John 13:4-14

⁴Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.

⁵Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.

⁶So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?

⁷And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

⁸Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

⁹Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.

¹⁰Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.

¹¹(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

¹²Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?

¹³You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

¹⁴If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.
