John 13:8

6 Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, ^a“Lord, are You washing my feet?”

7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you ^ado not understand now, ^bbut you will know after this.”

8 Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, ^a“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 ^ayou are clean, but not all of you.”

11 For ^aHe 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 you¹ know what I have done to you?

13 ^aYou call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.

14 ^aIf I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^byou also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15 For ^aI have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

16 ^aMost assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
