"Jesus Washes His
12 Disciples' Feet"
(The Washing of
the Feet)

Jesus knew that the Father had put all things
under his power, and that he had come from
God and was returning to God; so he got up
from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and
wrapped a towel around his waist. After that,
he poured water into a basin and began to
wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the
towel that was wrapped around him... (Then
Jesus said) "I have set you an example that
you should do as I have done for you. I tell you
the truth, no servant is greater than master,
nor is a messenger greater than the one who
sent him. Now that you know these things,
you will be blessed if you do them." (John 13:
3-17)
