New Testament

John 13:7-14 New Century Version (NCV)

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

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

9. Simon Peter answered, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but 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, and that is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

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

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

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