5 Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel which He had put round Him. 6 When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said, "are *you* going to wash my feet?" 7 "What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do not know, but afterwards you shall know." 8 "Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus, "you have no share with me." 9 "Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head." 10 "Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over. And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true of all of you." John 13:5-10, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
