4 So Jesus stood up from eating supper, took off his robe and wrapped a towel around his waist.5 He poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had wrapped around him.6 He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7 Jesus replied, “You won't realize what I'm doing for you now. But one day you'll understand.”

8 “No!” Peter protested. “You'll never wash my feet!”

Jesus replied, “If I don't wash you, you have no part with me.”

9 “Then, Lord, wash not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Simon Peter exclaimed.

10 Jesus responded, “Those who have had a bath only need to wash their feet and then they're clean all over. You are clean—but not all of you.”11 For he knew who was betraying him. That's why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
