9. Simon Peter answered, “Lord, do not wash only my feet, then! Wash my hands and head, too!”
10. Jesus said, “Those who have had a bath are completely clean and do not have to wash themselves, except for their feet. All of you are clean — all except one.”
11. (Jesus already knew who was going to betray him; that is why he said, “All of you, except one, are clean.”)
12. After Jesus had washed their feet, he put his outer garment back on and returned to his place at the table. “Do you understand what I have just done to you?” he asked.
13. “You call me Teacher and Lord, and it is right that you do so, because that is what I am.
14. I, your Lord and Teacher, have just washed your feet. You, then, should wash one another's feet.
15. I have set an example for you, so that you will do just what I have done for you.
16. I am telling you the truth: slaves are never greater than their master, and messengers are never greater than the one who sent them.
17. Now that you know this truth, how happy you will be if you put it into practice!
18. “I am not talking about all of you; I know those I have chosen. But the scripture must come true that says, ‘The man who shared my food turned against me.’
19. I tell you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe that ‘I Am Who I Am.’
20. I am telling you the truth: whoever receives anyone I send receives me also; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.”
21. After Jesus had said this, he was deeply troubled and declared openly, “I am telling you the truth: one of you is going to betray me.”
22. The disciples looked at one another, completely puzzled about whom he meant.
23. One of the disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was sitting next to Jesus.
24. Simon Peter motioned to him and said, “Ask him whom he is talking about.”
