John 13:14

Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet

¹³ You call me 'Teacher,' and 'Lord,' and you are right in doing so because that is who I am. ¹⁴ So if I, then, being your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, you should wash one another's feet also. ¹⁵ For I have set an example for you, so that you should do as I have done for you.
