9. Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, [wash] not only my feet, but my hands and my head too!
10. Jesus said to him, Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you [My disciples] are clean, but not all of you.
11. For He knew who was going to betray Him; that was the reason He said, Not all of you are clean.
12. So when He had finished washing their feet and had put on His garments and had sat down again, He said to them, Do you understand what I have done to you?
13. You call Me the Teacher (Master) and the Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is what I am.
14. If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought [it is your duty, you are under obligation, you owe it] to wash one another's feet.
15. For I have given you this as an example, so that you should do [in your turn] what I have done to you.
16. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, A servant is not greater than his master, and no one who is sent is superior to the one who sent him.
17. If you know these things, blessed and happy and to be envied are you if you practice them [if you act accordingly and really do them].
18. I am not speaking of and I do not mean all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats My bread with Me has raised up his heel against Me. [Ps. 41:9.]
19. I tell you this now before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may be persuaded and believe that I am He [Who I say I am–the Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah].
20. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who receives and welcomes and takes into his heart any messenger of Mine receives Me [in just that way]; and he who receives and welcomes and takes Me into his heart receives Him Who sent Me [in that same way].
21. After Jesus had said these things, He was troubled (disturbed, agitated) in spirit and said, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, one of you will deliver Me up [one of you will be false to Me and betray Me]!
22. The disciples kept looking at one another, puzzled as to whom He could mean.
23. One of His disciples, whom Jesus loved [whom He esteemed and delighted in], was reclining [next to Him] on Jesus' bosom.
