John 13:3-15

3Jesus, 1knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that 2He had come forth from God and was going back to God, 4got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He 3girded Himself. 5Then He poured water into the basin, and began to 4wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. 6So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand 5hereafter.” 8Peter said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “6If I do not wash you, 7you have no part with Me.” 9Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.” 10Jesus said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and 8you are clean, but not all of you.” 11For 9He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12So when He had washed their feet, and 10taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13You call Me 11Teacher and 12Lord; and 13you are right, for so I am. 14If I then, 14the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15For I gave you 15an example that you also should do as I did to you.
