John 13:5-10 ▼

5 Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel that was tied around his waist.

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

7 Jesus answered him, |You don't realize now what I'm doing, but later on you'll understand.|

8 Peter told him, |You must never wash my feet!| Jesus answered him, |Unless I wash you, you cannot be involved with me.|

9 Simon Peter told him, |Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well!|

10 Jesus told him, |Whoever has bathed is entirely clean. He doesn't need to wash himself further, except for his feet. And you men are clean, though not all of you.|
