John 13:1-5 ▼

1 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that the hour has come when He must depart out of this world to His Father, having loved His own who were in the world, with divine love, He loved them perfectly.

2 And the supper being on hand, the devil already having entered into the heart, that Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, should betray Him,

3 knowing that the Father has given all things into His hands, and He came out from God, and is going away to God,

4 He rises from the supper, and lays aside His garments, and taking a towel, girded Himself;

5 then He pours water into a bowl, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
