John 13:6 Douay-Rheims

He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Origen

c. A.D. 184–253 Patristic

(t. xxxii. 5.) Or thus: All the rest put out their feet, certain that so great a one would not want to wash them without reason: but Peter, looking only to the thing itself, and seeing nothing beyond it, refused out of reverence to let his feet be washed. He often appears in Scripture as hasty in putting forth his own ideas of what is right and expedient.
