Context of John 13:10
8Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me. 9Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus says to him, He that is washed all over needs not to wash save his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all. 11For he knew him that delivered him up: on account of this he said, Ye are not all clean. 12When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye know what I have done to you?

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10He that is washed - That is, he who has been in the bath, as probably all the apostles had lately been, in order to prepare themselves the better for the paschal solemnity; for on that occasion, it was the custom of the Jews to bathe twice. 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
