The ordinance of feet washing most forcibly illustrates the necessity of true humility. While the disciples were contending for the highest place, in the promised kingdom, Christ girded Himself, and performed the office of a servant by washing the feet of those who called Him Lord. {FLB 298.3}

Fodvaskningens forordning vil uden tvivl illustrere nødvendigheden af sand ydmyghed. Medens disciplene diskuterede om at få den højeste plads i det lovede rige, bandt Kristus om sig selv, og udførte en tjeners embede, ved at vaske deres fødder som kaldte Ham for Herre.
