1
And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who [are] in the world -- to the end he loved them.
2
And supper being come, the devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,
3
Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him -- into [his] hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,
4
doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;
5
afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.
6
He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, `Sir, thou -- dost thou wash my feet?'
7
Jesus answered and said to him, `That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'
8
Peter saith to him, `Thou mayest not wash my feet -- to the age.' Jesus answered him, `If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;'
9
Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'
10
Jesus saith to him, `He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'
11
for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, `Ye are not all clean.'
12
When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, `Do ye know what I have done to you?
13
ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;
14
if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher -- ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15
`For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;
16
verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;
17
if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;
18
not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.
19
`From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he];
20
verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'
21
These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'
22
the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.
