Now before the Feast of ^(a)the Passover, Jesus knowing that ^(b)His hour had come that He would depart out of this world ^(c)to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them ^[a]to the end.

During supper, ^(d)the devil having already put into the heart of ^(e)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

Jesus, ^(f)knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that ^(g)He had come forth from God and was going back to God,

*got up from supper, and *laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He ^(h)girded Himself.

Then He *poured water into the basin, and began to ⁽ⁱ⁾wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand ^(j)hereafter."

Peter *said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "^(k)If I do not wash you, ^(l)you have no part with Me."

Simon Peter *said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."

Jesus *said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ^(m)you are clean, but not all of you."

For ⁽ⁿ⁾He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean."
