13:3耶稣知道父已将万有交在他手里，且知道自己是从 神出来的，又要归到 神那里去，
13:4就离席站起来脱了衣服，拿一条手巾束腰，
13:5随后把水倒在盆里，就洗门徒的脚，并用自己所束的手巾擦干。
13:6挨到西门彼得，彼得对他说：“主啊，你洗我的脚吗？”
13:7耶稣回答说：“我所做的，你如今不知道，后来必明白。”
13:8彼得说：“你永不可洗我的脚！”耶稣说：“我若不洗你，你就与我无分了。”
13:9西门彼得说：“主啊，不但我的脚，连手和头也要洗！。”
13:10耶稣说：“凡洗过澡的人，只要把脚一洗，全身就干净了；你们是干净的，然而不都是干净的。”
13:11耶稣原知道要卖他的是谁，所以说：“你们不都是干净的。”
13:12耶稣洗完了他们的脚，就穿上衣服，又坐下，对他们说：“我向你们所做的，你们明白吗？
13:13你们称呼我夫子，称呼我主，你们说的不错，我本来是。
13:14我是你们的主，你们的夫子，尚且洗你们的脚，你们也当彼此洗脚。
13:15我给你们作了榜样，叫你们照著我向你们所做的去做。
13:16我实实在在地告诉你们：仆人不能大于主人，差人也不能大于差他的人。
13:17你们既知道这事，若是去行就有福了。
3Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;
4so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
8“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
9“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
10Jesus answered, “A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”
11For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
12When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.
13“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.
14Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
15I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
16I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
