7. Jesus answered him, “You do not understand what I am doing now. But later you will understand.”
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. You are clean, but not all of you.”
11. For He knew who would betray Him. Therefore He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12. So when He had washed their feet, and put on His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
13. You call Me Teacher and Lord. You speak accurately, for so I am.
14. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
16. Truly, truly I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
