John 13:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His outer garments, He reclined with them again and asked, “Do you know what I have done for you?

13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, because I am.

14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.

15 I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you.

16 Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
