John 13:6-10

Contemporary English Version

⁶ But when he came to Simon Peter, this disciple asked, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

⁷ Jesus answered, “You don't really know what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

⁸ “You will never wash my feet!” Peter replied.

“If I don't wash you,” Jesus told him, “you don't really belong to me.”

⁹ Peter said, “Lord, don't wash just my feet. Wash my hands and my head.”

¹⁰ Jesus answered, “People who have bathed and are clean all over need to wash just their feet. And you, my disciples, are clean, except for one of you.”
