John 13:12-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. And so, after he washed their feet and received his vestments, when he had sat down at table again, he said to them: "Do you know what I have done for you?

13. You call me Teacher and Lord, and you speak well: for so I am.

14. Therefore, if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another.

15. For I have given you an example, so that just as I have done for you, so also should you do.

16. Amen, amen, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his Lord, and the apostle is not greater than he who sent him.

17. If you understand this, you shall be blessed if you will do it.

18. I am not speaking about all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But this is so that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with me shall lift up his heel against me.'

19. And I tell you this now, before it happens, so that when it has happened, you may believe that I am.

20. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives anyone whom I send, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives him who sent me."

21. When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit. And he bore witness by saying: "Amen, amen, I say to you, that one among you shall betray me."

22. Therefore, the disciples looked around at one another, uncertain about whom he spoke.

23. And leaning against the bosom of Jesus was one of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved.

24. Therefore, Simon Peter motioned to this one and said to him, "Who is it that he is speaking about?"
