John
13:1-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
13 Now before the
Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this
world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the
end.
2 And supper being
ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot,
Simon’s son, to betray Him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given
all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, 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.”
