John 13:12-20 - The Meaning Of Footwashing

¹² When, therefore, he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and reclined, again said he unto them - Are ye taking note, what I have done unto you? ¹³ Ye, call me, The Teacher, and, The Lord, - and, well, say, for I am. ¹⁴ If then, I, have washed your feet, - I The Lord, and, The Teacher, ye also, ought to wash, one another's, feet; ¹⁵ For, an example, have I given you, - that, just as, I, did unto you, ye also, should be doing.

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you - A servant is not greater than his lord, neither one sent forth greater than he that sent him. ¹⁷ If, these things, ye know, happy, are ye, if ye be doing them. ¹⁸ Not, concerning you all, am I speaking, - for, I, know of whom I made choice; but -- that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled: He that feedeth on my bread, hath lifted up against me, his heel.

¹⁹ Henceforth, I tell you, before it cometh to pass, - that ye may believe, whensoever it doth come to pass, that, I, am he. ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you - He that receiveth whomsoever I shall send, receiveth, me; and, he that receiveth, me, receiveth him that sent me.
