John 13:12 in context
10Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

14If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
