Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem (13,16-20)
In illo tempre: dixit Iesus : Amen, amen dico vobis: Non est servus maíor dómino suo, neque apóstolus maíor eo, qui misit illum. Si hæc scitis, beáti estis, si fácitis ea. Non de ómnibus vobis dico, ego scio, quos elégerim, sed ut impleátur Scriptúra: ‘Qui mandúcat meum panem, levávit contra me calcáneum suum.’ Ámodo dico vobis priúsquam fiat, ut credátis, cum factum fúerit, quia ego sum. Amen, amen dico vobis: Qui áccipit, si quem mísero, me áccipit; qui autem me áccipit, áccipit eum, qui me misit.
At that time: Jesussaid: Amen, amen I say to you, a servant is not greater than his Lord, neither is an Apostle greater than he that sent him. If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them. Ispeak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me. From this time I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe, that I am he. Amen, amen, I say to you, he that receiveth any that I send, receiveth me: & he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
