Primary Verses:
-
John 13:4-15
-
"He riseth from supper, and laid
aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded
himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and
began to wash the
disciples' feet, and to wipe them with
the towel wherewith he was girded. Then cometh he to
Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou
wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I
do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet.
Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no
part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my
feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith
to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his
feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not
all. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said
he, Ye are not all clean. So after he had washed their
feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down
again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to
you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for
so I am. If I then,
your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also
ought to wash one another's feet. For I
have given you an example, that ye should do as I have
done to you."
