to wait the Lord's own time, to make things clear and plain to us, and in the mean time patiently submit to the divine will.

Juan 13:7 In-Context

5 y echó agua en un recipiente. Luego comenzó a lavarles los pies a los discípulos y a secárselos con la toalla que tenía en la cintura.

6 Cuando se acercó a Simón Pedro, este le dijo:
—Señor, ¿tú me vas a lavar los pies a mí?

7 Jesús contestó:

8 —¡No! —protestó Pedro—. ¡Jamás me lavarás los pies!
—respondió Jesús—,

9 —¡Entonces, lávame también las manos y la cabeza, Señor, no solo los pies! —exclamó Simón Pedro.
