And that he was come from God and went to God⁴ he rose from supper and layde a syde his vpper garmentes and toke a towell and gyrd him selfe.⁵ After that poured he water into a basyn and beganne to wash his disciples fete and to wype them with the towell wherwith he was gyrde.⁶ Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde to him: Lorde shalt thou wesshe my fete?⁷ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: what I do thou wotest not now but thou shalt knowe herafter.⁸ Peter sayd vnto him: thou shalt not wesshe my fete whill ye worlde stondeth. Iesus answered him: yf I wasshe ye not thou shalt have no part with me.⁹ Simon Peter sayde vnto him: Lorde not my fete only: but also my handes and my heed.¹⁰ Iesus sayde to him: he that is wesshed nedeth not save to wesshe his fete and is clene every whit. And ye are clene: but not all.¹¹ For he knewe his betrayer. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all clene.¹² After he had wesshed their fete and receaved his clothes and was set doune agayne he sayde vnto them? wot ye what I have done to you?¹³ Ye call me master and Lorde and ye saye well for so am I.¹⁴ If I then youre Lorde and master have wesshed youre fete ye also ought to wesshe one anothers fete.¹⁵ For I have geven you an ensample that ye shuld do as I have done to you.¹⁶ Verely verely I saye vnto you the servaunt is not greater then his master nether the messenger greater then he that sent him.¹⁷ If ye vnderstonde these thinges happy are ye yf ye do them.

¹⁸ I speake not of you all I knowe whom I have chosen. But that ye scripture be fulfilled: he that eateth breed wt me hath lyfte vp his hele agaynste me.¹⁹ Now tell I you before it come: that when it is come to passe ye might beleve that I am he.²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you. He that receaveth who soever I sende receaveth me. And he that receaveth me receaveth him that sent me.²¹ When Iesus had thus sayd he was troubled in the sprete and testified sayinge: verely verely I saye vnto you that one of you shall betraye me.²² And then the disciples loked one on another doutinge of who he spake.²³ Ther was one of his disciples which leaned on Iesus bosome whom Iesus loved.²⁴ To him beckened Simo Peter that he shuld axe who it was of whom he spake.²⁵ He then as he leaned on Iesus brest sayde vnto him: Lorde who ys it?²⁶ Iesus answered he yt ys to whom I geve a soppe when I have dept it. And he wet a soppe and gave it to Iudas Iscarioth Simons sonne.²⁷ And after the soppe Satan entred into him. Then sayd Iesus vnto him: that thou dost do quickly.²⁸ That wist no ma at the table for what intent he spake vnto him.²⁹ Some of the thought because Iudas had the bagge that Iesus had sayd vnto him bye those thinges that we have nede af agaynst ye feast: or that he shulde geve some thinge to the poore.³⁰ Assone then as he had receaved the soppe he wet immediatly out. And it was night.

³¹ Whe he was gone out Iesus sayde: now is the sonne of man glorified. And God is glorified by him.³² Yf God be glorified by him God shall also glorify him in him selfe: and shall strayght waye glorify him.³³ Deare chyldren yet a lytell whyle am I with you. Ye shall seke me and as I sayde vnto the Iewes whither I goo thither can ye not come. Also to you saye I nowe.³⁴ A newe commaundment geve I vnto you that ye love to gedder as I have loved you that even so ye love one another³⁵ By this shall all me knowe yt ye are my disciples yf ye shall have love one to another.

³⁶ Simon Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde whither goest thou? Iesus answered him: whither I goo thou canst not folowe me now but thou shalt folowe me afterwardes.³⁷ Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde why canot I folowe the now? I will geve my lyfe for thy sake?³⁸ Iesus answered him: wilt thou geve thy lyfe for my sake? Verely verely I saye vnto the the cocke shall not crowe tyll thou have denyed me thryse.
