John 13
1 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.
Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, having seen that his hour has come that he would depart out of this world to his Father, having loved his own in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 The devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;
And supper having occurred, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, that he would betray him,
3 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 –
Jesus, having seen that the Father has given all the things to him, into his hands, and that he came from God, and goes to God,
4 rose from his place, and, taking off his upper garments, tied a towel round his waist.
rises from supper, and set his garments aside, and after taking a towel, he girded himself.
5 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.
Then he pours water into the wash-basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
6 When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said, ‘You, Master! Are you going to wash my feet?’
So he comes to Simon Peter, and that man says to him, Lord, do thou wash my feet?
7 ‘You do not understand now what I am doing,’ replied Jesus, ‘but you will learn by and by.’
Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou do not know now, but thou will understand after these things.
8 ‘You will never wash my feet!’ exclaimed Peter. ‘Unless I wash you,’ answered Jesus, ‘you have nothing in common with me.’ (aiōn g165)
Peter says to him, Thou may, no, not wash my feet into the age. Jesus answered him, If I may not wash thee, thou have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 ‘Then, Master, not my feet only,’ exclaimed Simon Peter, ‘but also my hands and my head.’
Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and head.
10 ‘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.’
Jesus says to him, He who is bathed has no need to wash the feet either, but is entirely clean. And ye are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said “You are not all clean.”
For he knew the man betraying him. Because of this he said, Ye are not all clean.
12 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.
When therefore he washed their feet, and took his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye understand what I have done to you?
13 ‘You yourselves call me “the teacher” and “the Master”, and you are right, for I am both.
Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord. And ye say well, for I am.
14 If I, then – “the Master” and “the teacher” – have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet;
If I then, the Lord and the teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash each other's feet.
15 for I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.
For I have given you an example, so that just as I have done to you ye also should do.
16 In truth I tell you, a servant is not greater than their master, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sends them.
Truly, truly, I say to you, a bondman is not greater than his lord, nor is an apostle greater than he who sent him.
17 Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
If ye have seen these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
18 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.”
I speak not about you all. I have seen whom I chose, but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me lifted up his heel against me.
19 For the future I will tell you of things before they take place, so that, when they take place, you may believe that I am what I am.
From henceforth I tell you before it happens, so that when it happens, ye may believe that I am.
20 In truth I tell you, the one who receives anyone that I send receives me; and the person who receives me receives him who sent me.’
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any man whomever I may send, receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
21 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.’
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 betray me.
22 The disciples looked at one another, wondering whom he meant.
Therefore the disciples looked at each other, being uncertain about whom he speaks.
23 Next to Jesus, in the place on his right hand, was one of his disciples, whom he loved.
And one of his disciples whom Jesus loved was sitting at Jesus' bosom.
24 So Simon Peter made signs to that disciple, and whispered, ‘Tell me who it is that he means.’
Simon Peter therefore gestured to this man to inquire whoever he may be about whom he speaks.
25 Being in this position, that disciple leant back on Jesus’ shoulder, and asked him, ‘Who is it, Master?’
And that man, having leaned thus toward Jesus' breast, says to him, Lord, who is he?
26 ‘It is the one,’ answered Jesus, ‘to whom I will 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;
Jesus replies, He is that man to whom I, having dipped the morsel, will give. And when he dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 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.’
And after the morsel, then Satan entered into that man. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou do, do more quickly.
28 But no one at the table understood why he said this to Judas.
But no man who was sitting knew why he said this to him.
29 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.
For some thought, since Judas had the purse, that Jesus said to him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.
30 After taking the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
Therefore having received the morsel, straightaway that man went out, and it was night.
31 When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now the Son of Man has been exalted, and God has been exalted through him;
When he went out, Jesus says, Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 and God will exalt him with himself – yes, he will exalt him forthwith.
If God is glorify in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him straightaway.
33 My children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. You will look for me; and what I said to the people – “You cannot come where I am going” – I now say to you.
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, ye cannot come, I also now say to you.
34 I give you a new commandment – love one another; love one another as I have loved you.
A new commandment I give to you, that ye should love each other, just as I loved you, so that ye also should love each other.
35 It is by this that everyone will recognise you as my disciples – by your loving one another.’
By this all men will know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love among each other.
36 ‘Where are you going, Master?’ asked Peter. ‘I am going where you cannot now follow me,’ answered Jesus, ‘but you will follow me later.’
Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where do thou go? Jesus answered him, Where I go, thou cannot follow me now, but thou will follow me afterwards.
37 ‘Why cannot I follow you now, Master?’ asked Peter. ‘I will lay down my life for you.’
Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
38 ‘Will you lay down your life for me?’ replied Jesus. ‘In truth I tell you, the cock will not crow until you have disowned me three times.
Jesus answered him, Will thou lay down thy life for me? Truly, truly, I say to thee, A cock will, no, not sound, until thou will deny me thrice.
