John 13:2-9

2It was time for supper, and the devil had already prompted Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.

3Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God.

4So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist,

5and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.

6When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”

8“No,” Peter protested, “you will never ever wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”

9Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”
