12 After Jesus had washed his disciples' feet and had put his outer garment back on, he sat down again. Then he said:Do you understand what I have done?
13 You call me your teacher and Lord, and you should, because that is who I am.
14 And if your Lord and teacher has washed your feet, you should do the same for each other.
15 I have set the example, and you should do for each other exactly what I have done for you.
16 I tell you for certain that servants are not greater than their master, and messengers are not greater than the one who sent them.
17 You know these things, and God will bless you, if you do them.
18 I am not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But what the Scriptures say must come true. And they say, “The man who ate with me has turned against me!”
