OET (OET-LV) Petros is_saying to_him:
By_no_means you_may_ not _wash the feet of_me to the age.
Yaʸsous answered to_him:
If I_may_ not _wash you, are_ not _having part with me.

OET (OET-RV) Peter responded, “Well I’m never ever going to let you wash my feet!”
 ¶ “If I don’t wash them,” Yeshua answered, “then you won’t be included in my group.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:1–20: Jesus washed his disciples’ feet

Beginning in this section, Jesus ate supper with the disciples for the last time. First he washed their feet as an example of loving service.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus washed his disciples’ feet at the last supper

Jesus set an example by washing feet

Jesus served his disciples by washing their feet

Paragraph 13:6–11

Peter did not want Jesus to serve him in this way. Jesus told him that he needed to allow Jesus to wash his feet if he wanted to follow Jesus. Peter then asked Jesus to wash his hands and head as well as his feet.

13:8a

“Never shall You wash my feet!” Peter told Him.

Never shall You wash my feet!: In the Greek this is a strong statement. Peter rejected the idea that he would ever let Jesus wash his feet. Here are other ways to translate this statement:

Never at any time will you wash my feet! (GNT)

I will never let you wash my feet. (REB)

You may/must never wash my feet!

Peter told Him: Here Simon Peter is referred to as just Peter.

13:8b

Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.”

Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me: This statement here means “If I do not wash you, you will not have fellowship or inheritance with me.” This sentence says that the washing was figuratively a necessary condition for belonging to Jesus or being saved. It refers to the washing that cleanses people of their sins (see 13:10), not to washing his feet. However, you should not make the figurative sense explicit. Here is another way to translate this sentence:

If I don’t wash you, you don’t really belong to me. (CEV)

Unless I wash you: This phrase here means “If I do not wash your feet.” Here Jesus referred to literally washing Peter’s feet. You may want to make this explicit. For example:

If I do not wash your feet…. (GNT)

But Jesus also spoke figuratively of cleansing Peter from his sins. It is good to translate this literally but use words that suggest or allow the possibility of the figurative meaning.

you have no part with Me: This clause refers to having no fellowship or communion with Jesus, nothing in common with him. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

you don’t belong to me (GW)

you are not one of my people (NCV)

General Comment on 13:8b

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the order of the clauses in 13:8b. For example:

You will not be one of my people unless I wash you.

You will not belong to me if I do not wash you.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˓is˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

ἐὰν μὴ νίψω σε, οὐκ ἔχεις μέρος μετ’ ἐμοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῷ Πέτρος Οὒ μή νίψῃς μού τούς πόδας εἰς τόν αἰῶνα ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς αὐτῷ Ἐάν μή νίψω σέ οὐκ ἔχεις μέρος μετʼ ἐμοῦ)

Jesus uses two negative statements to convince Peter to allow him to wash his feet. If this double negative would be misunderstood in your language, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [I must wash you so that you can have a share with me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐὰν μὴ νίψω σε, οὐκ ἔχεις μέρος μετ’ ἐμοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῷ Πέτρος Οὒ μή νίψῃς μού τούς πόδας εἰς τόν αἰῶνα ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς αὐτῷ Ἐάν μή νίψω σέ οὐκ ἔχεις μέρος μετʼ ἐμοῦ)

Jesus’ use of no share with me could imply: (1) that Peter must let him wash his feet if he wants to receive his share of the inheritance that God promised to give his people. Alternate translation: [If I do not wash you, you will not share in God’s promised inheritance with me]; (2) that Peter must let him wash his feet if he wants to continue being his disciple. Alternate translation: [If I do not wash you, you will no longer be my disciple]

OET (OET-LV) Petros is_saying to_him:
By_no_means you_may_ not _wash the feet of_me to the age.
Yaʸsous answered to_him:
If I_may_ not _wash you, are_ not _having part with me.

OET (OET-RV) Peter responded, “Well I’m never ever going to let you wash my feet!”
 ¶ “If I don’t wash them,” Yeshua answered, “then you won’t be included in my group.”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
