Johannes 13
1 Men før Paaskehøjtiden, da Jesus vidste, at hans Time var kommen, til at han skulde gaa bort fra denne Verden til Faderen, da, ligesom han havde elsket sine egne, som vare i Verden, saa elskede han dem indtil Enden.
When it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and [to return] to [his] Father [in heaven]. He loved us who [were his disciples]. He knew [we would continue to live here] in this world, so now he [showed us] how completely he loved us.
2 Og medens der holdtes Aftensmaaltid, da Djævelen allerede havde indskudt i Judas's, Simons Søns, Iskariots Hjerte, at han skulde forraade ham;
We were eating [the Passover meal]. (The devil/Satan) had already suggested to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the son of Simon, that he should (betray Jesus/enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
3 da Jesus vidste, at Faderen havde givet ham alle Ting i Hænde, og at han var udgaaet fra Gud og gik hen til Gud:
But Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority [to control the situation]. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.
4 saa rejser han sig fra Maaltidet og lægger sine Klæder fra sig, og han tog et Linklæde og bandt det om sig.
[But before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other]. [So] he got up from where he was eating. He took off his [outer] cloak and wrapped a [long] towel around his waist, [as a slave would do].
5 Derefter hælder han Vand i Vadskefadet og begyndte at to Disciplenes Fødder og at tørre dem med Linklædet, som han var ombunden med.
Then he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.
6 Han kommer da til Simon Peter; og denne siger til ham: „Herre! tor du mine Fødder?‟
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you [RHQ] to [humble yourself by] washing my feet!”
7 Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Hvad jeg gør, ved du ikke nu, men du skal forstaa det siden efter.‟
Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
8 Peter siger til ham: „Du skal i al Evighed ikke to mine Fødder.‟ Jesus svarede ham: „Dersom jeg ikke tor dig, har du ikke Lod sammen med mig.‟ (aiōn g165)
Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter siger til ham: „Herre! ikke mine Fødder alene, men ogsaa Hænderne og Hovedet.‟
So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, [in that case], do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, [too]!”
10 Jesus siger til ham: „Den, som er tvættet, har ikke nødig at to andet end Fødderne, men er ren over det hele; og I ere rene, men ikke alle.‟
[Then, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins] [MET], Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, [because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads]. The [rest of their bodies are] clean. Similarly, I have made you [disciples] free/clean [from the guilt of your sins], although not all of you are free from guilt.”
11 Thi han kendte den, som forraadte ham; derfor sagde han: „I ere ikke alle rene.‟
He knew which one [of us] was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”
12 Da han nu havde toet deres Fødder og havde taget sine Klæder og atter sat sig til Bords, sagde han til dem: „Vide I, hvad jeg har gjort ved eder?
After he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
13 I kalde mig Mester og Herre, og I tale ret, thi jeg er det.
You [show that you respect me by] calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.
14 Naar da jeg, Herren og Mesteren, har toet eders Fødder, saa ere ogsaa I skyldige at to hverandres Fødder.
But if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to [serve each other by doing things like] washing each other’s feet.
15 Thi jeg har givet eder et Eksempel, for at, ligesom jeg gjorde ved eder, skulle ogsaa I gøre.
I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
16 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, en Tjener er ikke større end sin Herre, ikke heller et Sendebud større end den, som har sendt ham.
Listen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. [So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other].
17 Naar I vide dette, ere I salige, om I gøre det.
Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
18 Jeg taler ikke om eder alle; jeg ved, hvilke jeg har udvalgt; men Skriften maatte opfyldes: Den, som æder Brødet med mig, har opløftet sin Hæl imod mig.
“I am not saying that [God will bless] all of you. I knew [what all of you were like when] I chose you. But [I also chose the one who will betray me], in order that what is written in Scripture might be fulfilled {to fulfill what someone/the psalmist wrote in Scripture}, ‘The one who is [acting like he is my friend by] eating with me has become my enemy [IDM].’
19 Fra nu af siger jeg eder det, førend det sker, for at I, naar det er sket, skulle tro, at det er mig.
I am telling you [about someone betraying me] before it happens, in order that when it happens, you may continue to believe that I am ([the Messiah/who I say I am]).
20 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, den, som modtager, hvem jeg sender, modtager mig; men den, som modtager mig, modtager ham, som har sendt mig.‟
Listen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, [God will consider that] they are accepting me. And those who accept me, [God will consider that] they are accepting [my Father], who sent me.”
21 Da Jesus havde sagt dette, blev han heftigt bevæget i Aanden og vidnede og sagde: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, en af eder vil forraade mig.‟
After Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He solemnly declared, “Listen to this carefully: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
22 Da saa Disciplene paa hverandre, tvivlraadige om, hvem han talte om.
We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
23 Men der var en iblandt hans Disciple, som sad til Bords ved Jesu Side, han, hvem Jesus elskede.
[I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
24 Til denne nikker da Simon Peter og siger til ham: „Sig, hvem det er, han taler om?‟
Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
25 Men denne bøjer sig op til Jesu Bryst og siger til ham: „Herre! hvem er det?‟
So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus svarer: „Det er den, hvem jeg giver det Stykke Brød, som jeg dypper.‟ Saa dypper han Stykket og tager og giver det til Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot.
Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I dip it [in the sauce in the dish].” Then, [to show us that he knew who would enable his enemies to seize him], after he dipped the bread [in the sauce], he gave it to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]).
27 Og efter at han havde faaet Stykket, da gik Satan ind i ham. Saa siger Jesus til ham: „Hvad du gør, gør det snart!‟
As soon as [Judas ate] the bread, Satan took control of him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
28 Men ingen af dem, som sade til Bords, forstod, hvorfor han sagde ham dette.
But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
29 Thi nogle mente, efterdi Judas havde Pungen, at Jesus sagde til ham: „Køb, hvad vi have nødig til Højtiden; ‟ eller at han skulde give noget til de fattige.
Since Judas took care of the money [people gave us to help us], some thought Jesus was telling him to [go and] buy some things we needed for the [Passover] celebration. [Some thought he was telling him] to give some money to poor people.
30 Da han nu havde faaet Stykket, gik han straks ud. Men det var Nat.
As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
31 Da han nu var gaaet ud, siger Jesus: „Nu er Menneskesønnen herliggjort, og Gud er herliggjort i ham.
After Judas left, Jesus said, “Now it will be shown {[my Father] will show} how wonderful I, the one who came from heaven, am. And by what I do it will be seen {people will see} how great God is.
32 Dersom Gud er herliggjort i ham, skal Gud ogsaa herliggøre ham i sig, og han skal snart herliggøre ham.
Since by what I do people will see how awesome God is, God himself will show people how awesome I am. And he will do that very soon.
33 Børnlille! endnu en liden Stund er jeg hos eder. I skulle lede efter mig, og ligesom jeg sagde til Jøderne: „Hvor jeg gaar hen, kunne I ikke komme, ‟ siger jeg nu ogsaa til eder.
[You whom I love as though you were] my children, I will continue with you only a short time longer. Then you will look for me, but I will not be here. Just like I told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], I am telling you now, that where I am going, you cannot come [yet].
34 Jeg giver eder en ny Befaling, at I skulle elske hverandre, at ligesom jeg elskede eder, skulle ogsaa I elske hverandre.
Now I am giving you a new commandment: You must love each other. You must love each other in the way that I have loved you.
35 Derpaa skulle alle kende, at I ere mine Disciple, om I have indbyrdes Kærlighed.‟
If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
36 Simon Peter siger til ham: „Herre! hvor gaar du hen?‟ Jesus svarede ham: „Hvor jeg gaar hen, kan du ikke nu følge mig, men siden skal du følge mig.‟
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “The place where I am going, you cannot come with me now, but you will come there later.”
37 Peter siger til ham: „Herre! hvorfor kan jeg ikke følge dig nu? Jeg vil sætte mit Liv til for dig.‟
Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
38 Jesus svarer: „Vil du sætte dit Liv til for mig? Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg dig, Hanen skal ikke gale, førend du har fornægtet mig tre Gange.‟
Jesus answered, “[You say] [RHQ] that you [are ready] to die for me. But the truth is that before the rooster crows [early tomorrow morning], you will say three times that you do not [know] me!”
