Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.

“If you love me, keep my commands.

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

-
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.
-
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
