You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. | Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. |
And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. | If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. |
|
I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message. | Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. |
I tell you the truth, anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who sent me. | Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. |
So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. | A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. |
Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. | By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. |
