The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
3
Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;
4
so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5
After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7
Jesus replied,
“You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
8
“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered,
“Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
