John 13:12–20

¹²When Jesus finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes. Then he returned to his place.

“Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. ¹³“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You are right. That is what I am. ¹⁴I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. So you also should wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵I have given you an example. You should do as I have done for you.

¹⁶“What I’m about to tell you is true. A servant is not more important than his master. And a messenger is not more important than the one who sends him. ¹⁷Now you know these things. So you will be blessed if you do them.

Jesus Tells What Judas Will Do

¹⁸“I am not talking about all of you. I know those I have chosen. But this will happen so that Scripture will come true. It says, ‘The one who shares my bread has deserted me.’

¹⁹“I am telling you now, before it happens. When it does happen, you will believe that I am he. ²⁰What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who accepts someone I send accepts me. And anyone who accepts me accepts the One who sent me.”
