Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come in which He would depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own that were in the world, Jesus loved them unto the end. And supper had ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him; Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands and that He came from God and went to God; Jesus stood up from supper, and laying aside His garments He took a towel and girded Himself. After Jesus poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that He was girded with. Then Jesus approached Simon Peter, who said unto Jesus Lord, do You wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do you do not know now, but after you shall know. Peter said unto Jesus; You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash do not wash you, then you will have no part with Me.

Simon Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, not only my feet but also my hands and my head. Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.” For He knew who would betray Him; therefore, He said, “You are not all clean. After Jesus had washed their feet, and had taken His garments, and was sat down again, said unto them, Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Master and Lord: and in doing you say well for so I am. If I then, being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than His lord; neither is He that is sent greater than the Father that sent Him. If you know these things, happy are you if you do them. John 13 vs 1-17.
