John 13:1-9

The Lord's Supper

1 Now before the Feast of ¹the Passover, Jesus knowing that ²His hour had come that He would depart out of this world ³to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

2 During supper, ⁴the devil having already put into the heart of ⁵Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

3 Jesus, ⁶knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that ⁷He had come forth from God and was going back to God,

4 got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He ⁸girded Himself.

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

5 Then He poured water into the basin, and began to ⁹wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

6 So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet?"

7 Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand ¹⁰hereafter *."

8 Peter said to Him, "Never * shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "¹¹If I do not wash you, ¹²you have no part with Me."

9 Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."
