Hebrews 2:9-18
English Standard Version
9 But we see him (A)who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, (B)crowned with glory and honor (C)because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might (D)taste death (E)for everyone.
10 For it (F)was fitting that he, (G)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (H)to glory, should make the (I)founder of their salvation (J)perfect through suffering. 11 For (K)he who sanctifies and (L)those who are sanctified (M)all have one source.[a] That is why he is not ashamed to call them (N)brothers,[b] 12 saying,
(O)“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the (P)congregation I will sing your praise.”
13 And again,
(Q)“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise (T)partook of the same things, that (U)through death he might (V)destroy (W)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who (X)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he (Y)helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had (Z)to be made like his brothers in every respect, (AA)so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest (AB)in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered (AC)when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

John 13:3-14
English Standard Version
3 Jesus, knowing (A)that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that (B)he had come from God and (C)was going back to God, 4 rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, (D)tied it around his waist. 5 Then he (E)poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7 (F)Jesus answered him, “What I am doing (G)you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8 (H)Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, (I)“If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, (J)except for his feet,[a] but is completely clean. And (K)you[b] are clean, (L)but not every one of you.” 11 (M)For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 When he had washed their feet and (N)put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, (O)“Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 (P)You call me (Q)Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, (R)you also ought to wash one another's feet.
