5Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciplesfeet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”

7Jesus answered him, You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”

8Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”

9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

10Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.” 11For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, You are not all clean.” 12So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? 13You call me, ‘TeacherandLord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am. 14If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one anothers feet. 15For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you. 16Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

Afterward you shall eat and drink’? 9Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
