John 13:10–18
10Jesus said to him,“Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”↗
11For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said,“You are not all clean.”↗
12So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them,“Do you know what I have done to you?↗
13You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.↗
14If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.↗
15For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.↗
16Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.↗
17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.↗
18I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’↗
