John 13:5-15 ▼

5 Then casts he water into a washing vessel, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe with the linen cloth with which he was girded.

6 And he comes to Simon Peter: and he says to him, Lord, washest thou my feet?

7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know after these.

8 Peter says to him, Thou shouldest never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Except I wash thee, thou hast no part with me.

9 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but the hands and head.

10 Jesus says to him, He washed has no need but to have the feet washed, but is wholly clean: and ye are clean, but not all.

11 For he knew him delivering him up, therefore he said, Ye are not all clean.

12 When therefore he washed their feet; and took his garments, going to recline again, he said to them, Knew ye what I have done to you?

13 Ye call one Teacher and Lord: and ye say well; for I am.

14 If therefore, I washed your feet, the Lord and Teacher; ye also ought to wash the feet of one another:

15 For I have given you a pattern, as I have done to you, also should ye do.
