John 13:5-18

21st Century King James Version

⁵ After that He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded.

⁶ Then came He to Simon Peter, and Peter said unto Him, “Lord, dost Thou wash my feet?”

⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, “What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.”

⁸ Peter said unto Him, “Thou shalt never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with Me.”

⁹ Simon Peter said unto Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.”

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, “He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean every whit. And ye are clean, but not all.”

¹¹ (For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “Ye are not all clean.”)

¹² So after He had washed their feet and had taken His garments and had sat down again, He said unto them, “Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call Me Master and Lord; and ye say well, for so I am.

¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

¹⁶ Verily, verily I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord, neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

¹⁸ “I speak not of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He that eateth bread with Me hath lifted up his heel against Me.’
