John 13:1–17

Now ^abefore the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that ^bhis hour was come that he should ^cdepart out of this world unto the Father, having loved ^dhis own ^ewhich were in the world, he loved them unto the end. ²And supper being ended, ^fthe devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, ^gSimon’s son, to betray him; ³Jesus knowing that ^hthe Father had given all things into his hands, and ⁱthat he was come from God, and ^cwent to God; ^4kHe riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and ^lgirded himself. ⁵After that he ^mpoureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. ⁶Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and ^†Peter saith unto him, ⁿLord, dost thou wash my feet? ⁷Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; ^obut thou shalt know hereafter. ⁸Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, ^pIf I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. ⁹Simon Peter saith unto him, ^qLord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is ^rclean ^severy whit: and ^tye are clean, but not all. ¹¹For ^uhe knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

¹²So after he had washed their feet, and ^xhad taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, ^oKnow ye what I have done to you? ¹³Ye call me ^yMaster and ^zLord: and ye say well; for so I am. ¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Master, ^khave washed your feet; ^aye also ought to wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵For I have given you an example, ^bthat ye should do as I have done to you. ¹⁶Verily, verily, I say unto you, ^cThe servant is not greater than his lord; neither ^cche that is sent greater than he that sent him. ^17dIf ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
