New Testament

John 13:10-20 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. Jesus said, “After a person has had a bath, his whole body is clean. He needs only to wash his feet. And you men are clean, but not all of you.”

11. Jesus knew who would turn against him. That is why Jesus said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12. When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and sat down again. Jesus asked, “Do you understand what I have just done for you?

13. You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ And this is right, because that is what I am.

14. I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. So you also should wash each other’s feet.

15. I did this as an example for you. So you should do as I have done for you.

16. I tell you the truth. A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who sent him.

17. If you know these things, you will be happy if you do them.

18. “I am not talking about all of you. I know those I have chosen. But what the Scripture said must happen: ‘The man who ate at my table has now turned against me.’

19. I am telling you this now before it happens. Then when it happens you will believe that I am he.

20. I tell you the truth. Whoever accepts anyone I send also accepts me. And whoever accepts me also accepts the One who sent me.”
