2And after supper (the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him),
3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given everything into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
4He gets up from the meal and lays aside His garments, and taking a towel He tied it around Himself.
5Then He poured water into the basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel with which He was wrapped.
6So He comes to Simon Peter, and he says to Him, “Lord, you wash my feet?!”
7Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know by experience after this.”
8Peter says to Him, “You will never ever wash my feet!!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.”
9Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!”
10Jesus says to him: “One who is bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you (pl) are clean, but not all of you.”
11(He knew who was betraying Him; that is why He said, “Not all of you are clean.”)
12So when Jesus had washed their feet and put His garments back on, He reclined again and said to them: “Do you know what I have done to you?
13You address me as ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’, and you speak correctly, because I am.
14So then, if I, Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15Because I have given you an example, so that you also should do just as I did to you.
16“Most assuredly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his owner, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17If you understand these things, you are blessed if you do them.
18“I do not speak concerning all of you—I know whom I chose. But let the Scripture be fulfilled: ‘The one eating bread with me lifted up his heel against me.’
19I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am.
20Most assuredly I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives me, and he who receives me receives Him who sent me.”
21Having said these things, Jesus was distressed in His spirit and testified saying, “Most assuredly I say to you, one of you will betray me!”
22So the disciples started looking at each other, at a loss as to whom He meant.
23Now one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining beside Jesus' bosom.
24So Simon Peter motions to him to inquire whom it might be that He was referring to.
25And leaning back against Jesus' breast he says to Him, “Lord, who is it?”
