  • Heb 2:9-9 : 9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. 10 For it was fitting for Him—for whom and through whom everything exists—to bring many sons to glory by making the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 Both the One who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one Father. That is why He is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying, 'I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing Your praise.' 13 And again, 'I will put my trust in Him.' And again, 'Here am I, and the children God has given Me.' 14 Since the children share in flesh and blood, He too likewise partook of the same, so that through death He might destroy the one who has the power of death—that is, the devil. 15 and might free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16 For surely it is not angels He helps, but He helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest in service to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because He Himself has suffered when tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

Jesus answered, 'If I do not wash you, you have no share with Me.' 9 Simon Peter said to Him, 'Lord, not only my feet but also my hands and my head!' 10 Jesus said to him, 'Whoever has bathed needs only to wash their feet, but is otherwise completely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.' 11 For He knew who was going to betray Him, and that is why He said, 'Not all of you are clean.' 12 When He had washed their feet, put on His outer clothing, and reclined again, He said to them, 'Do you understand what I have done for you?' 13 'You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, because I am.' 14 If I, then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
