Jesus
knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he
was come from God, and went to God; He riseth from supper, and
laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After
that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples'
feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.Then
cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash
my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest
not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt
never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no
part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but
also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth
not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean,
but not all.
For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all
clean.
