John 13:5-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. Then he poured water into a bowl and began to wash the followers’ feet. He dried them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

6. Jesus came to Simon Peter. But Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7. Jesus answered, “You don’t understand what I am doing now. But you will understand later.”

8. Peter said, “No! You will never wash my feet.”Jesus answered, “If I don’t wash your feet, then you are not one of my people.”

9. Simon Peter answered, “Lord, after you wash my feet, wash my hands and my head, too!”

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.
