put into the heart
of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him),
13:3. Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands
and that he came from God and goeth to God,
13:4. He riseth from supper and layeth aside his garments and, having
taken a towel, girded himself.
13:5. 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.
13:6. He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord,
dost thou wash my feet?
13:7. Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now;
but thou shalt know hereafter.
13:8. 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.
13:9. Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my
hands and my head.
13:10. Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his
feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.
13:11. For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said:
You are not all clean.
13:12. Then after he had washed their feet and taken his garments, being
set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?
13:13. You call me Master and Lord. And you say well: for so I am.
13:14. If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you
also ought to wash one another's feet.
13:15. For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so
you do also.
13:16. Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his
lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
13:17. If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
13:18. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the
scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up
his heel against me,
13:19. At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall
come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
13:20. Amen, amen, I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send
receiveth me: and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
13:21. When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and
he testified, and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you shall
betray me.
13:22. The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom
he spoke.
13:23. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom
Jesus loved.
