4 he rose up from the meal, and he set aside his vestments, and when he had received a towel, he wrapped it around himself.
5 Next he put water into a shallow bowl, and he began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he was wrapped.
6 And then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, 'Lord, would you wash my feet?'
7 Jesus responded and said to him: 'What I am doing, you do not now understand. But you shall understand it afterward.'
8 Peter said to him, 'You shall never wash my feet!' Jesus answered him, 'If I do not wash you, you will have no place with me.'
