41 Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him. 42
Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in him, but because of
the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the
synagogue; 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of
God.
44 Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in me,
believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And he who sees me sees
him who sent me. 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever
believes in me should not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my
words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to
judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects me and does not
receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will condemn
him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority; but
the Father who sent me gave me a command, what to say and what to
speak. 50 And I know that his command is eternal life. Whatever I say,
therefore, I say just as the Father has told me."

1 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his
hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his
own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 And during
supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot,
Simon's son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all
things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to
God, 4 rose from supper, laid aside his garments, took a towel and girded
himself. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash the
disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
6 Then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, "Lord, are you
going to wash my feet?" 7 Jesus answered him, "You do not realize now
what I am doing, but later you will understand." 8 Peter said to him, "You
shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you
have no part with me." 9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet
only, but also my hands and my head!" 10 Jesus said to him, "He who has
bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are
clean, but not every one of you." 11 For he knew who was to betray him;
that was why he said, "You are not all clean."
12 When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and
returned to his place, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to
you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to
wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you
should do as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is
not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent
him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18 I am
not speaking of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that the
