*
Now before the feast of the passover ,
Jesus ,
knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father ,
having loved his own who were in the world ,
loved them unto the end .
*
And supper being served ,
the Devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot ,
the son of Simon ,
to betray him ,
*
he ,
knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands ,
and that he came forth from God ,
and was going to God ,
*
riseth from the supper ,
and layeth aside his garments ,
and took a towel ,
and girded himself .
*
Then he poureth water into the basin ,
and began to wash the disciples
feet ,
and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded .
*
So he cometh to Simon Peter ;
who saith to him ,
Lord ,
dost thou wash my feet ?
*
Jesus answered and said to him ,
What I do thou knowest not now ,
but thou wilt know hereafter .
*
Peter saith to him ,
Thou shalt never wash my feet .
Jesus answered him ,
If I wash thee not ,
thou hast no part with me .
*
Simon Peter saith to him ,
Lord ,
not my feet only ,
but also my hands and my head .
*
Jesus saith to him ,
He that hath bathed needeth not to wash himself ,
but is wholly clean ;
and ye are clean ,
but not all .
*
For he knew who was about to betray him ;
for this reason he said ,
Ye are not all clean .
*
So after he had washed their feet ,
and had taken his garments ,
and placed himself again at the table ,
he said to them ,
Know ye what I have done to you ?
*
Ye call me the Teacher ,
and the Lord ;
and ye say well ;
for so I am .
*
If I then ,
the Lord and the Teacher ,
have washed your feet ,
ye also ought to wash one another
s feet .
*
For I have given you an example ,
that ye also should do as I have done to you .
*
Truly ,
truly do I say to you ,
A servant is not greater than his lord ,
nor one who is sent greater than he that sent him .
*
If ye know these things ,
happy are ye if ye do them .
