1It was now just before the Passover Feast, and Jesus knew that His hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the very end.
2The evening meal was underway, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
3Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.
4So He got up from the supper, laid aside His outer garments, and wrapped a towel around His waist.
5After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel that was around Him.
...
15I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you.
16Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
— John 13:1-5,15-17
