John 13:12-20

English Standard Version

¹² When he had washed their feet and ^(A)put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, ^(B)“Do you understand what I have done to you? ^13 (C)You call me ^(D)Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. ¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^(E)you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, ^(F)that you also should do just as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(G)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, ^(H)blessed are you if you do them. ^18 (I)I am not speaking of all of you; I know ^(J)whom I have chosen. But ^(K)the Scripture will be fulfilled,^{[b] (L)}‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ ^19 (M)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, ^(N)whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”
