Before the feast of the Passouer, when Iesus knewe that his houre was come, yt he shoulde departe out of this world vnto the father: When he loued his which were in the world, vnto the ende he loued them.

And when supper was ended (after that the deuyll had put in the heart of Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, to betray hym)

Iesus knowyng that the father had geuen all thynges into his handes, and that he was come from God, and went to God:

He rose from supper, and layde asyde his vpper garmentes: And when he had taken a towel, he gyrded hym selfe.

After that, he powred water into a bason, and began to washe the disciples feete, and to wype them with the towel wherwith he was gyrded.

Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde vnto hym: Lorde, doest thou wasshe my feete?

Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym: What I do, thou wotest not nowe, but thou shalt knowe hereafter.

Peter sayth vnto hym: Thou shalt neuer wasshe my feete. Iesus aunswered hym: If I wasshe thee not, thou hast no part with me.

Simon Peter sayth vnto him: Lorde, not my feete only, but also the handes, and the head.

Iesus sayth to hym: He that is wasshed, nedeth not saue to washe his feete, but is cleane euery whit. And ye are cleane, but not all.

For he knewe who it was that should betray hym. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all cleane.

So, after he had wasshed their feete, and receaued his clothes, and was set downe agayne, he sayde vnto them: Wote ye what I haue done to you?

Ye call me Maister, and Lorde, and ye say well, for so am I.

If I then your Lorde and Maister, haue wasshed your feete, ye also ought to wasshe one anothers feete.

For I haue geuen you an ensample, that ye shoulde do as I haue done to you.

Ueryly, veryly, I say vnto you: The seruaunt is not greater the his maister, neither the messenger greater then he that sent hym.

Yf ye knowe these thynges, happy are ye, yf ye do them.

I speake not of you all. I knowe whom I haue chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfylled: He that eateth bread with me, hath lyft vp his heele agaynst me.

Nowe tell I you before it come: that when it is come to passe, ye myght beleue that I am he.

Ueryly, veryly, I say vnto you, he that receaueth whomsoeuer I sende, receaueth me: And he that receaueth me, receaueth hym that sent me.

When Iesus had thus sayde, he was troubled in spirite, and testified, & saide: Ueryly, veryly, I say vnto you, that one of you shall betray me.

Then the disciples loked one on another, doubtyng of whom he spake.

There was one of Iesus disciples, leanyng on Iesus bosome, euen he whom Iesus loued.

To hym beckened Simon Peter therfore, that he shoulde aske who it was of whom he spake.

He then, when he leaned on Iesus brest, sayde vnto hym: Lorde, who is it?

Iesus aunswered: He it is to whom I geue a sop when I haue dipped it. And he wet the sop, and gaue it to Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne.

And after the sop, Satan entred into hym. Then sayde Iesus vnto hym: That thou doest, do quickly.

That wiste no man at the table, for what intent he spake vnto hym.

Some of the thought, because Iudas had the bagge, that Iesus had sayde vnto hym, bye those thynges that we haue neede of agaynst the feast: or, that he shoulde geue somethyng to ye poore.

Assoone then, as he had receaued the sop, he went immediatly out: and it was nyght.

Therfore, when he was gone out, Iesus sayd, Nowe is the sonne of man glorified: And God is glorified in hym.

Yf God be glorified in hym, God shall also glorifie hym in hym selfe, and shall strayghtway glorifie hym.

Litle children, yet a litle whyle am I with you. Ye shall seeke me: and as I sayde vnto the Iewes, whither I go, thither can ye not come. Also to you say I nowe:

A newe commaundement geue I vnto you, that ye loue together, as I haue loued you, that euen so ye loue one another.

By this shall all men knowe that ye are my disciples, yf ye haue loue one to another.

Simon Peter saide vnto him: Lorde, whither goest thou? Iesus aunswered hym: Whither I go, thou canst not folowe me nowe, but thou shalt folowe me afterwardes.

Peter sayde vnto hym: Lorde, why can not I folowe thee nowe? I wyll ieoparde my lyfe for thy sake.

Iesus aunswered hym: Wylt thou ieoparde thy lyfe for my sake? Uerly, veryly, I saye vnto thee, the Cocke shall not crowe, tyll thou haue denyed me thryse.
