John 13
1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them to the end.
Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave the world and go to the Father. He had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;
The Devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
and at supper, Jesus — although knowing that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was to return to God —
4 He rises from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
Rose from his place, and, taking off his upper garments, tied a towel round his waist.
5 After that he pours water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
He then poured some water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel which was tied round him.
6 Then comes he to Simon Peter: and Peter says to him, Lord, do you wash my feet?
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said: “You, Master! Are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you know not now; but you shall know hereafter.
“You do not understand now what I am doing,” replied Jesus, “but you will learn by and by.”
8 Peter says to him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash you not, you have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
“You shall never wash my feet!” exclaimed Peter. “Unless I wash you,” answered Jesus, “you have nothing in common with me.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
“Then, Master, not my feet only,” exclaimed Simon Peter, “but also my hands and my head.”
10 Jesus says to him, He that is washed needs not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and you are clean, but not all.
“He who has bathed,” replied Jesus, “has no need to wash, unless it be his feet, but is altogether clean; and you,” he said to the disciples, “are clean, yet not all of you.”
11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, You are not all clean.
For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said ‘You are not all clean.’
12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said to them, Know you what I have done to you?
When he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments and taken his place, he spoke to them again. “Do you understand what I have been doing to you?” he asked.
13 You call me Master and Lord: and you say well; for so I am.
“You yourselves call me ‘the Teacher’ and ‘the Master’, and you are right, for I am both.
14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
If I, then — ‘the Master’ and ‘the Teacher’ — have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet;
15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
for I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.
16 Truly, truly, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
In truth I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor yet a messenger than the man who sends him.
17 If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.
I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but this is in fulfilment of the words of Scripture — ‘He that is eating my bread has lifted his heel against me.’
19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
For the future I shall tell you of things before they take place, so that, when they take place, you may believe that I am what I am.
20 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that receives whomsoever I send receives me; and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
In truth I tell you, he who receives any one that I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me.”
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.
After saying this, Jesus was much troubled, and said solemnly: “In truth I tell you that it is one of you who will betray me.”
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.
The disciples looked at one another, wondering whom he meant.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
Next to Jesus, in the place on his right hand, was one of his disciples, whom he loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spoke.
So Simon Peter made signs to that disciple, and whispered: “Tell me who it is that he means.”
25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast says to him, Lord, who is it?
Being in this position, that disciple leant back on Jesus’ shoulder, and asked him: “Who is it, Master?”
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
“It is the one,” answered Jesus, “to whom I shall give a piece of bread after dipping it in the dish.” And, when Jesus had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot;
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus to him, That you do, do quickly.
and it was then, after he had received it, that Satan took possession of him. So Jesus said to him: “Do at once what you are going to do.”
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spoke this to him.
But no one at table understood why he said this to Judas.
29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said to him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
Some thought that, as Judas kept the purse, Jesus meant that he was to buy some things needed for the Festival, or to give something to the poor.
30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
After taking the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
When Judas had gone out, Jesus said: “Now the Son of Man has been exalted, and God has been exalted through him;
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
and God will exalt him with himself — yes, he will exalt him forthwith.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come; so now I say to you.
My children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. You will look for me; and what I said to the Jews — ‘You cannot come where I am going’ — I now say to you.
34 A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
I give you a new commandment — Love one another; love one another as I have loved you.
35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.
It is by this that every one will recognise you as my disciples — by your loving one another.”
36 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where go you? Jesus answered him, Where I go, you can not follow me now; but you shall follow me afterwards.
“Where are you going, Master?” asked Peter. “I am going where you cannot now follow me,” answered Jesus, “but you shall follow me later.”
37 Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.
“Why cannot I follow you now, Master?” asked Peter. “I will lay down my life for you.”
38 Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The cock shall not crow, till you have denied me thrice.
“Will you lay down your life for me?” replied Jesus. “In truth I tell you, the cock will not crow till you have disowned me three times.
