< John 13 >

1 It was now just before the Passover Feast, and Jesus knew that His hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the very end.
Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2 The evening meal was underway, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
And when supper was done, (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him, )
3 Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.
Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God;
4 So He got up from the supper, laid aside His outer garments, and wrapped a towel around His waist.
He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself.
5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel that was around Him.
After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”
He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 “Never shall You wash my feet!” Peter told Him. Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.” (aiōn g165)
Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well!”
Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus told him, “Whoever has already bathed needs only to wash his feet, and he will be completely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.”
Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.
11 For He knew who would betray Him. That is why He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.
12 When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His outer garments, He reclined with them again and asked, “Do you know what I have done for you?
Then after he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?
13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, because I am.
You call me Master, and Lord; and you say well, for so I am.
14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you.
For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.
16 Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
17 If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
18 I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’
I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me, shall lift up his heel against me.
19 I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am He.
At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
20 Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me.”
Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
21 After Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit and testified, “Truly, truly, I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”
When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, one of you shall betray me.
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed as to which of them He meant.
The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke.
23 One of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at His side.
Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one He was talking about.
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him: Who is it of whom he speaketh?
25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”
He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this morsel after I have dipped it.” Then He dipped the morsel and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And when Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly.
28 But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.
Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said this unto him.
29 Since Judas kept the money bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.
For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor.
30 As soon as he had received the morsel, Judas went out into the night.
He therefore having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night.
31 When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify the Son in Himself—and will glorify Him at once.
If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself; and immediately will he glorify him.
33 Little children, I am with you only a little while longer. You will look for Me, and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me; and as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to you now.
34 A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.
A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
36 “Lord, where are You going?” Simon Peter asked. Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now, but you will follow later.”
Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow hereafter.
37 “Lord,” said Peter, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.”
Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
38 “Will you lay down your life for Me?” Jesus replied. “Truly, truly, I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.
Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice.
