John 13:4-14

⁴He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself.

⁵After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

⁶He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

⁸Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.

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

¹⁰Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.

¹¹For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.

¹²Then after he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?

¹³You call me Master, and Lord; and you say well, for so I am.

¹⁴If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
