New Testament

John 13:9-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. "Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet! Wash my hands and my head too!"

10. Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs to wash only his feet. The rest of his body is clean. And you are clean. But not all of you are."

11. Jesus knew who was going to hand him over to his enemies. That was why he said not every one was clean.

12. When Jesus finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes. Then he returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them.

13. "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You are right. That is what I am.

14. I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. So you also should wash one another's feet.

15. I have given you an example. You should do as I have done for you.
