# Connecting Statement:

Jesus continues to speak to Simon Peter.

# He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but he is completely clean; you are clean, but not everyone
|
|

|
Here Jesus speaks about "bathed" and "wash" and "clean" to mean making someone spiritually clean or pure. Since Jesus said in 13:7 that the disciples would not fully understand what was happening, translations should keep the "washing" imagery and not try to explain it in the text.

The word "but" shows the contrast between a person needing to be cleaned and a person already being being clean. In some languages "but" would not be used. Alternate translation: "He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, because he is completely clean" or "He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet; he is completely clean" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-connectingwords]])

# has no need

It is implied that this need concerns washing the whole body. Alternate translation: "has no need to be fully bathed" or "does not need me to wash his whole body" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]) |
