1Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.
2So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,
3Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.
5Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.
6So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?
7And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.
