Washing of the feet
The Lord Jesus,
when he had eaten with his disciples,
poured water into a basin
and began to wash their feet, saying:
"This example I leave you". (See John 13:4,5,15)
"Lord, do you wash my feet?"
Jesus said to him:
"If I do not wash your feet
You can have no part with me."
So he came to Simon Peter,
Who said to him:
"Lord, do you wash my feet?"
"Now you do not know what I am doing,
but later you will understand.
Lord, do you wash my feet?" (John 13:6-8)
"If I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed you feet,
then surely you must wash one another's feet." (John 13:14)
"If there is this love among you,
all will know that you are my disciples."
Jesus said to his disciples:
"If there is this love among you,
all will know that you are my disciples." (John 13:35)
"I give you a new commandment:
love one another as I have loved you", says the Lord. (John 13:34)
"Faith, hope, and love,
let these endure among you;
and the greatest of these is love." (I Corinthians 13:13)
