mnt - John:13:1-17

mnt@John:13:1 @ Now just before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come when he should leave this world to go to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, showed forth his love to the end.;38 "Your life you will lay down for me? In solemn truth I tell you, the cock shall not crow before you have three times disowned me."

mnt@John:13:2 @ So while supper was proceeding, and the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,

mnt@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given everything into his hands, and that he was come from God,

mnt@John:13:4 @ and was now going to God, rose from supper, laid aside his upper garments, and took a towel and girded himself.

mnt@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself.

mnt@John:13:6 @ Then he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

mnt@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand it later."

mnt@John:13:8 @ Peter answered, "No, never shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," said Jesus, "you have no part in me."

mnt@John:13:9 @ "Lord," said Simon Peter, "not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."

mnt@John:13:10 @ Jesus said. "He who has bathed needs only to have his feet washed, and he is altogether clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

mnt@John:13:11 @ (For he knew who should betray him, for that reason he said that they were not every one of them clean.)

mnt@John:13:12 @ So after he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments again, and taken his place, he said to them.

mnt@John:13:13 @ "Do you understand what I have been doing to you? You call me Teacher and Master,and you say well, for such I am.

mnt@John:13:14 @ If then I have washed your feet, I the Master and the Teacher, you also ought to wash one anothers feet,

mnt@John:13:15 @ for I have given you an example, that you also should do what I have done to you.

mnt@John:13:16 @ In solemn truth I tell you that a slave is not greater than his master, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sends him.

mnt@John:13:17 @ If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
