John 13:3-15

3 Jesus, ¹knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that ²He 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 ³girded Himself.

5 Then He poured water into the basin, and began to ⁴wash 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 ⁵hereafter *."

8 Peter said to Him, "Never * shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "⁶If I do not wash you, ⁷you 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 ⁸you are clean, but not all of you."

11 For ⁹He 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 ¹⁰taken 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 ¹¹Teacher and ¹²Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

14 "If I then, ¹³the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 "For I gave you ¹⁴an example that you also should do as I did to you.
