John 13:13-20
English Standard Version
13 (A)You call me (B)Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, (C)you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, (D)that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, (E)a servant[a] is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, (F)blessed are you if you do them. 18 (G)I am not speaking of all of you; I know (H)whom I have chosen. But (I)the Scripture will be fulfilled,[b] (J)‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 (K)I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, (L)whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

John 13:13-20
New International Version
13 “You call me ‘Teacher’(A) and ‘Lord,’(B) and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.(C) 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.(D) 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master,(E) nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.(F)
Jesus Predicts His Betrayal
18 “I am not referring to all of you;(G) I know those I have chosen.(H) But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture:(I) ‘He who shared my bread(J) has turned[a](K) against me.’[b](L)
19 “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe(M) that I am who I am.(N) 20 Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”(O)
