"Thou shalt never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, 9 "If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me." Simon Peter saith unto him, "Master, not my feet only, but 10 mine hands and head also." Jesus saith unto him, "He

that hath bathed, needeth to wash his feet only; and he 11 is altogether clean: and ye are clean, but not all." For he knew who was to deliver him up: wherefore he said, 12"Ye are not all clean." So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his upper garments, and had again placed himself at table, he said unto them, "Know ye 13 what I have done to you? Ye call me, Teacher, and 14 Master and ye say well for so I am. If I then, your Master and Teacher, have washed your feet; ye also 15 ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you

an example, that ye also may do as I have done to you. 16 Verily verily I say unto you, The servant is not greater

than his master; nor is the messenger greater than he 17 who sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye when+ye do them.

18 "I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen :

but so the scripture is fulfilled, He that eateth bread 19 with me, hath lifted up his heel against me.' Now I tell

you before it come to pass, that, when it shall come to 20 pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily verily I say unto you, He that receiveth whom I shall send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent 21 me." When Jesus had said thus, he was troubled in his spirit, and testified, and said, "Verily verily I say unto 22 you, that one of you will deliver me up." Then the disciples looked on one another, doubting of whom he spake. 23 Now there was placed on the bosom of Jesus one of his 24 disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beck

oneth to him, that he should ask who it might be of 25 whom Jesus spake. He then who leaned on the breast

26 of Jesus, saith unto him, "Master, who is it?" Jesus answereth, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread*, when I have dipped it." And when he had dipped the piece of bread, he giveth it to Judas Iscariot, 27 the son of Simon. And, after the piece of bread, Satan entered into him †. Then saith Jesus unto him, "What 28 thou doest, do quickly." Now no man at the table knew 29 why Jesus spake this unto him. For some thought, be

cause Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said unto him, "Buy those things which we have need of for the feast;" 30 or, that he should give something to the poor. He then

who had received the piece of bread*, went out imme31 diately now it was night. When he was gone out, Jesus saith, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and God 32 is glorified by him. Since God is glorified by him, God also will glorify him in himself, and will immediately 33 glorify him. My children, but a little time longer I shall be with you. Ye will seek me: and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come,' so I now say to 34 you. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; that, as I have loved you, ye also 95 love one another. By this all men will know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love to one another," 36 Simon Peter saith unto him,

Master, whither goest thou?" Jesus answered him, " Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou wilt follow [mé] here37 after." Peter saith unto him, "Master, why cannot I

follow thee [now?] I will lay down my life for thy sake." 38 Jesus answered him, "Wilt thou lay down thy life for

Thomas saith unto him, "Master, we know not whi6 ther thou goest; and how can we know the way?" Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, and the truth, and 7 the life no man cometh to the Father but by me. If ye knew me, you would know my Father also: and hence8 forth ye know him, and have seen § him." Philip saith unto him, "Master, show us the Father;

Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Master, how is it that thou wilt soon manifest thyself to us, and not to 23 the world?" Jesus answered and said unto him, "If any

man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode 24 with him. He who loveth me not, keepeth not my words: and yet the word which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
