Day 71: Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet and Predicts His Betrayal

Welcome to Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience. On Day 71, we cover a significant moment before the Passover, where Jesus knew His time to leave the world and return to His Father had come. In a powerful act of humility, Jesus washes His disciples' feet, teaching them the importance of service and love. During the meal, He predicts His betrayal by Judas Iscariot. Jesus then provides profound teachings on love, unity, and the promise of the Holy Spirit, addressing questions from His disciples and preparing them for His imminent departure and the coming of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes the need for them to remain in His love and commandments, assuring them of His victory over the world. The episode concludes with Jesus' prayer for His disciples and all future believers, asking for their unity and protection.

3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Messiah instead of your regular chapter-and-verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions.
