He who
rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. He
whose words I have spoken will be the judge on the last day. For I have
not spoken on my own, but for the Father who sent me. He gave me a
commandment of what I should say and what I should speak. I know that
His commandment is for life everlasting. Whatever I speak, I speak as
the Father spoke to me.
13. It was before the feast of the passover. Jesus knew that the
time had come for Him to depart from this world to the Father. Having
loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. Supper
was ended. The devil now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot to
betray Him. Jesus knew that the Father had given all things into His
hands and that He came from God and went to God.
He arose from supper, 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. He then wiped them with the towel with which He had
girded Himself.
When He came to Simon Peter, he said to Him, Lord, do you wash my feet?
Jesus answered, What I do you do not know now but you will understand
later. Peter said, You will never wash my feet. Jesus replied, If I do
not wash you, then you have no part of me. Peter then said, Lord, then
not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
