John 13:12-13:22

Jesus Our Example

  1. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
  2. Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
  3. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
  4. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
  5. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
  6. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
  7. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
  8. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
  9. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
  10. When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
  11. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
