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.
