John 13:12-17

12 After he had finished washing their feet, he took his robe, put it back on, and went back to his place at the table.
13 You address me as 'Teacher' and 'Master,' and rightly so. That is what I am.
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.
