Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

Then He *poured water into the basin, and began (A)washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself. So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, You are washing my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not realize right now, but you will understand (B)later.” Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, (C)If I do not wash you, (D)you have no [a]place with Me.” Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; otherwise he is completely clean. And (E)you are clean—but [b]not all of you.” 11 For (F)He knew the one who was betraying Him; it was for this reason that He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
