* Now before the feast of the passover , when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father , having loved his own which were in the world , he loved them unto the end . * And supper being ended , the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot , Simon 's son , to betray him ; * Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands , and that he was come from God , and went to God ; * He riseth from supper , and laid aside his garments ; and took a towel , and girded himself . * After that he poureth water into a bason , and began to wash the disciples ' feet , and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded . * Then cometh he to Simon Peter : and Peter saith unto him , Lord , dost thou wash my feet ? * Jesus answered and said unto him , What I do thou knowest not now ; but thou shalt know hereafter . * Peter saith unto him , Thou shalt never wash my feet . Jesus answered him , If I wash thee not , thou hast no part with me . * Simon Peter saith unto him , Lord , not my feet only , but also my hands and my head . * Jesus saith to him , He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet , but is clean every whit : and ye are clean , but not all . * For he knew who should betray him ; therefore said he , Ye are not all clean . * So after he had washed their feet , and had taken his garments , and was set down again , he said unto them , Know ye what I have done to you ? * Ye call me Master and Lord : and ye say well ; for so I am . * If I then , your Lord and Master , have washed your feet ; ye also ought to wash one another 's feet . * For I have given you an example , that ye should do as I have done to you . * Verily , verily , I say unto you , The servant is not greater than his lord ; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him . * If ye know these things , happy are ye if ye do them .
