³ Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power,^(A) and that he had come from God^(B) and was returning to God; ⁴ so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.^{(C) 5} After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet,^(D) drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
