Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink" (for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.)

"Rabbi," they said, "eat something." But he answered, "I have food to eat of which you know nothing."

Jesus said to them. "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

"Labor not for food which perishes, but for the food that endures eternal life??hat which the Son of man will give you; for on the Father??od??as set his seal."

"For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

"I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,

Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha??2 it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.

When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died."

Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie him, and let him go."

Then Mary took a pound of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over his feet, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself.

Then he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

Peter answered, "No, never shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," said Jesus, "you have no part in me."

"Lord," said Simon Peter, "not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."

Jesus said: "He who has bathed needs only to have his feet washed, and he is altogether clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

So after he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments again, and taken his place, he said to them.

If then I have washed your feet, I the 'Master' and the 'Teacher', you also ought to wash one another's feet,

and gazed at two angels in glistening white sitting, one at the head the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

"Feed my sheep," said Jesus. "In solemn truth I tell you that when you were young, you used to put on your own girdle, and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands for some one to gird you, and carry you where you do not wish to go."
