The Meaning of the Example

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.

17

If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

18

I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

19

I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am He.

20

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me.”
