John 13:8

“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”  Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

From Background Notes [BN] for March 7th & 8th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

To have a "part,” a meros with Jesus, means being in the place provided by Jesus, namely, with him in his glory, the place God the Father gave him.



For the average Jew in Jesus' day, such a place meant either a richer stake in the holy land or future life in the kingdom of God (see Old Testament texts: Numbers 18:20; Deteronomy 12:12; 14:27). [BN,6]
