< 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.
And before the Celebration of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour has come, that He may depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who [are] in the world—to the end He loved them.
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 dinner having come, the Devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver Him up,
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.
Jesus knowing that all things the Father has given to Him—into [His] hands, and that He came forth from God, and He goes to God,
4 So He got up from the supper, laid aside His outer garments, and wrapped a towel around His waist.
rises from the dinner, and lays down His garments, and having taken a towel, He 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.
afterward He puts water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of His disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which He was being girded.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”
He comes, therefore, to Simon Peter, and that one says to Him, “Lord, You—do You 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, “That which I do you have not known now, but you will know after these things”;
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 says to Him, “You may not wash my feet—throughout the age.” Jesus answered him, “If I may not wash you, you 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 says to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the 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 says to him, “He who has been bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; 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 him who is delivering Him up; because of this 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?
When, therefore, He washed their feet, and took His garments, having reclined again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, because I am.
You call Me the Teacher and the LORD, and you say well, for 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 washed your feet—the LORD and the Teacher—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 gave to you an example, that, according as I did to you, you also may do;
16 Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;
17 If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
if you have known these things, you are blessed if you may 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 do not speak concerning you all; I have known whom I chose for Myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with Me, lifted 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.
From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, you may believe that I AM;
20 Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me.”
truly, truly, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, receives Me; and he who is receiving Me, receives Him who 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.”
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 deliver Me up”;
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed as to which of them He meant.
the disciples were looking, therefore, at one another, doubting concerning of whom He speaks.
23 One of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at His side.
And there was one of His disciples reclining in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;
24 So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one He was talking about.
Simon Peter, then, beckons to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom He speaks,
25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”
and that one having leaned back on the breast of Jesus, responds 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 answers, “It is that one to whom I, having dipped the morsel, will give it”; and having dipped the morsel, He gives [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.
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, then Satan entered into that one. Jesus, therefore, says to him, “What you do—do quickly”;
28 But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.
and none of those reclining to eat knew for what intent He said this to 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 certain [of them] were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus says to him, “Buy what we have need of for the celebration”; or that he may give something to the poor;
30 As soon as he had received the morsel, Judas went out into the night.
having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, 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, therefore, he went forth, Jesus says, “Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was 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 was glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself; indeed, He will immediately 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] am I with you; you will seek Me, and according as I said to the Jews, I also say to you now: To where I go away, you are not able to come.
34 A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.
A new command I give to you, that you love one another; according as I loved you, that you also love one another;
35 By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
in this will all know that you are My disciples, if you may have love one to 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 says to Him, “Lord, to where do You go away?” Jesus answered him, “To where I go away, you are not able now to follow Me, but afterward you will follow Me.”
37 “Lord,” said Peter, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.”
Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You now? I will lay down my life for You”;
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, “You will lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you may deny Me three times.”
