8. Peter said, “No! You will never wash my feet.”Jesus answered, “If I don’t wash your feet, then you are not one of my people.”
9. Simon Peter answered, “Lord, after you wash my feet, wash my hands and my head, too!”
10. Jesus said, “After a person has had a bath, his whole body is clean. He needs only to wash his feet. And you men are clean, but not all of you.”
11. Jesus knew who would turn against him. That is why Jesus said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12. When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and sat down again. Jesus asked, “Do you understand what I have just done for you?
13. You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ And this is right, because that is what I am.
14. I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. So you also should wash each other’s feet.
15. I did this as an example for you. So you should do as I have done for you.
16. I tell you the truth. A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who sent him.
17. If you know these things, you will be happy if you do them.
18. “I am not talking about all of you. I know those I have chosen. But what the Scripture said must happen: ‘The man who ate at my table has now turned against me.’
