John 13:12-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. So when he had washed their feet and taken his outer clothing and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you?

13. You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you speak correctly, for I am.

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

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

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

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

18. “I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, ‘The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’

19. From now on I am telling you before it happens, in order that when it happens you may believe that I am he.

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