    3Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going to God;

    4He rose from supper, laid aside his garments, took a towel, and girded himself.

    5After that, he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

    8Peter said to him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I do not 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, He who is washed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all.

    11For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, You are not all clean.

    13You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
