In context
13 You call me Master and Lord. And you say well: for so I am.
14 If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.
16 Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
17 If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me,
19 At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
