ثُمَّ صَبَّ مَاءً فِي مِغْسَل، وَابْتَدَأَ يَغْسِلُ أَرْجُلَ التَّلاَمِيذِ وَيَمْسَحُهَا بِالْمِنْشَفَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ مُتَّزِرًا بِهَا.After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.John 13:5, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
