John 13:4–14

^4hrose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. ⁵After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. ⁶Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, ⁱ“Lord, are You washing my feet?”

⁷Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you ^jdo not understand now, ^kbut you will know after this.”

⁸Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!”

Jesus answered him, ^l“If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”

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

¹⁰Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ^myou are clean, but not all of you.” ¹¹For ⁿHe knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”

¹²So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you ²know what I have done to you? ^13oYou call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. ^14pIf I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^qyou also ought to wash one another’s feet.
