1
Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2
And when supper was done (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him),
3
Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands and that he came from God and goeth to God,
4
He riseth from supper and layeth aside his garments and, having taken a towel, girded himself.
5
After that, he putteth water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6
He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7
Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8
Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet, Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.
