1 Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 2 And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto God, 4 riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself. 5 Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 6 So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter. 8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 11 For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

12 So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him. 17 If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.

1 Na, i mua ake o te hakari o te kapenga, ka mahara a Ihu kua taka tona wa e haere atu ai ia i tenei ao ki te Matua; aroha ana ia ki ona o te ao nei, arohaina ana ratou taea noatia te mutunga.

2 A, i te mutunga o te hapa, kua whakamaharatia noatia ake ano hoki e te rewera te ngakau o Hura Ikariote, tama a Haimona, kia tukua ia;

3 A ka mahara a Ihu kua oti nga mea katoa te homai e te Matua ki ona ringa, i haere mai ia i te Atua, e hoki atu ana ki te Atua;

4 Ka whakatika ia i te hapa, ka whakarere i ona kakahu; ka mau ki te tauera, ka whitiki i a ia.

5 Me i reira ka ringihia e ia he wai ki te peihana, a ka anga ka horoi i nga waewae o nga akonga, ka muru hoki ki te tauera i whitikiria ai ia.

6 A, ka tae ia ki a Haimona Pita, ka mea tera ki a ia, E te Ariki, e horoi ana koe i oku waewae?

7 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E kore koe e matau aianei ki taku e mea nei: otira e matau koe a mua ake nei.

8 Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, E kore rawa koe e horoi i oku waewae. Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, Ki te kore ahau e horoi i a koe, kahore au wahi i roto i ahau.

9 Ka mea a Haimona Pita ki a ia, E te Ariki, aua ra ko oku waewae anake, engari ko oku ringa me toku matenga.

10 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te mea i te kaukau tetahi, kahore atu he aha mana, ko te horoi anake i ona waewae, e ma katoa ana hoki ia: e ma ana koutou, otira kahore katoa.

11 I mohio hoki ia ki te tangata e tukua ai ia; koia ia i mea ai, kahore koutou katoa i ma.

12 A ka oti o ratou waewae te horoi, ka mau ia ki ona kakahu, ka noho ano, na, ka mea ki a ratou, E matau ana ranei koutou ki taku i mea nei ki a koutou?

13 E karangatia ana ahau e koutou, E te Kaiwhakaako, E te Ariki: a he tika ta koutou korero; ko ahau hoki ia.

14 Na kua horoia nei o koutou waewae e ahau, e to koutou Ariki, e to koutou Kaiwhakaako; me horoi ano hoki e koutou nga waewae o tetahi, o tetahi o koutou.

15 Kua hoatu nei hoki e ahau he tauira mo koutou, kia rite ai ta koutou mahi ki taku i mea nei ki a koutou.

16 He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore te pononga e nui ake i tona rangatira; e kore ano te tangata i tonoa e nui atu i tona kaitono.

17 Ki te matau koutou ki enei mea, ka koa ki te meatia e koutou.
