“When he had "nished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place.
‘Do you understand what I have done for you?’ he asked them.

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love...
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love...
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”
