John 13

¹Nowe before the feast of the Passeouer, when Iesus knewe that his houre was come, that he should depart out of this world vnto the Father, forasmuch as he loued his owne which were in the world, vnto the end he loued them.

²And when supper was done (and that the deuill had now put in the heart of Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne, to betray him)

³Iesus knowing that the Father had giuen all things into his hands, and that he was come forth from God, and went to God,

⁴He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his vpper garments, and tooke a towel, and girded himselfe.

⁵After 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.

⁶Then came he to Simon Peter, who sayd to him, Lord, doest thou wash my feete?

⁷Iesus answered and sayd vnto him, What I doe, thou knowest not nowe: but thou shalt knowe it hereafter.

⁸Peter said vnto him, Thou shalt neuer wash my feete. Iesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt haue no part with me.

⁹Simon Peter sayd vnto him, Lord, not my feete onely, but also the hands and the head.

¹⁰Iesus 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.

¹¹For hee knewe who should betray him: therefore sayd he, Ye are not all cleane.

¹²So 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?
