You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. | You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. |
And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. | So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you 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. | Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. |
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. | Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives him who 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. | I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. |
Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. | By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. |
