Now before the feast of the Passeouer, when Iesus knew that his houre was come, that he should depart out of this world vnto the Father, hauing loued his owne which were in the world, he loued them vnto the end.

And supper being ended (the deuill hauing now put into the heart of Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne to betray him.)

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

He riseth from supper, and layed aside his garments, and tooke a towell, and girded himselfe.

After that, he powreth water into a bason, and beganne to wash the disciples feete, and to wipe them with the towell wherewith he was girded.

Then commeth he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith vnto him, Lord, doest thou wash my feete?

Iesus answered, and said vnto him, What I doe, thou knowest not now: but thou shalt know heereafter.

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

Simon Peter saith vnto him, Lord, not my feete only, but also my hands, and my head.

Iesus saith to him, He that is washed, needeth not, saue to wash his feet, but is cleane euery whit: and ye are cleane, but not all.

For he knew who should betray him, therefore said he, Ye are not all cleane.
