John 13:1–11
1Now before the Passover festival, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2During supper, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him. 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4got up from the meal, set aside his outer garments, took a towel, and wrapped it around his waist. 5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had wrapped around himself. 6When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" 7Jesus answered him, "You don't understand what I'm doing now, but you will understand later." 8Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me." 9Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well!" 10Jesus said to him, "Someone who has been bathed needs only to wash his feet, and is completely clean. And you are clean, but not all of you." 11For he knew who was going to betray him; that is why he said, "Not all of you are clean."
