Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
1 Now
1before
2the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that
3his hour had come
4to depart out of this world to the Father,
5having loved
6his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2
During supper, when
7the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
3
Jesus, knowing
8that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that
9he had come from God and
10was going back to God,
4
rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel,
11tied it around his waist.
5
Then he
12poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet? ”
7
13Jesus answered him, “What I am doing
14you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand. ”
