'Washing' in the Bible
Now six pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews.
Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.
And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.
His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.
Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.
Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?
