PRELUDE O World, I Must Leave Thee Johannes Brahms THE
COLLECT
Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins. God’s mercy endures
forever.
Almighty God, whose dear Son, on the night before he suffered,
instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant
that we may receive it thankfully in remembrance of Jesus Christ
our Lord, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal
life; and who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE READING 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 I received from the Lord what I
also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was
betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he
broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in
remembrance of me.” In the same way he took the cup also, after
supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this,
as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as
you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death
until he comes.
Hear what the Spirit is saying. Thanks be to God.
THE GOSPEL John 13:1-17, 31b-35 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ according to John. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour
had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having
loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The
devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon
Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing that the
Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come
from God and was going to God, got up from the table, took off his
outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water
into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them
with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter,
who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus
answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will
understand.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands
and my head!” Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need
to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are
clean, though not all of you.” For he knew who was to betray him;
for this reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.” After he had
washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the
table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You
call me Teacher and Lord- -and you are right, for that is what I
am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also
ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example,
that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly, I tell
you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers
greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things, you
are blessed if you do them.

“Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified
in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him
in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with
you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to
the Jews so now I say to you, `Where I am going, you cannot come.’
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I
have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone
will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one
another.”.
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as
we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
PSALM 22:1-21 The Cantors sings Psalm 22 as the altar is

Garden to remember Christ’s time in prayer in the Garden of
Gethsemane.
