The Bible story

Supper being ended, Jesus rose from supper, "laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself," then poured water into a bason and began to wash the disciples’ feet. Peter said, "Thou shalt never wash my feet," but Jesus answered, "If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me." Then Jesus said, "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." Read the whole story in John 13:1–17 (KJV).

Memory verse: "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." (John 13:15, KJV). It is printed on every level.
