John 13:3–8

3 Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his hands,bb that he had come from God,bc and that he was going back to God.bd 4 So he got up from supper, laid aside his outer clothing,be took a towel, and tied it around himself.bf 5 Next, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around him.

6 He came to Simon Peter,bg who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7 Jesus answered him, “What I’m doing you don’t realize now, but afterward you will understand.”a

8 “You will never wash my feet,” Peter said.

Jesus replied, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”
