18 And Peter said, Then, O my Lord, wash both my feet, my hands, my head.
19 And Jesus said to him, He who has taken first his bath is clean, and has no need to wash, except his feet.
20 The feet are truly symbols of the understanding of the man, and he who would be clean must, in the living stream of life, wash well his understanding every day.
21 Then Jesus sat with his disciples at the table of the feast and said, Behold the lesson of the hour:
22 You call me master; such I am. If, then, your Lord and master kneel and wash your feet, should you not wash each other’s feet and thus show forth your willingness to serve?
23 You know these things, and if you do them, blessed thrice are you.
24 And then he said, This is an hour when I can truly praise the name of God, for I have greatly wished to eat with you this feast before I pass the veil;
25 For I will eat it not again until anew I eat it with you in the kingdom of our Father-God.
26 And then they sung the Hebrew song of praise that Jews were wont to sing before the feast.
27 And then they ate the pasch and as they ate, the master said, Behold, for one of you will turn away this night and will betray me into wicked hands.
