Jesus and His friends were eating supper. Their feet were dusty and dirty from walking.
Jesus got up, wrapped a towel around Himself, and washed His friends' feet! That was a servant's job.
Peter said, “No, Lord! You can't wash my feet!” Jesus said, “I'm showing you how to serve each other. Do what I did.”
