John 13:6 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Ver. 6. Then cometh he to Peter] He came first to him (for the former verse sets forth his intent rather than his act of washing). And yet St Chrysostom tells of some that would needs have it, that he began with Judas. Like as the Papists say that our Saviour appeared first, after his resurrection, to the Virgin Mary; though the text be plain that he first showed himself to Mary Magdalene. These are like him in Aristotle, that thought that everywhere he saw his own shape and picture going before him.
