12:44. But Jesus cried and said: He that believeth in me doth not
believe in me, but in him that sent me.
12:45. And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
12:46. I am come, a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in
me may not remain in darkness.
12:47. And if any man hear my words and keep them not, I do not judge
him for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
12:48. He that despiseth me and receiveth not my words hath one that
judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in
the last day.
12:49. For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he
gave me commandment what I should say and what I should speak.
12:50. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things
therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.
John Chapter 13
Christ washes his disciples' feet. The treason of Judas. The new
commandment of love.
13:1. Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour
was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having
loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
Before the festival day of the pasch. . .This was the fourth and last
pasch of the ministry of Christ, and according to the common
computation, was in the thirty-third year of our Lord: and in the year
of the world 4036. Some chronologers are of opinion that our Saviour
suffered in the thirty-seventh year of his age: but these different
opinions on this subject are of no consequence.
13:2. And when supper was done (the devil having now put into the heart
of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him),
13:3. Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands
and that he came from God and goeth to God,
13:4. He riseth from supper and layeth aside his garments and, having
taken a towel, girded himself.
13:5. After that, he putteth water into a basin and began to wash the
feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was
girded.
13:6. He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord,
dost thou wash my feet?
13:7. Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now;
but thou shalt know hereafter.
13:8. Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet, Jesus answered
him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.
13:9. Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my
hands and my head.
13:10. 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.
13:11. For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said:
You are not all clean.
13:12. 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?
13:13. You call me Master and Lord. And you say well: for so I am.
