‹And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.›
Now 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 own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray him;
Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel wherewith he was girded.
Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
Jesus answered and said unto him, ‹What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.›
Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, ‹If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.›
Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head.
