Fathers

Commentary on John, Book 32 · §9

Let us offer our feet to Jesus who still rises from supper

Therefore let us offer our feet to Jesus even now as he rises from supper,

so that by washing he may cleanse the lowest pollutions of the soul.

Greek

Διὰ τοῦτο παρέχωμεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ τοὺς πόδας ἡμῶν καὶ νῦν ἐγειρομένῳ ἐκ τοῦ δείπνου.

Ἵνα νίψας καθαρίσῃ τὰ κατωτάτω τῆς ψυχῆς μολύσματα.
