< John 13 >

1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, having seen that his hour has come that he would depart out of this world to his Father, having loved his own in the world, he loved them to the end.
Now just before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come when he should leave this world to go to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, showed forth his love to the end.
2 And supper having occurred, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, that he would betray him,
So while supper was proceeding, and the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,
3 Jesus, having seen that the Father has given all the things to him, into his hands, and that he came from God, and goes to God,
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given everything into his hands, and that he was come from God,
4 rises from supper, and set his garments aside, and after taking a towel, he girded himself.
and was now going to God, rose from supper, laid aside his upper garments, and took a towel and girded himself.
5 Then he pours water into the wash-basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself.
6 So he comes to Simon Peter, and that man says to him, Lord, do thou wash my feet?
Then he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou do not know now, but thou will understand after these things.
Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand it later."
8 Peter says to him, Thou may, no, not wash my feet into the age. Jesus answered him, If I may not wash thee, thou have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
Peter answered, "No, never shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," said Jesus, "you have no part in me." (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and head.
"Lord," said Simon Peter, "not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
10 Jesus says to him, He who is bathed has no need to wash the feet either, but is entirely clean. And ye are clean, but not all.
Jesus said. "He who has bathed needs only to have his feet washed, and he is altogether clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."
11 For he knew the man betraying him. Because of this he said, Ye are not all clean.
(For he knew who should betray him, for that reason he said that they were not every one of them clean.)
12 When therefore he washed their feet, and took his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye understand what I have done to you?
So after he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments again, and taken his place, he said to them.
13 Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord. And ye say well, for I am.
"Do you understand what I have been doing to you? You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Master’, and you say well, for such I am.
14 If I then, the Lord and the teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash each other's feet.
If then I have washed your feet, I the ‘Master’ and the ‘Teacher’, you also ought to wash one another’s feet,
15 For I have given you an example, so that just as I have done to you ye also should do.
for I have given you an example, that you also should do what I have done to you.
16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a bondman is not greater than his lord, nor is an apostle greater than he who sent him.
In solemn truth I tell you that a slave is not greater than his master, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sends him.
17 If ye have seen these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
18 I speak not about you all. I have seen whom I chose, but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me lifted up his heel against me.
I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says. "He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.
19 From henceforth I tell you before it happens, so that when it happens, ye may believe that I am.
"From this time forward, I tell you before it comes to pass, that when it is come to pass you may believe who I am.
20 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any man whomever I may send, receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
In solemn truth I tell you, he who receives any one that I send is receiving me; and he who receives me is receiving Him who sent me."
21 Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and testified and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray me.
When he had spoken thus, Jesus was deeply moved. He testified and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 Therefore the disciples looked at each other, being uncertain about whom he speaks.
Then the disciples began looking at one another, wondering which one of them he meant.
23 And one of his disciples whom Jesus loved was sitting at Jesus' bosom.
There was reclining upon Jesus’ breast one of the disciples whom he loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore gestured to this man to inquire whoever he may be about whom he speaks.
So Simon Peter beckoned to him, saying, "Ask who it is about whom he is speaking."
25 And that man, having leaned thus toward Jesus' breast, says to him, Lord, who is he?
So that disciples just leaned back against Jesus’ breast and said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
26 Jesus replies, He is that man to whom I, having dipped the morsel, will give. And when he dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
"It is that one," answered Jesus," to whom I am going to give a piece of bread, after dipping it."
27 And after the morsel, then Satan entered into that man. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou do, do more quickly.
So when he had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon. And after he had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "What you do, do quickly," said Jesus.
28 But no man who was sitting knew why he said this to him.
Now no one at the table understood why he said this to him,
29 For some thought, since Judas had the purse, that Jesus said to him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.
for some were thinking, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus meant to tell him, "Buy the things that we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Therefore having received the morsel, straightaway that man went out, and it was night.
When he had taken the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
31 When he went out, Jesus says, Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
So when he was gone, Jesus said. "Now has the Son of man been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32 If God is glorify in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him straightaway.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and straightway will he glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, ye cannot come, I also now say to you.
"My little children, I am only to be with you a little longer. You will seek me; just as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I go you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that ye should love each other, just as I loved you, so that ye also should love each other.
I give you a new commandment, Love one another!
35 By this all men will know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love among each other.
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another."
36 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where do thou go? Jesus answered him, Where I go, thou cannot follow me now, but thou will follow me afterwards.
Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" "Where I am going," answered Jesus, "you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow me later."
37 Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
"Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" said Peter. "I will lay down my life for you." Jesus answered him.
38 Jesus answered him, Will thou lay down thy life for me? Truly, truly, I say to thee, A cock will, no, not sound, until thou will deny me thrice.
"Your life you will lay down for me? In solemn truth I tell you, the cock shall not crow before you have three times disowned me."
