John 13:3-15

3Yeshua knew that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.

4So He gets up from the meal and lays aside His outer garment; and taking a towel, He wrapped it around His waist.

5Then He pours water into a basin. He began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel wrapped around Him.

6Then He comes to Simon Peter, who says to Him, “Master, are You going to wash my feet?”

7Yeshua responded, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things.”

8Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Yeshua answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with Me.”

9Simon Peter said to Him, “Master, then not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!”

10Yeshua said to him, “He who has bathed has no need to wash, except the feet; he is completely clean. And you all are clean, though not every one.”

11He knew who was betraying Him; for this reason, He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12So after He had washed their feet and put His robe back on and reclined again, He said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you?

13You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Master’—and rightly you say, for I am.

14So if I, your Master and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash each other’s feet.

15I have given you an example—you should do for each other what I have done for you.
