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.
Πρὸ δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς τοῦ Πάσχα, εἰδὼς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἦλθεν αὐτοῦ ἡ ὥρα, ἵνα μεταβῇ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα, ἀγαπήσας τοὺς ἰδίους τοὺς ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, εἰς τέλος ἠγάπησεν αὐτούς.
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.
Καὶ δείπνου γινομένου, τοῦ διαβόλου ἤδη βεβληκότος εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ἵνα παραδῷ αὐτὸν Ἰούδας Σίμωνος Ἰσκαριώτης,
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.
εἰδὼς ὅτι πάντα δέδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ Πατὴρ εἰς τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ ˚Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθεν καὶ πρὸς τὸν ˚Θεὸν ὑπάγει,
4 So Jesus stood up from eating supper, took off his robe and wrapped a towel around his waist.
ἐγείρεται ἐκ τοῦ δείπνου καὶ τίθησιν τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ λαβὼν λέντιον διέζωσεν ἑαυτόν.
5 He poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had wrapped around him.
Εἶτα βάλλει ὕδωρ εἰς τὸν νιπτῆρα, καὶ ἤρξατο νίπτειν τοὺς πόδας τῶν μαθητῶν, καὶ ἐκμάσσειν τῷ λεντίῳ ᾧ ἦν διεζωσμένος.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
Ἔρχεται οὖν πρὸς Σίμωνα Πέτρον. Λέγει αὐτῷ, “˚Κύριε, σύ μου νίπτεις τοὺς πόδας;”
7 Jesus replied, “You won't realize what I'm doing for you now. But one day you'll understand.”
Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ὃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ, σὺ οὐκ οἶδας ἄρτι, γνώσῃ δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα.”
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)
Λέγει αὐτῷ Πέτρος, “Οὐ μὴ νίψῃς μου τοὺς πόδας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.” Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς αὐτῷ, “Ἐὰν μὴ νίψω σε, οὐκ ἔχεις μέρος μετʼ ἐμοῦ.” (aiōn g165)
9 “Then, Lord, wash not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Simon Peter exclaimed.
Λέγει αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος, “˚Κύριε, μὴ τοὺς πόδας μου μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν κεφαλήν.”
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.”
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ὁ λελουμένος οὐκ ἔχει χρείαν, εἰ μὴ τοὺς πόδας νίψασθαι, ἀλλʼ ἔστιν καθαρὸς ὅλος· καὶ ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστε, ἀλλʼ οὐχὶ πάντες.”
11 For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
ἬΙδει γὰρ τὸν παραδιδόντα αὐτόν· διὰ τοῦτο εἶπεν, ὅτι “Οὐχὶ πάντες καθαροί ἐστε.”
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.
Ὅτε οὖν ἔνιψεν τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔλαβεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέπεσεν, πάλιν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Γινώσκετε τί πεποίηκα ὑμῖν;
13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that's who I am.
Ὑμεῖς φωνεῖτέ με ὁ ‘Διδάσκαλος’ καὶ, ὁ ‘˚Κύριος’, καὶ καλῶς λέγετε, εἰμὶ γάρ.
14 So if I, your Teacher and Lord, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.
Εἰ οὖν ἐγὼ ἔνιψα ὑμῶν τοὺς πόδας, ὁ ˚Κύριος καὶ ὁ Διδάσκαλος, καὶ ὑμεῖς ὀφείλετε ἀλλήλων νίπτειν τοὺς πόδας.
15 I have set you an example, so you should do just as I did.
Ὑπόδειγμα γὰρ ἔδωκα ὑμῖν ἵνα καθὼς ἐγὼ ἐποίησα ὑμῖν, καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιῆτε.
16 I tell you the truth, servants are not more important than their master, and the one sent is not greater than the sender.
Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ ἔστιν δοῦλος μείζων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἀπόστολος μείζων τοῦ πέμψαντος αὐτόν.
17 Now that you understand these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
Εἰ ταῦτα οἴδατε, μακάριοί ἐστε ἐὰν ποιῆτε αὐτά.
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.’
Οὐ περὶ πάντων ὑμῶν λέγω. Ἐγὼ οἶδα οὓς ἐξελεξάμην, ἀλλʼ ἵνα ἡ Γραφὴ πληρωθῇ, ‘Ὁ τρώγων μετʼ ἐμοῦ τὸν ἄρτον, ἐπῆρεν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τὴν πτέρναν αὐτοῦ.’
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.
Ἀπʼ ἄρτι λέγω ὑμῖν πρὸ τοῦ γενέσθαι, ἵνα πιστεύσητε ὅταν γένηται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι.
20 I tell you the truth, whoever welcomes anyone I send welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me.”
Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ λαμβάνων ἄν τινα πέμψω, ἐμὲ λαμβάνει, ὁ δὲ ἐμὲ λαμβάνων, λαμβάνει τὸν πέμψαντά με.”
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.”
Ταῦτα εἰπὼν, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐταράχθη τῷ πνεύματι καὶ ἐμαρτύρησεν καὶ εἶπεν, “Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με.”
22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering which of them Jesus was talking about.
Ἔβλεπον οὖν εἰς ἀλλήλους οἱ μαθηταὶ, ἀπορούμενοι περὶ τίνος λέγει.
23 The disciple whom Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table, leaning close him.
Ἦν δὲ ἀνακείμενος εἷς ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς.
24 Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one he was talking about.
Νεύει οὖν τούτῳ Σίμων Πέτρος, πυθέσθαι τίς ἂν εἴη περὶ οὗ λέγει.
25 So he leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
Ἐπιπεσὼν οὖν ἐκεῖνος οὕτως ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ, λέγει αὐτῷ, “˚Κύριε, τίς ἐστιν;”
26 Jesus replied, “It's the one to whom I will give a piece of bread after I have dipped it.”
Ἀποκρίνεται ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν ᾧ ἐγὼ, βάψας τὸ ψωμίον ἐπιδώσω.” Καὶ βάψας τὸ ψωμίον, δίδωσιν Ἰούδᾳ Σίμωνος Ἰσκαριώτου.
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.
Καὶ μετὰ τὸ ψωμίον, τότε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς ἐκεῖνον ὁ Σατανᾶς. Λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ὃ ποιεῖς, ποίησον τάχιον.”
28 No one at the table understood what Jesus meant by this.
Τοῦτο δὲ οὐδεὶς ἔγνω τῶν ἀνακειμένων, πρὸς τί εἶπεν αὐτῷ.
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.
Τινὲς γὰρ ἐδόκουν, ἐπεὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον εἶχεν Ἰούδας, ὅτι λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀγόρασον ὧν χρείαν ἔχομεν εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν”, ἢ τοῖς πτωχοῖς, ἵνα τι δῷ.
30 Judas left immediately after he'd taken the piece of bread, and went out into the night.
Λαβὼν οὖν τὸ ψωμίον, ἐκεῖνος ἐξῆλθεν εὐθύς. Ἦν δὲ νύξ.
31 After he'd left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of man is glorified, and through him God is glorified.
Ὅτε οὖν ἐξῆλθεν, λέγει ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Νῦν ἐδοξάσθη ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν αὐτῷ.
32 If God is glorified through him, then God will glorify the Son himself, and will glorify him immediately.
Καὶ ὁ ˚Θεὸς δοξάσει αὐτὸν ἐν αὑτῷ, καὶ εὐθὺς δοξάσει αὐτόν.
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.
Τεκνία, ἔτι μικρὸν μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰμι. Ζητήσετέ με, καὶ καθὼς εἶπον τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, ὅτι ‘Ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν’, καὶ ὑμῖν λέγω ἄρτι.
34 I am giving you a new command: Love one another. Love one another in the same way I have loved you.
Ἐντολὴν καινὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν, ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους, καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς, ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους.
35 If you love one another you will prove to everyone that you are my disciples.”
Ἐν τούτῳ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐμοὶ μαθηταί ἐστε, ἐὰν ἀγάπην ἔχητε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.”
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.”
Λέγει αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος, “˚Κύριε, ποῦ ὑπάγεις;” Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ὅπου ὑπάγω, οὐ δύνασαί μοι νῦν ἀκολουθῆσαι, ἀκολουθήσεις δὲ ὕστερον.”
37 “Lord, why can't I follow you now?” Peter asked. “I'll lay down my life for you.”
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος, “˚Κύριε, διὰ τί οὐ δύναμαί σοι ἀκολουθῆσαι ἄρτι; Τὴν ψυχήν μου ὑπὲρ σοῦ θήσω.”
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.
Ἀποκρίνεται ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Τὴν ψυχήν σου ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ θήσεις; Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἀλέκτωρ φωνήσῃ, ἕως οὗ ἀρνήσῃ με τρίς.
