John 13:5-16 Then He put water into the basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe off with the towel with which He was girded.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Then He put water into the basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe off with the towel with which He was girded. ⁶ He then came to Simon Peter. And that one said to Him, Lord, do You wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing, you do not yet know. But you will know after these things. ⁸ Peter said to Him, You may in no way wash my feet to the age. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me. ⁹ Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head. ¹⁰ Jesus said to him, The one having been bathed has no need other than to wash the feet, but is wholly clean. And you are clean, but not all. ¹¹ For He knew the one betraying Him. For this reason He said, You are not all clean. ¹² Then when He had washed their feet and had taken His garments, reclining again, He said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? ¹³ You call Me the Teacher, and, the Lord. And you say well, for I AM. ¹⁴ If then I washed your feet, the Lord and the Teacher, you also ought to wash the feet of one another. ¹⁵ For I gave you an example, that as I did to you, you also should do. ¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his lord, nor a messenger greater than the one sending him.
