John 13:1-15
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father.
He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.
The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over.
So, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him,
“Master, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later.” Peter said to him,
He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.

Jesus answered and said to him,
“What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later.” Peter said to him,
“You will never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered him,
“Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.”
Simon Peter said to him,
“Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.” Jesus said to him,
“Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all.”
For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
Jesus answered him,
“Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.”
Simon Peter said to him,
“Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.” Jesus said to him,

For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them,
“Do you realize what I have done for you?
You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet.I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”

Hinugasan ni Jesus ang mga Paa ng Kaniyang mga Alagad.
Juan 13:1-15
At nang matapos ang hapunan ay inilagay nga ng diyablo sa puso ni Judas na ipagkanulo si Jesus. Si Judas ay taga-Keriot na anak ni Simon. Alam ni Jesus na ibinigay na ng Ama ang lahat ng mga bagay sa kaniyang mga kamay. Siya ay galing sa Diyos at babalik sa Diyos. Kaya nga, siya ay tumindig mula sa paghahapunan at itinabi ang kaniyang mga kasuotan. Siya ay kumuha ng tuwalya at binigkisan ang kaniyang sarili. Pagkatapos, nagbuhos siya ng tubig sa palanggana. Sinimulan niyang hugasan ang mga paa ng mga alagad. Pinunasan niya ang kanilang mga paa ng tuwalyang nakabigkis sa kaniya.
Lumapit siya kay Simon Pedro. Sinabi ni Pedro sa kaniya: Panginoon, huhugasan mo ba ang aking mga paa?
Si Jesus ay sumagot at sinabi sa kaniya: Ang aking ginagawa ay hindi mo nababatid sa ngayon, ngunit mauunawaan mo rin ito pagkatapos.
Tumugon si Pedro sa kaniya: Kailanman ay hindi mo huhugasan ang aking mga paa.
Sumagot si Jesus sa kaniya: Kung hindi kita huhugasan, wala kang bahagi sa akin.
Sinabi ni Simon Pedro sa kaniya: Panginoon, hindi lamang ang aking mga paa kundi gayundin ang aking mga kamay at ulo.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Ang taong napaliguan na ay ang paa na lang ang kailangang hugasan. Siya ay lubos nang malinis. Kayo ay malilinis na bagamat hindi lahat. Ito ay sapagkat alam niya kung sino ang magkakanulo sa kaniya. Ito ang dahilan kaya niya sinabi: Hindi ang lahat sa inyo ay malinis.
Pagkahugas nga niya ng kanilang mga paa at muling makapagsuot ng kaniyang kasuotan, siya ay umupo. Sinabi niya sa kanila: Naunawaan ba ninyo kung ano ang ginawa ko sa inyo? Tinatawag ninyo akong Guro at Panginoon. Tama ang sinasabi ninyo sapagkat ako nga. Yamang ako na inyong Panginoon at Guro ay naghugas ng inyong mga paa, dapat din nga kayong maghugasan ng mga paa ng isa't isa.Binigyan ko kayo ng halimbawa upang inyong gawin ang tulad ng ginawa ko sa inyo.

In what way have we washed other's feet?
In what way have we served others without expecting anything in return? Do we serve others because we expect something in return?
In the field of selling where I spent almost half of my life, there's an old saying, "I'll scratch your back so you'll scratch mine."
It's always something for anything. You do this and I'll do that or If you give me this, I'll give you that. People around the world, big business conglomerates, multi-national companies negotiates this way and I think it's inevitable in the business world.
But how about when we are serving God? Do we also apply the same way? I'm sure God will say No No No! Because when you serve in God's company, you must not expect payment, praises or thank you's.
You just have to believe that our God will take care of all our needs whether financial, physical, relational and everything under the sun that money can't buy. But there's more, when you are consistent on doing His will, you get a BIG, HEFTY BONUS....... the eternal life with His glory in heaven.
God bless us all more than we can ever imagine.
