4 is rising from dinner and is laying down His garments, and, getting a cloth, He girds Himself."
5 Thereafter He is draining water into the basin, and begins washing the feet of the disciples and wiping them off with the cloth with which He was girded."
6 He is coming, then, to Simon Peter. And he is saying to Him, "Lord, Thou art washing my feet!"
7 Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you are not aware at present, yet you will know after these things."
8 Peter is saying to Him, "Under no circumstances shouldst Thou be washing my feet for the eon!Jesus answered him, "If ever I should not be washing you, you are having no part with Me."
9 Simon Peter is saying to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but the hands also and the head!"
10 Jesus is saying to him, "He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but is wholly clean. And you are clean, but not all."
11 For He was aware who is giving Him up. Therefore He said that "Not all of you are clean."
12 When, then, He washes their feet, and took His garments and leans back again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
13 You are shouting to Me 'Teacher!' and 'Lord!' and you are saying ideally, for I am."
14 If, then, I, the Lord and the Teacher, wash your feet, you also ought to be washing one another's feet."
15 For an example have I given you, that, according as I do to you, you also may be doing."
16 Verily, verily, I am saying to you, A slave is not greater than his lord, neither is an apostle greater than He Who sends him."
17 If you are aware of these things, happy are you if you should be doing them!"
