013:002 While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time
suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought
of betraying Him, Jesus,
013:003 although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands,
and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,
013:004 rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took
a towel and tied it round Him.
013:005 Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash
the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel
which He had put round Him.
013:006 When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said,
"are *you* going to wash my feet?"
013:007 "What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do
not know, but afterwards you shall know."
013:008 "Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you
wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus,
"you have no share with me."
013:009 "Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands
and my head."
013:010 "Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not
need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over.
And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true
of all of you."
013:011 For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said,
"You are not all of you clean."
013:012 So after He had washed their feet, put on His garments again,
and returned to the table, He said to them, "Do you understand
what I have done to you?
013:013 You call me `The Rabbi' and `The Master,' and rightly so,
for such I am.
