John 13
1 It was the day before the Passover festival, and Jesus knew that the time had come to leave this world and go to his Father. He had loved those in the world who were his own, and he now demonstrated his complete and utter love for them.
Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 It was during supper, and the devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.
And during the meal, the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.
3 Jesus knew that the Father had placed everything under his authority, and that he had come from God and was going back to God.
Because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,
4 So Jesus stood up from eating supper, took off his robe and wrapped a towel around his waist.
arose from the meal, and removed his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 He poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had wrapped around him.
Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
7 Jesus replied, “You won't realize what I'm doing for you now. But one day you'll understand.”
Jesus answered him, "You do not know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."
8 “No!” Peter protested. “You'll never wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “If I don't wash you, you have no part with me.” (aiōn g165)
Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with me." (aiōn g165)
9 “Then, Lord, wash not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Simon Peter exclaimed.
Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
10 Jesus responded, “Those who have had a bath only need to wash their feet and then they're clean all over. You are clean—but not all of you.”
Jesus said to him, "Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you."
11 For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean."
12 After Jesus had washed their feet, he put his robe back on, and sat down. “Do you understand what I've done to you?” he asked them.
So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that's who I am.
You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am.
14 So if I, your Teacher and Lord, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.
If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 I have set you an example, so you should do just as I did.
For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.
16 I tell you the truth, servants are not more important than their master, and the one sent is not greater than the sender.
Truly, truly, I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17 Now that you understand these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18 I'm not talking about all of you—I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill Scripture: ‘The one who shares my food has turned against me.’
I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
19 I'm telling you this now, before it happens, so when it does happen you will be convinced that I am who I am.
I am telling you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he.
20 I tell you the truth, whoever welcomes anyone I send welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me.”
Truly, truly, I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me."
21 After he had said this, Jesus was deeply troubled, and declared: “I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me.”
When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering which of them Jesus was talking about.
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23 The disciple whom Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table, leaning close him.
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining against Jesus' chest.
24 Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one he was talking about.
Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to inquire who it was he was talking about.
25 So he leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' chest, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"
26 Jesus replied, “It's the one to whom I will give a piece of bread after I have dipped it.”
Jesus therefore answered, "It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 After dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. Once Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered him. “What you're going to do, do it quickly,” Jesus told him.
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
28 No one at the table understood what Jesus meant by this.
Now none of those reclining knew why he said this to him.
29 Since Judas was in charge of the money some of them thought that Jesus was telling him to go and buy what was needed for the Passover festival, or to donate something to the poor.
For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Judas left immediately after he'd taken the piece of bread, and went out into the night.
Therefore, having received the piece of bread, he went out immediately; and it was night.
31 After he'd left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of man is glorified, and through him God is glorified.
When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32 If God is glorified through him, then God will glorify the Son himself, and will glorify him immediately.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once.
33 My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, but I'm telling you now just as I told the Jews: you cannot come where I'm going.
Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jewish leaders, 'Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I tell you.
34 I am giving you a new command: Love one another. Love one another in the same way I have loved you.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also must love one another.
35 If you love one another you will prove to everyone that you are my disciples.”
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
36 Simon Peter asked him, “Where are you going, Lord?” Jesus answered, “You can't follow me now where I'm going. You will follow me later.”
Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow afterwards."
37 “Lord, why can't I follow you now?” Peter asked. “I'll lay down my life for you.”
Peter said to him, "Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
38 “Are you really ready to die for me? I tell you the truth: before the cock crows you will deny me three times,” Jesus replied.
Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have denied me three times.
