Love as I Have Loved You

Name Date

Read the Story

Before the Passover, Jesus knew His hour had come. He loved His own to the end. During supper, Jesus took off His outer robe and wrapped a towel around Himself. He poured water into a basin and began washing the disciples' feet. Peter did not want Him to. Jesus said, If I don't wash you, you have no part with Me.

Jesus said, You call me Teacher and Lord. You say so correctly, for so I am. If I washed your feet, you should wash each other's feet. He gave them an example to follow.

Jesus was troubled. He said one of them would betray Him. He gave a piece of bread to Judas, and Judas went out. It was night. Jesus said, A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Peter said he would die for Jesus. Jesus said Peter would deny Him three times before the rooster crowed.
