n“Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew
that His hour had come that He
should depart from this world to the Father,
having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s
son, to betray Him, Jesus,
knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was
going to God, rose from supper
and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with
the towel with which He was
girded. Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?”
Jesus answered and said to
him, “What I am doing you do not understand
now, but you will know after this.” Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If
I do not wash you, you have no
part with Me.” ”
