Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

13 Now ^(A)before ^(B)the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that ^(C)his hour had come ^(D)to depart out of this world to the Father, ^(E)having loved ^(F)his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. ²During supper, when ^(G)the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, ³Jesus, knowing ^(H)that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that ^(I)he had come from God and ^(J)was going back to God, ⁴rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, ^(K)tied it around his waist. ⁵Then he ^(L)poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. ⁶He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” ⁷^(M)Jesus answered him, “What I am doing ^(N)you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” ⁸^(O)Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, ^(P)“If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” ⁹Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” ¹⁰Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, ^(Q)except for his feet,^[a] but is completely clean. And ^(R)you^[b] are clean, ^(S)but not every one of you.” ¹¹^(T)For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

I Am the True Vine

15 “I am the ^(A)true vine, and my Father is ^(B)the vinedresser. ²^(C)Every branch in me that does not bear fruit ^(D)he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, ^(E)that it may bear more fruit. ³Already ^(F)you are clean ^(G)because of the word that I have spoken to you. ⁴^(H)Abide ^(I)in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. ⁵I am the vine; ^(J)you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that ^(K)bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶If anyone does not abide in me, ^(L)he is thrown away like a branch and withers; ^(M)and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. ⁷If ^(N)you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ^(O)ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸^(P)By this my Father is glorified, that you ^(Q)bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. ⁹^(R)As the Father has loved me, ^(S)so have I loved you. Abide in my love. ¹⁰^(T)If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as ^(U)I have kept ^(V)my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
