Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 13
⁴ rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
⁵ After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
⁶ Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"
⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."
⁸ Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."
⁹ Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"
¹⁰ Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."
¹¹ For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."
¹² So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
¹³ You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
