Context of John 13:10
8Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 11For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 12So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

Needeth not save to wash his feet - To cleanse them from any dirt or dust that might have adhered to them, in consequence of walking from the bath to the place of supper.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10He that is washed - This is a difficult passage, and interpreters have been divided about its meaning.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10Jesus was pointing to a deeper cleansing through his sacrifice. He was not speaking only about washing the body. He was speaking about being made clean in a complete way. Through his death, he makes a person clean all over. This means forgiveness of sin and a restored relationship with God.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 6-116-11. Peter saith ... Lord, dost thou wash my feet?--Our language cannot bring out the intensely vivid contrast between the "Thou" and the "my," which, by bringing them together, the original expresses, for it is not good English to say, "Lord, Thou my feet dost wash?" But every word of this question is emphatic. Thus far, and in the question itself, there was nothing but the most profound and beautiful astonishment at a condescension to him quite…Read the comment
