3. Jesus knew that he had come from God and would go back to God. He also knew that the Father had given him complete power.
4. So during the meal Jesus got up, removed his outer garment, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5. He put some water into a large bowl. Then he began washing his disciples' feet and drying them with the towel he was wearing.
6. But when he came to Simon Peter, that disciple asked, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7. Jesus answered, “You don't really know what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
8. “You will never wash my feet!” Peter replied.“If I don't wash you,” Jesus told him, “you don't really belong to me.”
9. Peter said, “Lord, don't wash just my feet. Wash my hands and my head.”
10. Jesus answered, “People who have bathed and are clean all over need to wash just their feet. And you, my disciples, are clean, except for one of you.”
