John 13
1 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.
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 dinner having come, the Devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver Him up,
The Devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;
3 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,
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 rises from the dinner, and lays down His garments, and having taken a towel, He girded Himself;
Rose from his place, and, taking off his upper garments, tied a towel round his waist.
5 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.
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 He comes, therefore, to Simon Peter, and that one says to Him, “Lord, You—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, “That which I do you have not known now, but you will know after these things”;
“You do not understand now what I am doing,” replied Jesus, “but you will learn by and by.”
8 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)
“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 the hands and the head.”
“Then, Master, not my feet only,” exclaimed Simon Peter, “but also my hands and my head.”
10 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”;
“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 him who is delivering Him up; because of this He said, “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 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?
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 the Teacher and the LORD, and you say well, for I am;
“You yourselves call me ‘the Teacher’ and ‘the Master’, and you are right, for I am both.
14 if then I washed your feet—the LORD and the Teacher—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 gave to you an example, that, according as I did to you, you also may do;
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, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who 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 have known these things, you are blessed if you may do them;
Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
18 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.
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 From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, you may believe that I AM;
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 who is receiving whomsoever I may send, receives Me; and he who is receiving Me, receives Him who 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 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”;
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 the disciples were looking, therefore, at one another, doubting concerning of whom He speaks.
The disciples looked at one another, wondering whom he meant.
23 And there was one of His disciples reclining in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;
Next to Jesus, in the place on his right hand, was one of his disciples, whom he loved.
24 Simon Peter, then, beckons to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom He speaks,
So Simon Peter made signs to that disciple, and whispered: “Tell me who it is that he means.”
25 and that one having leaned back on the breast of Jesus, responds 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 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.
“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 morsel, then Satan entered into that one. Jesus, therefore, says to him, “What 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 and none of those reclining to eat knew for what intent He said this to him,
But no one at table understood why he said this to Judas.
29 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;
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 having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.
After taking the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
31 When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus says, “Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was 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 was glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself; indeed, He will immediately glorify Him.
and God will exalt him with himself — yes, he will exalt him forthwith.
33 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.
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 command I give to you, that you love one another; according as I 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 in this will all know that you are My disciples, if you may 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 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.”
“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 says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You now? I will lay down my life for You”;
“Why cannot I follow you now, Master?” asked Peter. “I will lay down my life for you.”
38 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.”
“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.
