John 13:12-17
New American Standard Bible
12 Then, when He had washed their feet, and (A)taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you? 13 You call Me (B)‘Teacher’ and (C)‘Lord’; and [a]you are correct, for so I am. 14 So if I, (D)the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I gave you (E)an example, so that you also would do just as I did for you. 16 Truly, truly I say to you, (F)a slave is not greater than his master, nor is (G)[b]one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are (H)blessed if you do them.

John 13:12-17
International Standard Version
12 When Jesus[a] had washed their feet and put on his outer robe, he sat down again and told them, “Do you realize what I’ve done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right[b] because that is what I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you must also wash one another’s feet. 15 I’ve set an example for you, so that you may do as I have done to you. 16 Truly, I tell all of you[c] emphatically, a servant isn’t greater than his master, and a messenger isn’t greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you understand these things, how blessed you are if you put them into practice!
