John 13:13

Verse 13 of 38. The 13th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

10Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

11For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”

12So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

13You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.

14If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.

16Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
