Maundy Thursday: Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet

"Then He poured water into the basin and began washing the disciples' 

 feet and wiping them with a towel which was tied around His waist.

When He came to Simon Peter, he said to Him, "Lord, are You

going to wash my feet?"  Jesus replied to him, "You do not 

realize what I am doing, but you will understand it later."

Peter said to Him, "You will never wash my feet!"

Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me."

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord in that case wash not only

my feet but also my hands and my head!"

Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash 

his feet, and is completely clean. And you, My disciples, are clean,

but not all of you."  For He knew who was going to betray Him;

for that reason He said, "Not all of you are clean."

So when He washed their feet and put on His outer robe and reclined at

 the table again, He said to them, "Do you understand what I have done for you?

You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is who I am.

So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you ought to wash one

another's feet as well.  For I gave you this as an example, so that you

should do in turn as I did to you."
