John 13:2-9

2The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, that he should betray Jesus.

3Because Jesus knew that the Father had handed all things over to him, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

4he got up from the meal, removed his outer clothes, took a towel and tied it around himself.

5He poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel he had wrapped around himself.

6Then he came to Simon Peter. Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7Jesus replied, “You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things.”

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

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