13:6 Then he came to Simon Peter. Peter 2 said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash 3 my feet?” 13:7 Jesus replied, 4 “You do not understand 5 what I am doing now, but you will understand 6 after these things.” 13:8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” 7 Jesus replied, 8 “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 13:9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, wash 10 not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!” 13:10 Jesus replied, 11 “The one who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, 12 but is completely 13 clean. 14 And you disciples 15 are clean, but not every one of you.” 13:11 (For Jesus 16 knew the one who was going to betray him. For this reason he said, “Not every one of you is 17 clean.”) 18
13:12 So when Jesus 19 had washed their feet and put his outer clothing back on, he took his place at the table 20 again and said to them, “Do you understand 21 what I have done for you? 13:13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and do so correctly, 22 for that is what I am. 23 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you too ought to wash one another’s feet. 13:15 For I have given you an example 24 – you should do just as I have done for you. 13:16 I tell you the solemn truth, 25 the slave 26 is not greater than his master, nor is the one who is sent as a messenger 27 greater than the one who sent him. 13:17 If you understand 28 these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
