¹Before the feast of ester when Iesus knewe that his houre was come that he shuld departe out of this worlde vnto the father. When he loved his which were in the worlde vnto the ende he loved them.

²And when supper was ended after that the devyll had put in the hert of Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne to betraye him:

³Iesus knowinge that the father had geve all thinges into his hondes. And that he was come from God and went to God

⁴he rose from supper and layde a syde his vpper garmentes and toke a towell and gyrd him selfe.

⁵After that poured he water into a basyn and beganne to wash his disciples fete and to wype them with the towell wherwith he was gyrde.

⁶Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde to him: Lorde shalt thou wesshe my fete?

⁷Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: what I do thou wotest not now but thou shalt knowe herafter.

⁸Peter sayd vnto him: thou shalt not wesshe my fete whill the worlde stondeth. Iesus answered him: yf I wasshe the not thou shalt have no part with me.

⁹Simon Peter sayde vnto him: Lorde not my fete only: but also my handes and my heed.

¹⁰Iesus sayde to him: he that is wesshed nedeth not save to wesshe his fete and is clene every whit. And ye are clene: but not all.

¹¹For he knewe his betrayer. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all clene.

¹²After he had wesshed their fete and receaved his clothes and was set doune agayne he sayde vnto them? wot ye what I have done to you?

¹³Ye call me master and Lorde and ye saye well for so am I.

¹⁴If I then youre Lorde and master have wesshed youre fete ye also ought to wesshe one anothers fete.

¹⁵For I have geven you an ensample that ye shuld do as I have done to you.

¹⁶Verely verely I saye vnto you the servaunt is not greater then his master nether the messenger greater then he that sent him.

¹⁷If ye vnderstonde these thinges happy are ye yf ye do them.

¹⁸I speake not of you all I knowe whom I have chosen. But that the scripture be fulfilled: he that eateth breed with me hath lyfte vp his hele agaynste me.

¹⁹Now tell I you before it come: that when it is come to passe ye might beleve that I am he.

²⁰Verely verely I saye vnto you. He that receaveth who soever I sende receaveth me. And he that receaveth me receaveth him that sent me.

²¹When Iesus had thus sayd he was troubled in the sprete and testified sayinge: verely verely I saye vnto you that one of you shall betraye me.

²²And then the disciples loked one on another doutinge of who he spake.

²³Ther was one of his disciples which leaned on Iesus bosome whom Iesus loved.

²⁴To him beckened Simon Peter that he shuld axe who it was of whom he spake.

²⁵He then as he leaned on Iesus brest sayde vnto him: Lorde who ys it?

²⁶Iesus answered he that ys to whom I geve a soppe when I have dept it. And he wet a soppe and gave it to Iudas Iscarioth Simons sonne.

²⁷And after the soppe Satan entred into him. Then sayd Iesus vnto him: that thou dost do quickly.

²⁸That wist no man at the table for what intent he spake vnto him.

²⁹Some of the thought because Iudas had the bagge that Iesus had sayd vnto him bye those thinges that we have nede af agaynst the feast: or that he shulde geve some thinge to the poore.

³⁰Assone then as he had receaved the soppe he wet immediatly out. And it was night.

³¹When he was gone out Iesus sayde: now is the sonne of man glorified. And God is glorified by him.

³²Yf God be glorified by him God shall also glorify him in him selfe: and shall strayght waye glorify him.

³³Deare chyldren yet a lytell whyle am I with you. Ye shall seke me and as I sayde vnto the Iewes whither I goo thither can ye not come. Also to you saye I nowe.

³⁴A newe commaundment geve I vnto you that ye love to gedder as I have loved you that even so ye love one another.

³⁵By this shall all me knowe that ye are my disciples yf ye shall have love one to another.

³⁶Simon Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde whither goest thou? Iesus answered him: whither I goo thou canst not folowe me now but thou shalt folowe me afterwardes.

³⁷Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde why cannot I folowe the now? I will geve my lyfe for thy sake?

³⁸Iesus answered him: wilt thou geve thy lyfe for my sake? Verely verely I saye vnto the the cocke shall not crowe tyll thou have denyed me thryse.
