Station #1: Peter resists then receives the footwashing | JOHN 13:1-20

Reader 1: Read John 13:1-20 in your preferred translation.

Reader 2: We have heard the words of scripture. Let us now use our holy imaginations to read between the words and consider how Peter might have felt in these moments. Hear now a dramatic reading inspired by John 13:1-20.

Reader 3 (Peter): This feels . . . strange. What does Jesus mean by all this? What does he mean by saying that not all of us are clean? He washed our feet, which was . . . strange. But I trust my teacher. I’ve given up everything to follow him. Is that not love? His words seem . . . strange. What does he know? What is he not saying?
