            On θe first dā ov θe fēst ov non۔leven۔ē bred, wen θe Pasōver lam wuz sakrifīs۔t, Jēsus’s aposol۔s ask۔d hē, “Wār dū yū want wē tū prepār θe Pasōver mēal?”  Tū Pēter and Jon, Jēsus sā۔d, “Gō intū θe sitē, wār yū۔s wil enkounter a man karē۔ing a piqer ov water.  Folō hē intū θe hous hē enter, and sā tū θe hōm ōn۔ōrt, ‘Θe tēq۔ōr ask yū, Wār iz θe gest qāmber, wār Ī wil ēt θe Pasōver wiθ mī disīpel۔s?’  Hē wil xō yū۔s a larj up۔er rūm, furnix۔t.  Māk prepārāxun۔s fōr wē θer.”   Θus θā go۔d, and fīnd۔d az hē had sā۔d, and prepār۔d θe mēal.
            Wen ēvenin arīv۔d, Jēsus sit۔d at θe tābel wiθ his twelv aposol۔s.  Θen Jēsus rīz۔d, rēmūv۔d his outer rōb, and tī۔d a towel around hiself.  Hē flōpōr۔d water intū a bāsin, and bēgin۔d wax۔ing θe disīpel۔s’ fōot۔s, drī۔ing θā wiθ θe towel.  Pēter, wen it wuz his alternat·tīm, ask۔d, “Lōrd, iz yū gō۔ing tū wax mī fōot۔s?”  Jēsus anser۔d, “Yū dū not no wut Ī iz dū۔ing, but lāter yū wil komprēhend.”  Pēter prōtest۔d, “Yū xal never wax mī fōot۔s.”  Rēspond۔d Jēsus, “Unles Ī wax yū, yū wōnt bēlong tū mē.  Pēter sā۔d, “Lōrd, not mī fōot۔s ōnlē; wax alsō mī hand۔s and hed!”  Jēsus anser۔d, “Θōs hū hav alredē baθ۔d iz klēn, θerfōr nēd ōnlē tū wax θā’s fōot۔s.  But not al twelv ov yū۔s iz klēn.”
            After hē had wax۔d θā’s fōot۔s and put۔d bak on his rōb, Jēsus rēturn۔d tū θe tābel, and sā۔d tū θā, “Dū yū۔s no wut Ī hav dū۔d fōr yū۔s?  Yū۔s kal mē tēq۔ōr and lōrd, and yū۔s iz korekt, bēkuz θat iz wut Ī iz.  Θerfōr if Ī, yōr lōrd and tēq۔ōr, hav wax۔d yōr fōot۔s, yū۔s ot tū wax won anoθer’s fōot۔s.  Ī hav set۔d an eksampel θat yū۔s xud folō.  Trū۔lē Ī tel yū۔s, servant۔s iz not grāt۔er θan θā’s mastōr, nor iz mesajōr۔s grāt۔er θan θe won hū send۔d θā.  If yū۔s no θēz θing۔s, and akt upon θā, yū۔s iz bles۔t. 
            Tū θe twelv Jēsus sā۔d, “Ī hav ēger۔lē desīer۔d tū atend θis last super wiθ yū۔s bēfōr Ī sufer.  Ī sā tū yū۔s, Ī mīself wil not ēt θis Pasōver mēal until it’s mēn۔in iz fulfil۔t in θe king۔dom ov God.”  Hē pik۔d up a kup ov wīn and, after giv۔ing θank۔s, sā۔d, “Divīd θis among yōrself۔s, bēkuz from now on Ī wil not drink ov θe vīn until θe arīval ov θe king۔dom ov God.”  Hē rēq۔d fōr a bredlōf, and wen hē had giv۔d θank۔s brāk۔d it intū pēs۔s and giv۔d a pēs tū ēq, sā۔ing, “Θis iz mī bodē, giv۔d tū yū۔s in rēmembrans ov mē.”  Θā ēt۔d, and after θe mēal hē agin pas۔d θā θe kup, sā۔ing, “Θis kup iz testament ov mī blod, wiq iz flōpōr۔d out fōr yū۔s.”
            Θen Jēsus, distres۔t in spērit, deklār۔d, “Ī sā tū yū۔s, won ov yū۔s wil bētrā mē.”  Ērhēr۔ing θat, θe disīpel۔s lōok۔d at won anoθer, ask۔ing, “Iz it ī?”, “Iz it ī?”  Jēsus anser۔d, “It iz hē tū hū Ī giv θis pēs ov bred after Ī hav dip۔d it in θe dix.  Θe son ov man prōsēd az wuz dētermin۔d, but wō iz hē hū bētrā θe son ov man – it wud bē beter fōr hē if hē had not bin birθ۔d.”  Θen hē dip۔d θe bred intū θe bōl, and hand۔d it tū Jūdas Iskārēot, and Jēsus sā۔d tū hē, “Wut yū wil dū, dū kwik۔lē.”  Θe oθer disīpel۔s wuz puzel۔d, wonder۔ing if (bēkuz Jūdas kēp۔d θe komon monē bag) Jēsus wuz ask۔ing hē tū purqas somθin fōr θe festival, ōr tū giv tū θe pōr.  Jūdas stand۔d, wak۔d out ov θe rūm, and hāsten۔d out intū θe nīt.
            Among θe disīpel۔s a dispyūt arīs۔d az tū wiq ov θā wud bē rēgard۔t az grāt۔est.  Jēsus, upon rēturn۔ing, sā۔d tū θā, “Among jentīl۔s, king۔s refer tū θāself۔s az benefaktōr۔s.  But wiθ yū۔s, not sō.  Raθer, among yū۔s θe grāt۔est must akt alīk θe lēst, and θe lēd۔ōr alīk won hū serv.  Bēkuz hū iz grāt۔er, θe won sit۔ing at θe tābel, ōr θe won hū serv hē?  Iz it not hē at θe tābel?  But Ī iz among yū, az won hū serv.  Yū۔s iz θōs hū hav stand۔d bī mē in mī trīal۔s.  Ī konfer on yū۔s, az mī Faθer hav konfer۔d on mē, a king۔dom, sō θat yū۔s mā ēt and drink at mī tābel in mī king۔dom, and yū۔s xal sit on θrōn۔s juj۔ing θe twelv trīb۔s ov Isrāel.”
            Jēsus θen sā۔d, “Now hav θe son ov man enter۔d intū his glōrē, and God hav bin glōrēfī۔t bēkuz ov hē.  And bēkuz God rēsēv glōrē bī θe son, hē wil sūn giv glōrē tū θe son.  Litel qīld۔s, Ī xal bē wiθ yū۔s ōnlē a litel long۔er.  Yū۔s xal sēk mē, but, az Ī hav sā۔d, wār Ī wil gō yū۔s kan·not kom.  Ī hērbī giv yū۔s a nū komandment:  Az Ī hav luv۔d yū۔s, luv won anoθer.  If yū۔s luv won anoθer, al wil no yū۔s iz mī disīpel۔s.”

            Ask۔d Jēsus, “Wen Ī send۔d yū۔s fōrθ wiθout purs, bag, ōr sandal۔s, dū۔d yū۔s lak anēθin?”  Θā anser۔d, “Nō, noθin.”  Jēsus kontinyū۔d, “But now, hē hū hav a purs, let hē tāk it, and alīkwīz a bag.  And hūever hav nō sōrd must sel his klōk and purqas won.  Bēkuz, Ī tel yū, θis skriptūr must bē fulfil۔t:  ‘And hē wuz rekon۔d among θe transgres۔ōrs.’  Indēd, wut wuz profesīz۔t about mē iz rēq۔ing fulfilment.”  Θā sā۔d, “Lōrd, among wē, wē hav twū sōrd۔s.”  Hē rēplī۔d, “Enuf.”

            Ask۔d aposol Θadēus, “Lōrd, how iz it θat yū wil rēvēl yōrself tū wē, and not tū θe world?”  Jēsus anser۔d, “Θōs hū luv mē wil ōbā mī tēq۔in, and mī Faθer wil luv θā.  And wē wil kom tū θā, and māk our hōm wiθ ēq ov θā.  Hūever dū not luv mē wil not ōbā mī tēq۔in.  Wut Ī tel yū۔s iz not from mē, but from mī Faθer hū send۔d mē.  But yōr indwel۔ē kounsel۔ōr, θe hōlēspirit, hū θe Faθer wil send in mī nām, wil tēq yū۔s evrēθin, and rēmīnd yū۔s ov al θat Ī hav sā۔d.  Pēas Ī lēv wiθ yū۔s; mī pēas Ī giv tū yū۔s – pēas suq az θe world kan·not giv.  Let not yōr hart۔s bē distresful.  Bē not afrād.  Yū۔s ērhēr۔d mē tel yū۔s, ‘Ī wil gō awā, and Ī wil kom tū yū۔s.’  If yū۔s luv mē, yū۔s wil rējōis θat Ī wil gō tū θe Faθer, bēkuz Hē iz grāt۔er θan Ī.  Ī tel yū۔s θis bēfōr it okur, sō θat wen it okur, yū۔s wil belēv.  Ī wil nōlonger talk muq wiθ yū۔s, bēkuz θe lēdrūel۔ōr ov θis world iz kom۔ing.  Hē hav nō power ōver mē.  Ī dū az θe Faθer hav komand۔d mē, sō θat θe world mā no θat Ī luv θe Faθer.  Rīz, lets bē on our wā.”  Tūgeθer θā sing۔d a himsong, θen wak۔d bak up θe Mountin ov Oliv۔s.

            Manē dā۔s lāter, after θe aposol۔s had rēturn۔d nōrθ۔ward tū Galilē, several ov θā – inklūd۔ing Pēter and Tomas and θe son۔s ov Zebedē and θrē oθer۔s – fix۔d on lāk Galilē, of·xōr from town Tībērēas.  But θat nīt θā kaq۔d noθin.  Az θā rēturn۔d slīt۔bē after dābrāk, aprōq۔ing θe xōr, θā nōtis۔d a man stand۔ing on θe bēq:  Jēsus, alθō θā dū۔d not rekognīz hē.  Jēsus kal۔d tū θā, “Qīld۔s, hav yū۔s nō fix۔s?”  Θā anser۔d, “Nō.”  Hē sā۔d, “Kast yōr net on θe rītsīd ov θe bōt, and yū۔s wil fīnd som.  Θā kast۔d, and θe net fil۔d wiθ sō manē fix۔s θat it wuz tyū hevē tū hol bak up.  Won ov θe disīpel۔s θen eksklām۔d, “It iz θe Lōrd!”  Θat wuz θe θird tīm hē had apēr۔d tū θe disīpel۔s sins bēing rāz۔d from deθ.  Drag۔ing θe net ful ov fix۔s, θā bēq۔d θe bōt, and az θā step۔d axōr θā sē۔d a qarkōl fīer, and bred.  Jēsus sā۔d tū θā, “Bring som ov yōr fix۔s.”  Θus θā drag۔d θe net axōr, and alθō θer wuz sō manē fix۔s – θā kount۔d 153 – θe net dū۔d not tēr.  Jēsus brāk۔d θe bred, and hand۔d it tū θā, and dū۔d θe sām wiθ θe fix۔s. 
            Wen θā had finix۔d ēt۔ing brekfast, Jēsus ask۔d Pēter, “Dū yū luv mē?”  Pēter rēplī۔d, “Yes, Lōrd, yū no θat Ī luv yū.  Jēsus sā۔d tū hē, “Fēd mī lam۔s.”  Agin Jēsus ask۔d, “Pēter, dū yū luv mē?”  Pēter rēplī۔d, “Yes, Lōrd, yū no θat Ī luv yū.”  Jēsus sā۔d, “Tend mī xēp۔s.”  A θird tīm Jēsus ask۔d hē, “Dū yū luv mē?”  Pēter, fēel۔ing hurt bēkuz hē had bin ask۔d θrīs, rēplī۔d, “Lōrd, yū no al θing۔s; yū no θat Ī luv yū.”  Jēsus sā۔d, “Fēd mī xēp۔s.”
