John 13
1
Now a before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that b His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He c loved them to the end.
2
And supper being ended, d the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,
3
Jesus, knowing e that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He f had come from God and g was going to God,
4
h rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
5
After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
6
Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, i "Lord, are You washing my feet?"
7
Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you j do not understand now, k but you will know after this."
8
Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, l "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."
9
Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"
10
Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and m you are clean, but not all of you."
11
For n He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."
12
So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
13
o "You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
14
p "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, q you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15
"For r I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
16
s "Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17
t "If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18
"I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the u Scripture may be fulfilled, v 'He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.'
19
w "Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.
20
x "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
21
y When Jesus had said these things, z He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, a one of you will betray Me."
22
Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.
23
Now b there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24
Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
25
Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"
26
Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to c Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27
d Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
28
But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.
29
For some thought, because e Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, "Buy those things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.
30
Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.
31
So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, f "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and g God is glorified in Him.
32
"If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and h glorify Him immediately.
33
"Little children, I shall be with you a i little while longer. You will seek Me; j and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to you.
34
k "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35
l "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
36
Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I m am going you cannot follow Me now, but n you shall follow Me afterward."
37
Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will o lay down my life for Your sake."
38
Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not p crow till you have denied Me three times.
