1. Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that
his hour was come that he should depart out of this world
unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the
world, he loved them unto the end.
2. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the
heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
3. Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his
hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
4. He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took
a towel, and girded himself.
5. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash
the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel
wherewith he was girded.
6. Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him,
Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7. Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not
now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus
answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also
my hands and my head.
10. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to
wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean,
but not all.
11. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are
not all clean.
12. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his
garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye
what I have done to you?
13. Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye
also ought to wash one another's feet.
15. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have
done to you.
16. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater
than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that
sent him.
17. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that
the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me
hath lifted up his heel against me.
19. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to
pass, ye may believe that I am he.
20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever
I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him
that sent me.
21. When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and
testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that
one of you shall betray me.
22. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom
he spake.
23. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved.
24. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask
who it should be of whom he spake.
25. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is
it?
26. Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I
have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it
to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus
unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28. Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this
unto him.
29. For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that
Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need
of against the feast; or, that he should give something to
the poor.
30. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it
was night.
