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 this incident took place. Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them 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,
While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought of betraying Him, Jesus,
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,
although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,
4 rises from supper, and set his garments aside, and after taking a towel, he girded himself.
rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took a towel and tied it round Him.
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 a basin, and proceeded to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel which He had put round Him.
6 So he comes to Simon Peter, and that man says to him, Lord, do thou wash my feet?
When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said, "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.
"What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do not know, but afterwards you shall know."
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)
"Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus, "you have no share with me." (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and head.
"Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, 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.
"Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over. And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true of 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 was betraying Him, and that was why He said, "You are not all of you 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, put on His garments again, and returned to the table, He said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord. And ye say well, for I am.
You call me 'The Rabbi' and 'The Master,' and rightly so, 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 I then, your Master and Rabbi, have washed your feet, it is also your duty 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 set you an example in order that you may 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 most solemn truth I tell you that a servant is not superior to his master, nor is a messenger superior to him who sent him.
17 If ye have seen these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
If you know all this, blessed are you if you act accordingly.
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 am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order 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 things before they happen, in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.
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 most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives 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.
After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said with deep earnestness, "In most 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.
The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know to which of them He was referring.
23 And one of his disciples whom Jesus loved was sitting at Jesus' bosom.
There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved-- reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.
24 Simon Peter therefore gestured to this man to inquire whoever he may be about whom he speaks.
Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us to whom he is referring."
25 And that man, having leaned thus toward Jesus' breast, says to him, Lord, who is he?
So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, "Master, 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 the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.
27 And after the morsel, then Satan entered into that man. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou do, do more quickly.
Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him.
28 But no man who was sitting knew why he said this to him.
But why He said this no one else at the table understood.
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.
Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Therefore having received the morsel, straightaway that man went out, and it was night.
So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. 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 out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 If God is glorify in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him straightaway.
Moreover God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him without delay.
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.
Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going you cannot come,' so for the present 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.
A new commandment I give you, to love one another; that as I have loved you, you also may love one another.
35 By this all men will know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love among each other.
It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples--if you love one 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.
"Master," inquired Simon Peter, "where are you going?" "Where I am going," replied Jesus, "you cannot be my follower now, but you shall be later."
37 Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
"Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.
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.
"You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!" said Jesus; "in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow before you have three times disowned me."
