'It was almost time for the Jewish Passover Feast. Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and go back to the Father. He had always loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them all the way to the end. Jesus and his followers were at the evening meal. The devil had already persuaded Judas Iscariot to turn against Jesus. (Judas was the son of Simon.) Jesus knew that the Father had given him power over everything. He also knew that he had come from God and was going back to God. So during the meal Jesus stood up and took off his outer clothing. Taking a towel, he wrapped it around his waist. Then he poured water into a bowl and began to wash the followers’ feet. He dried them with the towel that was wrapped around him. Jesus came to Simon Peter. But Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered, “You don’t understand what I am doing now. But you will understand later.”' John 13:1-7

逾越節以前，耶穌知道自己離世歸父的時候到了。他既然愛世間屬自己的人，就愛他們到底。 吃晚飯的時候，魔鬼已將賣耶穌的意思放在 西門 的兒子 加略 人 猶大 心裏。 耶穌知道父已將萬有交在他手裏，且知道自己是從神出來的，又要歸到神那裏去， 隨後把水倒在盆裏，就洗門徒的腳，並用自己所束的手巾擦乾。 耶穌回答說：「我所做的，你如今不知道，後來必明白。」 ' 約翰福音 13:1-3,5,7
