5 After that, he powred water into a bason, and began to washe the disciples feete, and to wype them with the towel wherwith he was gyrded.

6 Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde vnto hym: Lorde, doest thou wasshe my feete?

7 Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym: What I do, thou wotest not nowe, but thou shalt knowe hereafter.

8 Peter sayth vnto hym: Thou shalt neuer wasshe my feete. Iesus aunswered hym: If I wasshe thee not, thou hast no part with me.

9 Simon Peter sayth vnto him: Lorde, not my feete only, but also the handes, and the head.

10 Iesus sayth to hym: He that is wasshed, nedeth not saue to washe his feete, but is cleane euery whit. And ye are cleane, but not all.

11 For he knewe who it was that should betray hym. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all cleane.

12 So, after he had wasshed their feete, and receaued his clothes, and was set downe agayne, he sayde vnto them: Wote ye what I haue done to you?

13 Ye call me Maister, and Lorde, and ye say well, for so am I.

14 If I then your Lorde and Maister, haue wasshed your feete, ye also ought to wasshe one anothers feete.

15 For I haue geuen you an ensample, that ye shoulde do as I haue done to you.
