< John 13 >

1 Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
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 And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s [son], to betray him,
And during the meal, the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.
3 [Jesus], knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto 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 riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself.
arose from the meal, and removed his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 Then he poureth water into the bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
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 So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter.
Jesus answered him, "You do not know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast 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 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
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 him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean."
12 So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
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 Ye call me, Master, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Master, have washed your feet, ye also 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 For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you.
For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him.
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 If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
If you know these things, blessed 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 eateth my bread lifted up his heel 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 From henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he].
I am telling you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that 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 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall 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 one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23 There was at the table reclining in Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining against Jesus' chest.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell [us] who it is of whom he speaketh.
Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to inquire who it was he was talking about.
25 He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' chest, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"
26 Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, [the son] of Simon Iscariot.
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 And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
Now none of those reclining knew why he said this to him.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give 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 He then having received the sop went out straightway: and it was night.
Therefore, having received the piece of bread, he went out immediately; and it was night.
31 When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him;
When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32 and God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he glorify him.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto you.
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 A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
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 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
36 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow afterwards.
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 Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee.
Peter said to him, "Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
38 Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
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.
