Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet

1Before the feast of Easter whan Iesus knewe that his tyme was come, that he shulde departe out of this worlde vnto ye father, as he loued his which were in the worlde, euen so loued he them vnto the ende. 2And after supper, whan the deuell had allready put into ye hert of Iudas Iscarioth Symons sonne, to betraye him, 3Iesus knowinge that the father had geuen all thinges in to his handes, & that he was come from God, and wente vnto God, 4he rose from supper, and layed asyde his vpper garmentes, and toke a towell, and gyrde it aboute him.

5Afterwarde poured he water into a basen, and beganne to wash the disciples fete, and dryed them with the towell, yt he was gyrded withall. 6Then came he vnto Symon Peter, and ye same sayde vnto him: LORDE, shalt thou washe my fete? 7Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: What I do, thou knowest not now, but thou shalt knowe it herafter. 8The sayde Peter vnto him: Thou shalt neuer wash my fete. Iesus answered him: Yf I wash ye not, thou shalt haue no parte with me. 9Symon Peter sayde vnto him: LORDE, not the fete onely, but the handes also and the heade. 10Iesus sayde vnto him: He that is wasshe, nedeth not, saue to washe ye fete, but is cleane euery whytt. And ye are cleane but not all. 11For he knewe his betrayer, therfore sayde he: ye are not all cleane.

12Now whan he had wasshen their fete, and taken his clothes, he sat him downe agayne, and sayde vnto the: Wote ye what I haue done vnto you? 13Ye call me master and LORDE, and ye saye right therin, for so I am. 14Yf I then youre LORDE and master haue wasshen youre fete, ye ought also to wash one anothers fete. 15I haue geue you an ensample, that ye shulde do as I haue done vnto you. 16Verely verely I saye vnto you: the seruaunt is not greater then his lorde, nether is the Apostell greater then he that sent him. 17Yf ye knowe these thinges, blessed are ye yf ye do them.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal
(Psalm 41:1–13)

18I speake not of you all, I knowe whom I haue chosen, but that the scripture might be fulfilled: He yt eateth my bred, hath lift vp his hele against me. 19I tell it you now, before it come, that whan it is come to passe, ye maye beleue, that I am he. 20Verely verely I saye vnto you: He that receaueth whom so euer I sende, receaueth me: and he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me.

21Whan Iesus had thus sayde, he was heuy in sprete, and testified, and sayde: Verely verely I saye vnto you: One amonge you shal betraye me. 22Then the disciples loked one vpon another, & were in doute, of whom he spake. 23But there was one amoge his disciples, that leaned at the table on Iesus bosome, who Iesus loued: 24to him beckened Symon Peter, that he shulde axe, who it was, of whom he spake. 25For the same leaued vpo Iesus brest, and sayde vnto him: LORDE, who is it? 26Iesus answered: It is he, vnto whom I dyppe the soppe & geue it. And he dypte in the soppe, and gaue it vnto Iudas Iscarioth Symons sonne. 27And after ye soppe the deuell entred in to him. Then sayde Iesus vnto him: That thou doest, do quyckly. 28But ye same wyst no man at the table, for what intent he sayde it vnto him. 29Some thought (for so moch as Iudas had the bagge) that Iesus had sayde vnto him: Bye that is necessary for vs agaynst the feast: Or that he shulde geue some thinge vnto the poore. 30Whan he had receaued the soppe, he wente out immediatly, and it was night.

Love One Another
(Romans 12:9–13; 1 John 3:11–24)

31Whan he was gone forth, Iesus sayde: Now is the sonne of ma glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32Yf God be glorified in him, the shal god glorifie him also in hiself, & straight waye shal he glorifye him. 33Deare childre, I am yet a litle whyle with you. Ye shal seke me, and (as I sayde vnto ye Iewes) whither I go, thither can ye not come. And now I saye vnto you, 34A new comaundemet geue I you, that ye loue together as I haue loued you, yt euen so ye loue one another. 35By this shal euery man knowe that ye are my disciples, yf ye haue loue one to another.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
(Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; Luke 22:31–38)

36Symon Peter sayde vnto him: LORDE, whither goest thou? Iesus answered him: Whither I go, thou canst not folowe me now, but thou shalt folowe me herafter. 37Peter sayde vnto him: LORDE, why ca not I folowe the now? I wil geue my life for yi sake. 38Iesus answered him: Wilt thou geue thy life for my sake? Verely verely I saye vnto ye. The cock shal not crowe, tyll thou haue denyed me thryse.
