Now (
note :)
Christ is as sure of the victory as he is of the combat which was at hand ,
and by using the sign of washing the feet ,
gives by this an example in part of singular modesty ,
and his great love toward his apostles in this notable act ,
being likely to depart very shortly from them :
and he partly witnesses unto them that it is he alone who washes away the filth of his people ,
and sanctifies them little by little in their time and season .(:
note )
before the feast of the passover ,
when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father ,
having loved his Those of his household ,
that is ,
his saints .
own which were in the world ,
he loved them unto the end .
*
And when supper was done (
and that the deuill had now put in the heart of Iudas Iscariot ,
Simons sonne ,
to betray him )
*
Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his (

Into his power .(:
note )
hands ,
and that he was come from God ,
and went to God ;
*
He (
note :)
In that he is said to rise ,
it argues that there was a space of time between the ceremony of the passover and this washing of feet ,
at which time it seems that the Lord '
s supper was instituted .(:
note )
riseth from supper ,
and laid aside his garments ;
and took a towel ,
and girded himself .
*
After that ,
hee powred water into a basen ,
and began to wash the disciples feete ,
and to wipe them with the towell ,
wherewith he was girded .
*
Then came he to Simon Peter ,
who sayd to him ,
Lord ,
doest thou wash my feete ?
*
Iesus answered and sayd vnto him ,
What I doe ,
thou knowest not nowe :
but thou shalt knowe it hereafter .
*
Peter saith unto him ,
Thou shalt never wash my feet .
Jesus answered him ,
If I wash thee not ,
thou hast (
note :)
Unless you allow me to wash you ,
you will have no part in the kingdom of heaven .(:
note )
no part with me .
*
Simon Peter sayd vnto him ,
Lord ,
not my feete onely ,
but also the hands and the head .
*
Iesus sayd to him ,
He that is washed ,
needeth not ,
saue to wash his feete ,
but is cleane euery whit :
and ye are cleane ,
but not all .
*
For hee knewe who should betray him :
therefore sayd he ,
Ye are not all cleane .
*
So after he had washed their feete ,
and had taken his garments ,
and was set downe againe ,
he sayd vnto them ,
Knowe ye what I haue done to you ?
*
Ye call me Master ,
and Lorde ,
and ye say well :
for so am I .
*
If I then your Lorde ,
and Master ,
haue washed your feete ,
ye also ought to wash one an others feete .
*
For I haue giuen you an example ,
that ye should doe ,
euen as I haue done to you .
*
Verely ,
verely I say vnto you ,
The seruant is not greater then his master ,
neither the ambassadour greater then he that sent him .
*
If ye know these things ,
blessed are ye ,
if ye doe them .
