John 13:17

Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet

¹⁶ Truly, truly, I tell you, a slave is not greater [in importance] than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the person who sent him. ¹⁷ If you know these things, you will be happy if you practice them. ¹⁸ "I am not talking about all of you; for I know the ones I have chosen [i.e., which of the twelve apostles would be faithful]. But let the Scripture [Psa. 41:9] be fulfilled [that says], 'The person who eats with me has [viciously] turned against me.'

Blessed are

Galatians 5:6
