Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

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.

9

Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.

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.

11

For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.
