John 13:16 in Context — John 13
14 Si donc je vous ai lavé les pieds, moi, le Seigneur et le Maître,vous devez aussi vous laver les pieds les uns aux autres;
15 car je vous ai donné un exemple, afin que vous fassiez comme je vous ai fait.
16 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis,le serviteur n’est pas plus grand que son seigneur, ni l’apôtre plus grand que celui qui l’a envoyé.
17 Si vous savez ces choses, vous êtes heureux, pourvu que vous les pratiquiez.
18 Ce n’est pas de vous tous que je parle; je connais ceux que j’ai choisis. Mais il faut que l’Écriture s’accomplisse: Celui qui mange avec moi le pain A levé son talon contre moi.
