14 If then, I, have washed your feet,—[I] The Lord, and, The Teacher, ye also, ought to wash, one another’s, feet;
15 For, an example, have I given you,—that, just as, I, did unto you, ye also, should be doing.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you—A servant is not greater than his lord, neither one sent forth greater than he that sent him.
17 If, these things, ye know, happy, are ye, if ye be doing them.
18 Not, concerning you all, am I speaking,—for, I, know of whom I made choice; but…that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled: He that feedeth on my bread, hath lifted up against me, his heel.
19 Henceforth, I tell you, before it cometh to pass,—that ye may believe, whensoever it doth come to pass, that, I, am he.
