John 13:5

In context

3Jesus, knowing that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4got up from the meal, laid aside his outer clothing, took a towel and tied it around his waist. 5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel around his waist. 6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will.”
