John 13:2-17

2 During supper, ¹the devil having already put into the heart of ²Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

3 Jesus, ³knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that ⁴He 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 ⁵girded Himself.

5 Then He poured water into the basin, and began to ⁶wash 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 ⁷hereafter *."

8 Peter said to Him, "Never * shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "⁸If I do not wash you, ⁹you 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."

10 Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only * * to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ¹⁰you are clean, but not all of you."

11 For ¹¹He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean."

12 So when He had washed their feet, and ¹²taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

13 "You call Me ¹³Teacher and ¹⁴Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

14 "If I then, ¹⁵the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 "For I gave you ¹⁶an example that you also should do as I did to you.

16 "Truly, truly, I say to you, ¹⁷a slave is not greater than his master, nor is ¹⁸one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

17 "If you know these things, you are ¹⁹blessed if you do them.
