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.”

A New Commandment

³¹When he had gone out, Jesus said, ^(A)“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and ^(B)God is glorified in him. ³²If God is glorified in him, ^(C)God will also glorify him in himself, and ^(D)glorify him at once. ³³Little children, ^(E)yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just ^(F)as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ ³⁴^(G)A new commandment ^(H)I give to you, ^(I)that you love one another: ^(J)just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ³⁵^(K)By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
