Download discussion questions:  John 12_49-13_11 Washing Feet

This week we will look at a familiar passage, Jesus washing the feet of His disciples.  One risk we have anytime we study such a well-known story is that we can focus so much on what we already know that we might miss new insights that the Holy Spirit wants to illuminate for us.  The goal is not to make things up but to study diligently.  Remember one of my favorite quotations from an eighteenth-century German theologian, Johann, Albrecht Bengel:  “Read nothing into the Scriptures, but draw everything from them, and suffer nothing to remain hidden that is really in them.”

Download the passage and read through it several times in preparation for this week’s discussion.
