John 13:3-17
3Jesus knewG1492 thatG3754 theG3588 FatherG3962 had deliveredG1325 all thingsG3956 intoG1519 His handsG5495, andG2532 thatG3754 He had comeG1831 fromG575 GodG2316 andG2532 was returningG5217 toG4314 GodG2316. 4So He got upG1453 fromG1537 theG3588 supperG1173, laid asideG5087 His outer garmentsG2440, andG2532 wrappedG1241 a towelG3012 around His waistG1438. 5After thatG1534, He pouredG906 waterG5204 intoG1519 a basinG3537 andG2532 beganG756 to washG3538 theG3588 disciplesG3588G3101’ feetG4228 andG2532 dryG1591 them with theG3588 towelG3012 thatG3739 wasG1510 around HimG1241.
He cameG2064 toG4314 SimonG4613 PeterG4074, who askedG3004 HimG846, “LordG2962, are You going to washG4771G3538 myG1473 feetG4228?”
7JesusG2424 repliedG611G2532G2036G846, “YouG4771 do notG3756 realizeG1492 nowG737 whatG3739 IG1473 am doingG4160, butG1161 laterG3326G3778 you will understandG1097.”
8“NeverG3756G3361 shall You washG3538 myG1473 feetG4228!” PeterG4074 toldG3004 HimG846.
JesusG2424 answeredG611, “UnlessG1437G3361 I washG3538 youG4771, you haveG2192 noG3756 partG3313 withG3326 MeG1473.”
9“Then, LordG2962,” SimonG4613 PeterG4074 repliedG3004, “notG3361 onlyG3440 myG1473 feetG4228, butG235 my handsG5495 andG2532 my headG2776 as wellG2532!”
JesusG2424 toldG3004 himG846, “WhoeverG3588 has already bathedG3068 needsG5532 onlyG1487G3361 to washG3538 his feetG4228, and he will be completelyG3650 cleanG2513. AndG2532 youG4771 areG1510 cleanG2513, thoughG235 notG3780 allG3956 of you.” 11ForG1063 He knewG1492 whoG3588 would betrayG3860 HimG846. That is whyG1223G3778 He saidG2036, “NotG3780 allG3956 of youG1510 are cleanG2513.”
WhenG3753 Jesus had washedG3538 theirG846 feetG4228 andG2532 put onG2983 HisG846 outer garmentsG2440, He reclined with themG377 againG3825 and askedG2036G846, “Do you knowG1097 whatG5101 I have doneG4160 for youG4771? 13YouG4771 callG5455 MeG1473 TeacherG1320 andG2532 LordG2962, andG2532 rightlyG2573 so, becauseG1063 I amG1510. 14SoG3767 ifG1487 IG1473, your LordG2962 andG2532 TeacherG1320, have washedG3538 yourG4771 feetG4228, youG4771 alsoG2532 shouldG3784 washG3538 one another’sG240 feetG4228. 15I have setG1325 youG4771 an exampleG5262 so thatG2443 youG4771 should doG4160 asG2531 IG1473 have doneG4160 for youG4771. 16TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, noG3756 servantG1401 isG1510 greater thanG3173 hisG846 masterG2962,1 norG3761 is a messengerG652 greater thanG3173 theG3588 one who sentG3992 himG846. 17IfG1487 you knowG1492 these thingsG3778, you will beG1510 blessedG3107 ifG1437 you doG4160 themG846.
