Doctrine and Covenants D&C 88:141
"he is to gird himself according to the pattern given in the thirteenth chapter of John's testimony concerning me"
New Testament John 13:4
"He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself."

D&C 88:141 names its source by chapter — "the thirteenth chapter of John's testimony concerning me" — and specifies the act it points at, girding. John 13:4 is the verse in that chapter where the girding stands. The D&C does not reproduce John's wording; the shared element is the named chapter and the act. Hosted on the school-of-the-prophets page since the 2026-08-11 editorial review, which resolved the earlier open host question.
