João 13

1 And before the Celebration of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour has come, that He may depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who [are] in the world—to the end He loved them. 2 And dinner having come, the Devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver Him up, 3 Jesus knowing that all things the Father has given to Him—into [His] hands, and that He came forth from God, and He goes to God, 4 rises from the dinner, and lays down His garments, and having taken a towel, He girded Himself; 5 afterward He puts water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of His disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which He was being girded. 6 He comes, therefore, to Simon Peter, and that one says to Him, "Lord, You—do You wash my feet?" 7 Jesus answered and said to him, "That which I do you have not known now, but you will know after these things"; 8 Peter says to Him, "You may not wash my feet—throughout the age." Jesus answered him, "If I may not wash you, you have no part with Me"; 9 Simon Peter says to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head." 10 Jesus says to him, "He who has been bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and you are clean, but not all"; 11 for He knew him who is delivering Him up; because of this He said, "You are not all clean." 12 When, therefore, He washed their feet, and took His garments, having reclined again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call Me the Teacher and the LORD, and you say well, for I am; 14 if then I washed your feet—the LORD and the Teacher—you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I gave to you an example, that, according as I did to you, you also may do; 16 truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him; 17 if you have known these things, you are blessed if you may do them;
