I thank thee, my God, because I have fulfilled thy work.' And turning to Judas, he said to him: 'Friend, wherefore tarriest thou? My time is nigh, wherefore go and do that which thou must do.'\nThe disciples thought that Jesus was sending Judas to buy something for the day of the Passover: but Jesus knew that Judas was betraying him, wherefore, desiring to depart from the world, he so spake.\nJudas answered: 'Lord, suffer me to eat, and I will go.'\n'Let us eat,' said Jesus, for I have greatly desired to eat this lamb before I am parted from you.' And having arisen, he took a towel and girded his loins, and having put water in a basin, he set himself to wash his disciples' feet. Beginning from Judas, Jesus came to Peter. Said Peter: 'Lord, wouldst thou wash my feet?'\nJesus answered: 'That which I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.'\nPeter answered: 'Thou shalt never wash my feet.'\nThen Jesus rose up, and said: 'Neither shalt thou come in my company on the day of judgment.'\nPeter answered: 'Wash not only my feet, Lord, but my hands and my head.'\nWhen the disciples were washed and were seated at table to eat, Jesus said: 'I have washed you, yet are ye not all clean, forasmuch as all the water of the sea will not wash him that believeth me not.' This said Jesus, because he knew who was betraying him. The disciples were sad at these words, when Jesus said again: 'Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me, insomuch that I shall be sold like a sheep; but woe unto him, for he shall fulfil all that our father David said of such an one, that \"he shall fall into the pit which he had prepared for others.\"'\nWhereupon the disciples looked one upon another, saying with sorrow: 'Who shall be the traitor?'\nJudas then said: 'Shall it be I, O Master?'\nJesus answered: 'Thou hast told me who it shall be that shall betray me.' And the eleven apostles heard it not.\nWhen the lamb was eaten, the devil came upon the back of Judas, and he went forth from the house, Jesus saying to him again: 'Do quickly that which thou must do.'","title":"The Gospel of Barnabas - chapter 213","type":"page"}
