“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.” For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.” – John 13:10-15
I, your Lord and Master,
now become your servant.
I who made the moon and stars
will kneel to wash your feet.
This is My commandment:
to love as I have loved you.
Kneel to wash each other’s feet
as I have done for you.
All the world will know
you are My disciples
by the love that you offer,
the kindness you show.
You have heard the voice of God
in the words that I have spoken.
You beheld Heaven’s glory
and have seen the face of God.
I, your Lord and Master,
now become your servant.
I who made the moon and stars
will kneel to wash your feet.
This is My commandment:
to love as I have loved you.
Kneel to wash each other’s feet
as I have done for you.
