John 13:6-16

6 Then he came to Simon Peter, and Peter said unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou dost not understand now, but thou shalt understand afterwards.

8 Peter said unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.

9 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs only to wash his feet because he is completely clean, and ye are clean, but not all.

11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore, said he, Ye are not all clean.

12 So after he had washed their feet and had taken his garments and had sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

13 Ye call me Master and Lord; and ye say well, for so I am.

14 If I then, the Lord and the Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15 For I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you.

16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The slave is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
