John 13:1-7

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

¹ Now _a before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that _b His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He _c loved them to the end. ² And ₁ supper being ended, _d the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him, ³ Jesus, knowing _e that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He _f had come from God and _g was going to God, ⁴ _h rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. ⁵ After 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. ⁶ Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, _i "Lord, are You washing my feet?" ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you _j do not understand now, _k but you will know after this."
