Footwashing passage is described in which verses?

• A. John 3:16
• B. John 13:1-17
• C. John 1:1-5
• D. John 20:19

Answer: (B)

Footwashing is described in John 13:1-17. In this scene at the Last Supper, Jesus rises from the meal, takes on the role of a servant, and washes the disciples’ feet, then teaches that they should imitate this humble act of service for one another. He emphasizes that leadership in his kingdom means serving others, not lording it over them, and he blesses those who follow his example. Peter’s initial objection highlights how surprising the act was, but Jesus uses it to convey that spiritual cleansing and daily obedience flow from humble service. The surrounding verses also clarify that those who have already been bathed need only their feet, reinforcing the link between cleansing, fellowship, and practical love. The other cited passages address different topics—belief and eternal life, the Word, and the resurrection—so they don’t describe the footwashing event.
