Knowing that the Father had given him 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.

Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.

Then after he had washed their feet and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?

Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.

I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me,

Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I also have kept my Father’s commandments and do abide in his love.

Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends. because all things, whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.

Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb.

Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own and shall leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

These things Jesus spoke: and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: the hour is come. Glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.

When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.

And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.

Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the name of thee servant was Malchus.

The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine.

And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said: I am not.
