John 13:1-5 ▼

1 It was now just before the Passover Feast, and Jesus knew that His hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the very end.

2 The evening meal was underway, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.

3 Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.

4 So He got up from the supper, laid aside His outer garments, and wrapped a towel around His waist.

5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel that was around Him.
