John Chapter 13 Verse 5After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel wherewith he was girded.

‹And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.›

‹I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.›

‹And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.›

‹He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.›

‹For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.›

‹And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.›

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

And supper being 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 was come from God, and went to God;

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Jesus answered and said unto him, ‹What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.›

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, ‹If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.›

Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head.

Jesus saith to him, ‹He that is washed needeth not save to wash› [his] ‹feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.›

For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, ‹Ye are not all clean.›

So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, ‹Know ye what I have done to you?›

‹Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for› [so] ‹I am.›

‹If I then,› [your] ‹Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.›

‹For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.›
