John 13:6-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ He came to Simon Peter. But Peter said to him, “Lord, you should not wash my feet.”

⁷ Jesus answered, “You don’t know what I am doing now. But later you will understand.”

⁸ Peter said, “No! You will never wash my feet.”

Jesus answered, “If I don’t wash your feet, you are not one of my people.”

⁹ Simon Peter said, “Lord, after you wash my feet, wash my hands and my head too!”

¹⁰ Jesus said, “After a person has a bath, his whole body is clean. He needs only to wash his feet. And you are clean, but not all of you.” ¹¹ Jesus knew who would hand him over to his enemies. That is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
