Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon to Betray him knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God: he riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded" himself. After that, he putteth water into a bason, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded" He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet? "Jesus" answered, and said to him: What I do, thou know est not now, but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jelu sus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me. Simon Peter saith to him ** Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, need eth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all. For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.

If then I, being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you so do you also. CREDO.
