Verses 1–10

1 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world--to the end he loved them.

2 And supper being come, the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

3 Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him--into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

4 doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;

5 afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.

6 He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, `Sir, thou--dost thou wash my feet?'

7 Jesus answered and said to him, `That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'

8 Peter saith to him, `Thou mayest not wash my feet--to the age.' Jesus answered him, `If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;'

9 Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'

10 Jesus saith to him, `He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'
