John 13:6
Douay-Rheims
He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
Origen
(t. xxxii. 6.) This saying we may use against those who make hasty and indiscreet resolutions. By shewing them, that if they adhere to these, they will have no part with Jesus, we disengage them from such resolves; even though they may have bound themselves by oath.
