John 13:3-15

3Jesus, 1knowing that the Father had handed all things over to Him, and that 2He had come forth from God and was going back to God, 4got up from supper and laid His outer garments aside; and He took a towel and 3tied it around Himself. 5Then He poured water into the basin, and began 4washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself. 6So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, “Lord, You are washing my feet?” 7Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not realize right now, but you will understand 5later.” 8Peter said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “6If I do not wash you, 7you have no 8place 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; otherwise he is completely clean. And 9you are clean--but 10not all of you.” 11For 11He knew the one who was betraying Him; it was for this reason that He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12Then, when He had washed their feet, and 12taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you? 13You call Me 13‘Teacher’ and 14‘Lord’; and 15you are correct, for so I am. 14So if I, 16the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15For I gave you 17an example, so that you also would do just as I did for you.
