John 13:12-20 (ESV)

The Example of the Messiah

12: When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you?

13: You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.

14: If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15: For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.

16: Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

The Testimony of the Betrayer

17: If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

18: I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’

19: I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.

20: Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”
