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.
