John 13:1-8 ▼

1 And before the Celebration of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour has come, that He may depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who [are] in the world—to the end He loved them.

2 And dinner having come, the Devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver Him up,

3 Jesus knowing that all things the Father has given to Him—into [His] hands, and that He came forth from God, and He goes to God,

4 rises from the dinner, and lays down His garments, and having taken a towel, He girded Himself;

5 afterward He puts water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of His disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which He was being girded.

6 He comes, therefore, to Simon Peter, and that one says to Him, “Lord, You—do You wash my feet?”

7 Jesus answered and said to him, “That which I do you have not known now, but you will know after these things”;

8 Peter says to Him, “You may not wash my feet—throughout the age.” Jesus answered him, “If I may not wash you, you have no part with Me”;
