Tractate LVIII.

Chapter XIII. 10–15.

1. We have already, beloved, as the Lord was pleased to enable us, expounded to you those words of the Gospel, where the Lord, in washing His disciples’ feet, says, “He that is once washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit.” Let us now look at what follows. “And ye,” He says, “are clean, but not all.” And to remove the need of inquiry on our part, the evangelist has himself explained its meaning, by adding: “For He knew who it was that should betray Him; therefore said He, Ye are not all clean.” Can anything be clearer? Let us therefore pass to what follows.

TRACTATUS LVIII. Ab eo quod Dominus dicit, Et vos mundi estis, sed non omnes; usque ad id, Exemplum dedi vobis, ut quemadmodum ego feci vobis, ita et vos faciatis. Cap. XIII, V\. 10-15.

1. Jam illa verba Evangelii, ubi Dominus lavans pedes discipulis suis, ait, Qui lotus est semel, non habet necessitatem nisi pedes lavare, sed est mundus totus (Joan. XIII, 10), Dilectioni vestrae, ut Dominus donare dignatus est, exposuimus: nunc quod sequitur videamus. Et vos, inquit, mundi estis, sed non omnes. Hoc quid sit ne quaereremus, ipse Evangelista patefecit, adjungens: Sciebat enim quisnam esset qui 1793 traderet eum; propterea dixi: Non estis mundi omnes. Quid hoc apertius? Proinde ad sequentia transeamus.
