Exegesis

The conditional ei mē {εἰ μὴ | ei mē} signals an exception, with the infinitive nipsasthai {νίψασθαι | ní-psas-thai} ‘to wash’ governed by chreian echei, specifying that only the feet (tous podas {τοὺς πόδας | toùs pó-das}) require washing.

In contextJohn 13:10

Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except to wash his feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean , but not all of you.”
