1 NOW before the feast of petscha, Jeshu knew that his hour was come, and that he should pass from this world unto his Father, and he had loved his who were in this world, and unto the end he had loved them.

2 And when was the supper, Satana had cast it into the heart of Jihuda bar Shemun Scarjuta to betray him.

3 But Jeshu himself, because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that from Aloha he had come forth, and unto Aloha he was going,

4 riseth from supper, and setteth his garments apart, and took a towel, (and) bound (it) upon his loins;

5 and he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and wiped (them) with the towel that he had bound upon his loins.

6 But when he came to Shemun Kipha, Shemun said to him, Dost thou, my Lord, wash my feet for me?

7 Jeshu answered and said to him, What I do, thou knowest not now; but afterward thou shalt know.

8 Shemun Kipha saith to him, Never shalt thou wash for me my feet. Jeshu saith to him, If I do not wash thee, thou hast with me no part.

9 Shemun Kipha saith to him, Then, my Lord, not only my feet shalt thou wash for me, but also my hands, also my head.

10 Jeshu saith, He that hath bathed needeth not but his feet only to wash, for all of him he hath cleansed: also you are clean, but not all of you.

11 For Jeshu knew who was betraying him; therefore he said, Ye are not all of you clean.

12 But when he had washed their feet, he took up his garments and reclined, and said to them, Know you what I have done for you?

13 You call me Our Master, and Our Lord; and well say you, for I am.

14 If I then, your Lord and your Master, have washed for you your feet, how much more ought you to wash the feet of one another?

15 For this pattern have I given you, that as I have done to you, you also should do.

16 Amen, amen, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; nor (is) the apostle greater than he who sent him.

17 If these you know, happy are you if you do them.
