Feet, Betrayals and Denials
Chapter 13 of the Gospel of John
Chapter 13 includes a lot of foreshadowing. Jesus is trying to prepare his disciples for the upcoming events. First he washes their feet and tells them:
"I your Lord and Master have washed your feet, you also should wash each others feet."
He predicts his betrayal and immediately (just like we would today) they want to know, which of us I it that will betray you.
He predicts Peter's denial. The story of Peter's denial is to me one of the strongest, personal stories in the Bible. For someone to love so completely and then be ruled by fear and unable to "claim" knowledge of or friendship with Jesus.
Hugs to each and everyone of you.
