Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John 13:14
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.Ye ought also to wash one another's feet — And why did they not? Why do we not read of any one apostle ever washing the feet of any other? Because they understood the Lord better. They knew he never designed that this should be literally taken. He designed to teach them the great lesson of humble love, as well as to confer inward purity upon them. And hereby he teaches us, 1. In every possible way... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:5
5. Began to wash The act of washing is a double emblem, symbolizing first, the duty of humble service to our brother, and second, the purification of the soul from sin. Both these solemn meanings are supremely combined in the great act of Jesus, by which he humbles himself unto death for our sakes, and purifies our souls by his blood. Different parts of the dialogue now ensuing refer to these two meanings. read more

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.If I wash thee not — If thou dost not submit to my will, thou hast no part with me - Thou art not my disciple.
