19 COMMUNION (cont'd)
[Simon Peter: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?]
What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter.
[Peter: Thou shalt never wash my feet.]
If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
[Simon Peter: Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.]
He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit:
and ye are clean, but not all.
Ye are not all clean.
Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me, Master, and, Lord: and ye say
well; for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the Master, have washed your feet,
ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example,
that ye also should do as I have done to you. 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. If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them. I
speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be
fulfilled, He that eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me. From
henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass,
ye may believe that I am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth
whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that
sent me.
j1306-20
Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
[Every one: Is it I, Lord?]
He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son
of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom
the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.
[Judas: Is it I, Rabbi?]
Thou hast said.
m2621-5/k1417-21/l2221-3
With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: for
I say unto you, I will not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of
God.
[And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said,]
Take this, and divide it among yourselves: for I say unto you, I will not
drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall
come.
[And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to
them, saying,]
This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
[And the cup in like manner after supper, saying,]
This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for
you.
l2215-20/1Cor1123-4
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.

[Jesus therefore, being wearied with the journey, sat thus by the well. It was
about the sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus
saith unto her,] Give me to drink.
[The Samaritan woman: How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me,
which am a Samaritan woman?]
If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to
drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living
water.
[The woman: Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from
whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father
Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and
his cattle?]
Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever
drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water
that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto
eternal life.
[The woman: Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the
way hither to draw.]
Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
[The woman: I have no husband.]
Thou saith well, I have no husband: for thou hast had five husbands; and he
whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
[The woman: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in
this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to
worship.]
Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in
Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. Ye worship that which ye know not: we
worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour
cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. God is
a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
[The woman: I know that Messiah cometh (which is called Christ): when he is
come, he will declare unto us all things.]
I that speak unto thee am he. (cont'd on next page)
