John 13:5-16 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself. ⁶ Then he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" ⁷ Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand it later." ⁸ Peter answered, "No, never shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," said Jesus, "you have no part in me." ⁹ "Lord," said Simon Peter, "not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." ¹⁰ Jesus said: "He who has bathed needs only to have his feet washed, and he is altogether clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." ¹¹ (For he knew who should betray him, for that reason he said that they were not every one of them clean.) ¹² So after he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments again, and taken his place, he said to them. ¹³ "Do you understand what I have been doing to you? You call me 'Teacher' and 'Master', and you say well, for such I am. ¹⁴ If then I have washed your feet, I the 'Master' and the 'Teacher', you also ought to wash one another's feet, ¹⁵ for I have given you an example, that you also should do what I have done to you. ¹⁶ In solemn truth I tell you that a slave is not greater than his master, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sends him.
