“ Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. And suppose the servant came in from the field. Will you say to him,‘ Come along now and sit down to eat’?No. Instead, you will say,‘ Prepare my supper. Get yourself ready. Wait on me while I eat and drink. Then after that you can eat and drink.’Will you thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?

After that, he poured water into a large bowl. Then he began to wash his disciples’ feet. He dried them with the towel that was wrapped around him.He came to Simon Peter.“ Lord,” Peter said to him,“ are you going to wash my feet?”Jesus replied,“ You don’t realize now what I am doing. But later you will understand.”“ No,” said Peter.“ You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered,“ Unless I wash you, you can’t share life with me.”“ Lord,” Simon Peter replied,“ not just my feet! Wash my hands and my head too!”Jesus answered,“ People who have had a bath need to wash only their feet. The rest of their body is clean. And you are clean. But not all of you are.”Jesus knew who was going to hand him over to his enemies. That was why he said not every one was clean.When Jesus finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes. Then he returned to his place.“ Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.“ You call me‘ Teacher’ and‘ Lord.’ You are right. That is what I am.I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. So you also should wash one another’s feet.I have given you an example. You should do as I have done for you.What I’m about to tell you is true. A slave is not more important than his master. And a messenger is not more important than the one who sends him.
