… Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me. Simon Peter said to him, Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well. Jesus said to him, Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over. So you are clean, but not all. For he knew who would betray him. For this reason, he said, not all of you are clean. So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me teacher and master, and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. …
… If I do not wash you, you'll have no part with me. Peter says, Then, Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well. Jesus says, Those who've had a bath are already clean. They need only to wash their feet. And you all are clean. But not every one of you. Jesus had seen who was going to betray him. That's why he said, not all of you are clean. Now when he had washed their feet and put on his outer clothing and sat down again at the table, he said to them, Do you know what I've done for you? You call me the Teacher and the Lord, and rightly so, because that is what I am. So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash each other's feet, because I have given you a pattern to follow, so that just as I have done, you all should do for each other. If you see these things, you will be blessed when you do them. …

And so during supper, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, he got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. and then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples feet and to wipe them with the towel that he had tied around himself then he came to Simon Peter who said to him Lord are you going to wash my feet and Jesus answered him you do not know now what I am doing but later later you will understand and Peter said to him you will never wash my feet and Jesus answered well unless I wash you you have no share with me Simon Peter said to him well Lord not only then my feet but also my hands and my head and Jesus said to him one who has bathed does not need to wash except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you. …
