9Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

11For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

13Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
