John 13:4-10 ▼

4 he got up from the meal, removed his outer clothes, took a towel and tied it around himself.

5 He poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel he had wrapped around himself.

6 Then he came to Simon Peter. Peter said to him, |Lord, are you going to wash my feet?|

7 Jesus replied, |You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things.|

8 Peter said to him, |You will never wash my feet!| Jesus replied, |If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.|

9 Simon Peter said to him, |Lord, wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!|

10 Jesus replied, |The one who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not every one of you.|
