Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

13 Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.^(A)

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he had come from God and was going to God,^(A)

²³ Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.^(A)

¹⁹ We love^[a] because he first loved us.

²⁸ I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.”^(A)

³⁴ I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.^(A)

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ²⁶ in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word,

⁸ He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

⁹ I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours.^{(A) 10} All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I have been glorified in them.^{(B) 11} And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.^(C)
