Spoke to 3 people groups:

1. Spoke to the Crowds
2. Spoke to the Religious
3. Spoke to the Disciples
   John 13:1–13 (NKJV)
   Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come
   that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who
   were in the world, He loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the
   devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray
   Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that
   He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside
   His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into
   a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel
   with which He was girded. Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him,
   “Lord, are You washing my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am
   doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.” Peter said to
   Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you,
   you have no part with Me.” Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only,
   but also my hands and my head!” Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs
   only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of
   you.” For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all
   clean.” So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down
   again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me
   Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
   Life is Relationships, the Rest is Just DETAILS…
   We is Always better than ME!
   We are Better Together!
   John 15:15 (NKJV)
   No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is
   doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I
   have made known to you.

5 Benefits of Partnership:

   John 13:12–15 (NKJV)
   So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He
   said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and
   Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have
   washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given
   you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

   bear fruit unless you are joined with me. “I am the Vine, you are the branches.
   When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic,
   the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing.
