John 13:4-14

⁴He got up from dinner and took off his outer clothing. Then he took a towel and wrapped it around himself.

⁵Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and dry them with the towel that he had put around himself.

⁶He came to Simon Peter, and Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

⁷Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand this later.”

⁸Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.”

⁹Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, do not only wash my feet, but also my hands and my head.”

¹⁰Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but he is completely clean; you are clean, but not everyone.”

¹¹(For Jesus knew who would betray him; that is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”)

¹²So when Jesus had washed their feet and taken his garments and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you?

¹³You call me 'teacher' and 'Lord,' and you are speaking correctly, because so I am.

¹⁴If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you should also wash the feet of one another.
