φαίνεται οὑν ἀκρίτως μὴ εὔλογον νενομικέναι εἶναι τὸ περὶ τοῦ νίψαι τοὺς πόδας τῶν μαθητῶν τοῦ Ἰησοῦ βούλημα. εἰ δὲ χρὴ μέχρι τῶν ἐλαχίστων εἶναι νομιζομένων ἐρευνᾶν τὴν γραφήν, ζητήσαι τις ἂν τί δήποτε, πρώτου κατειλεγμένου τοῦ Πέτρου εἰς τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν δώδεκα, τάχα ὡς τῶν λοιπῶν τιμιωτέρου, ἐπεὶ καὶ ὁ ἀληθῶς πάντων ἔσχατος Ἰούδας ἦν. ὑπὸ τῆς μοχθηρᾶς διαθέσεως ἐπὶ τὰ τελευταῖα ἀνταπερριμμένος, ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀρξάμενος νίπτ̇ειν τοὺς πόδας τῶν μαθητῶν καὶ ἐκμάσσειν τῷ λεντίῳ ᾧ ἦν διεζωσμένος, οὐκ ἀπὸ Πέτρου ἤρξατο.
