arose from supper, and laid aside his clothes, and taking a towel girded himself: Then he put water into the wash-basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. Then he came to Simon Peter; he said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet? Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you know not now, but you shall know hereafter. Peter said to him, You shall never by any means wash my feet. He answered him, Unless I wash you you have no part with me. Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head. Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs only that his feet should be washed, but is wholly pure; and you are pure, but not all. For he knew him that was to betray him; therefore, he said, You are not all pure. When, therefore, he had washed their feet, and taken his clothes and sat down again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord; and you say well, for I am. If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done. I tell you most truly, the servant is not greater than his lord, nor the apostle greater than he that sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
