John 13:4-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

4. So He got up from supper, laid aside His robe, took a towel, and tied it around Himself.

5. Next, He poured water into a basin and began to wash His disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around Him.

6. He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet? ”

7. Jesus answered him, “What I’m doing you don’t understand now, but afterward you will know.”

8. “You will never wash my feet — ever! ” Peter said.Jesus replied, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with Me.”

9. Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”

10. “One who has bathed,” Jesus told him, “doesn’t need to wash anything except his feet, but he is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

11. For He knew who would betray Him. This is why He said, “You are not all clean.”

12. When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His robe, He reclined again and said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you?

13. You call Me Teacher and Lord. This is well said, for I am.
