< 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.
Now, before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come, that he should remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own that were in the world, unto the end, 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, supper, being in progress, the adversary, having already thrust into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot, that he should 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 had given unto him, into his hands, and that, from God, he had come, and, unto God, he was going,
4 So He got up from the supper, laid aside His outer garments, and wrapped a towel around His waist.
rouseth himself out of the supper, and layeth aside his garments, and taking a linen cloth, 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.
Next, he poureth water into the wash-basin, and began to be washing the feet of the disciples, and to be wiping them with the linen cloth wherewith he was girded.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”
So he cometh unto Simon Peter. He saith unto 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 unto him—What, I, am doing, thou, knowest not, as yet; howbeit, thou shalt got to 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 unto him—In nowise shalt thou, ever, wash my feet. Jesus answered him—If I wash thee not, thou hast 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 unto him—Lord! not my feet only, but my hands also, 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 unto him—He that hath bathed himself, hath no need [save as to the feet] to get washed; but is pure, as a whole. And, ye, are, pure, but not ye, all.
11 For He knew who would betray Him. That is why He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
For he know the man that was delivering him up; therefore, said he—Not ye all, are pure.
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 had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and reclined, again said he unto them—Are ye taking note, what I have done unto you?
13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, because I am.
Ye, call me, The Teacher, and, The Lord, —and, well, say, 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, have washed your feet, —[I] The Lord, and, The Teacher, ye 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, an example, have I given you, —that, just as, I, did unto you, ye also, should be doing.
16 Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
Verily, verily, I say unto you—A servant is not greater than his lord, neither one sent forth greater than he that sent him.
17 If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
If, these things, ye know, happy, are ye, if ye be doing 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.’
Not, concerning you all, am I speaking, —for, I, know of whom I made choice; but…that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled: He that feedeth on my bread, hath lifted up against me, his heel.
19 I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am He.
Henceforth, I tell you, before it cometh to pass, —that ye may believe, whensoever it doth come to pass, 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.”
Verily, verily, I say unto you—He that receiveth whomsoever I shall 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.”
These things, having said, Jesus, was troubled in spirit, and bare witness, and said—Verily, verily, I say unto you—One from among you, will deliver me up.
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed as to which of them He meant.
The disciples began to look one at another, being at a loss concerning whom he was speaking.
23 One of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at His side.
One of Jesus’ disciples was reclining in his bosom, one whom Jesus loved:
24 So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one He was talking about.
so Simon Peter beckoneth unto the same, and saith unto him—Say, Who is it? concerning whom he speaketh.
25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”
He, falling back thus, upon the breast of Jesus, saith unto 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, therefore, answereth—That one, it is, for whom, I, shall dip the morsel, and give unto him. So, dipping the morsel, he taketh and giveth it unto Judas, son 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, entered, Satan, into that man. Jesus, therefore, saith unto him—What thou art doing, do quickly!
28 But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.
But, as to this, none of them who were reclining with him knew respecting what, he said it 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, some, were thinking, since Judas held the bag, that Jesus was saying to him—Buy the things of which we have, need, for the feast; or that, unto the destitute, he should give something.
30 As soon as he had received the morsel, Judas went out into the night.
So, he, taking the morsel, went out straightway; —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 had gone out, Jesus saith—Just 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.
And, God, will glorify him, in himself, —and, straightway, 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.’
Dear children! Yet a little, am I, with you. Ye shall seek me, and, just as I said unto the Jews, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come, unto you also, I say it, even 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, give I unto you, —That ye be loving one another: Just as I loved you, that, ye also, be loving one another:
35 By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
By this, shall all men take knowledge, that, my disciples, ye are, —If ye 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 saith unto him—Lord! whither dost thou withdraw? Jesus answered—Whither I withdraw, thou canst not, now, follow me, 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 unto him—Lord! why, cannot I follow thee, even now? My life, in thy behalf, will I lay down.
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 answereth—Thy life, in my behalf, wilt thou lay down? Verily, verily, I say unto thee—In nowise shall a cock crow till thou hast denied me, thrice.
