John 13:6-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. And so He came to Shim‛on Kĕpha, and he said to Him, “Master, do You wash my feet?”

7. יהושע answered and said to him, “You do not know what I am doing now, but you shall know after this.”

8. Kĕpha said to Him, “By no means shall You wash my feet, ever!” יהושע answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”

9. Shim‛on Kĕpha said to Him, “Master, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

10. יהושע said to him, “He who has had a bath does not need to wash, except his feet, but is clean altogether. And you are clean, but not all of you.”

11. For He knew who would deliver Him up, so He said, “You are not all clean.”

12. So when He had washed their feet and taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

13. “You call me Teacher and Master, and you say well, for I am.

14. “Then if I, Master and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15. “For I gave you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

16. “Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is an emissary greater than he who sent him.
