John 13:4

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet

3Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.4So He got up from the supper, laid aside His outer garments, and wrapped a towel around His waist.5After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel that was around Him.
