    3Because Jesus knew that the Father had handed all things over to him, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

    4he got up from the meal, removed his outer clothes, took a towel and tied it around himself.

    5He poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel he had wrapped around himself.

    6Then he came to Simon Peter. Peter said to him,“Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

    7Jesus replied,“You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things.”

    8Peter said to him,“You will never wash my feet!” Jesus replied,“If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.”

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

    10Jesus replied,“The one who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not every one of you.”

    11(For Jesus knew the one who was going to betray him. For this reason he said,“Not every one of you is clean.”)

    12So when Jesus had washed their feet and put his outer clothing back on, he took his place at the table again and said to them,“Do you understand what I have done for you?

    13You call me‘Teacher’ and‘Lord,’ and do so correctly, for that is what I am.

    14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you too ought to wash one another’s feet.

    12My commandment is this– to love one another just as I have loved you.

    13No one has greater love than this– that one lays down his life for his friends.

    14You are my friends if you do what I command you.

    15I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.

    16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that remains, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

    17This I command you– to love one another.
