John 13:12-20 - The Meaning Of Footwashing

¹² So after He had washed their feet and had taken His garments and had reclined again, He said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? ¹³ You call Me the Teacher, and Lord, and you say well, for I AM. ¹⁴ If then I, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, A servant is not greater than his master, neither is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. ¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. ¹⁸ I do not speak of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me."

¹⁹ From now I tell you before it comes, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM. ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who receives whomever I send receives Me. And he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.
