John 13:2-9

2During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

4rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist.

5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

7Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand."

8Peter said to him, "You shall 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, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!"
