Διὰ τοῦτο παρέχωμεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ τοὺς πόδας ἡμῶν καὶ νῦν ἐγειρομένῳ ἐκ τοῦ δείπνου, καὶ τιθέντι τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ λαμβάνοντι λέντιον καὶ διαζωννύντι ἑαυτόν, καὶ βάλλοντι ὕδωρ εἰς τὸν νιπτῆρα καὶ ἀρχομένῳ νίπτειν τοὺς πόδας ἡμῶν, ὡς μαθητῶν, καὶ ἐκ|μάσσειν τῷ λεντίῳ, ᾧ δι’ ἡμᾶς γενόμενος ἐν μέσῳ ἡμῶν ὡς ὁ διακονῶν διαζώννυται. ἐὰν γὰρ μὴ ποιήσωμεν τοῦτο, οὐχ ἕξομεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ μέρος οὐδὲ ὡραῖοι ἔσονται οἱ πόδες ἡμῶν, καὶ μάλιστα ὅτε ζηλοῦντες τὰ μείζονα χαρίσματα θέλομεν ἐγκαταταχθῆναι τοῖς εὐαγγελιζομένοις τὰ ἀγαθά.
