John 13:14-24

14 So if I, the Master and Teacher, washed your feet, you must now wash each other's feet.
15 I've laid down a pattern for you. What I've done, you do.
16 I'm only pointing out the obvious. A servant is not ranked above his master; an employee doesn't give orders to the employer.
17 If you understand what I'm telling you, act like it - and live a blessed life.
18 "I'm not including all of you in this. I know precisely whom I've selected, so as not to interfere with the fulfillment of this Scripture: The one who ate bread at my table Turned on his heel against me.
19 "I'm telling you all this ahead of time so that when it happens you will believe that I am who I say I am.
20 Make sure you get this right: Receiving someone I send is the same as receiving me, just as receiving me is the same as receiving the One who sent me."
21 After he said these things, Jesus became visibly upset, and then he told them why. "One of you is going to betray me."
22 The disciples looked around at one another, wondering who on earth he was talking about.
23 One of the disciples, the one Jesus loved dearly, was reclining against him, his head on his shoulder.
24 Peter motioned to him to ask who Jesus might be talking about.
