John 13:1-20
The Lord’s Supper
13Now before the Feast of athe Passover, Jesus knowing that bHis hour had come that He would depart out of this world cto the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them 1to the end. 2And during supper, athe devil having already put into the heart of bJudas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, 3Jesus, aknowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that bHe had come forth from God and was going back to God, 4*got up from supper, and *laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He atied it around Himself.
Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
5Then He *poured water into the washbasin, and began to awash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel which He had tied around Himself. 6So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not realize now, but you will understand aafterwards.” 8Peter *said to Him, “You will never wash my feet—ever!” Jesus answered him, “aIf I do not wash you, byou have no part with Me.” 9Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.” 10Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ayou are clean, but not all of you.” 11For aHe knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12So when He had washed their feet, and ataken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13“You call Me aTeacher and bLord; and 1you are right, for so I am. 14“If I then, athe Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15“For I gave you aan example that you also should do as I did to you. 16“Truly, truly, I say to you, aa slave is not greater than his master, nor is bone who is sent greater than the one who sent him. 17“If you know these things, you are ablessed if you do them. 18“aI do not speak about all of you. I know the ones I have bchosen; but cthat the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘dHe who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19“From now on aI am telling you before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe that bI am He. 20“Truly, truly, I say to you, ahe who receives anyone I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”
