13:1

It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.

13:2

The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus.

13:3

Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;

13:4

so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

13:5

After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

13:6

He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

13:7

Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."

13:8

"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet."
      Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."

13:9

"Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"

13:10

Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you."

13:11

For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.

26:37

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

26:38

Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."

20:20

Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.

20:21

"What is it you want?" he asked. She said, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom."

20:22

"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" "We can," they answered.

20:23

Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."

20:24

When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.

21:16

Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."

1:12

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.

5:5

Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

3:5

he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

3:6

whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,

3:5

Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

15:3

You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

1:7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
