< John 13 >

1 When it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and [to return] to [his] Father [in heaven]. He loved us who [were his disciples]. He knew [we would continue to live here] in this world, so now he [showed us] how completely he loved us.
ⲁ̅ⲁϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϣⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
2 We were eating [the Passover meal]. (The devil/Satan) had already suggested to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the son of Simon, that he should (betray Jesus/enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱ ⲉϥϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϩⲏ ⲧ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲛⲁⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲣⲓⲱⲧⲏⲥ.
3 But Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority [to control the situation]. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ϯ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϥϫⲓϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲁ ⲫϯ.
4 [But before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other]. [So] he got up from where he was eating. He took off his [outer] cloak and wrapped a [long] towel around his waist, [as a slave would do].
ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲇⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲁϥ ⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲗⲉⲛⲧⲓⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲣϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
5 Then he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲗⲁⲕⲁⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲓⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥϥⲱϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲉⲛⲧⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲙⲏⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
6 When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you [RHQ] to [humble yourself by] washing my feet!”
ⲋ̅ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲓⲁ ⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲓⲁ ⲣⲁⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉϯⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⳿ⲕⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲉⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ.
8 Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲓⲁ ⲣⲁⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲓⲁ ⲣⲁⲧⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉⲕ ⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ. (aiōn g165)
9 So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, [in that case], do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, [too]!”
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲁⲕⲉϫⲓϫ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲁ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ.
10 [Then, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins] [MET], Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, [because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads]. The [rest of their bodies are] clean. Similarly, I have made you [disciples] free/clean [from the guilt of your sins], although not all of you are free from guilt.”
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲕⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲓⲁ ⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
11 He knew which one [of us] was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”

12 After he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?

13 You [show that you respect me by] calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.

14 But if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to [serve each other by doing things like] washing each other’s feet.

15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.

16 Listen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. [So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other].

18 “I am not saying that [God will bless] all of you. I knew [what all of you were like when] I chose you. But [I also chose the one who will betray me], in order that what is written in Scripture might be fulfilled {to fulfill what someone/the psalmist wrote in Scripture}, ‘The one who is [acting like he is my friend by] eating with me has become my enemy [IDM].’

20 Listen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, [God will consider that] they are accepting me. And those who accept me, [God will consider that] they are accepting [my Father], who sent me.”

21 After Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He solemnly declared, “Listen to this carefully: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲏⲓⲧ.
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.

23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁϥⲣⲟⲧⲉⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲕⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥϭⲱⲣⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲉⲛϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ.
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ.
26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I dip it [in the sauce in the dish].” Then, [to show us that he knew who would enable his enemies to seize him], after he dipped the bread [in the sauce], he gave it to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]).
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲁⲥⲉⲡ ⲡⲓⲗⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲉⲡ ⲡⲓⲗⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲣⲓⲱⲧⲏⲥ.
27 As soon as [Judas ate] the bread, Satan took control of him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲗⲱⲙ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁⲁⲓϥ ⲁⲣⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ.
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.

29 Since Judas took care of the money [people gave us to help us], some thought Jesus was telling him to [go and] buy some things we needed for the [Passover] celebration. [Some thought he was telling him] to give some money to poor people.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲅⲗⲱⲥⲟⲕⲟⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲁⲓ ⲓⲉ ϫⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ.
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].

31 After Judas left, Jesus said, “Now it will be shown {[my Father] will show} how wonderful I, the one who came from heaven, am. And by what I do it will be seen {people will see} how great God is.

32 Since by what I do people will see how awesome God is, God himself will show people how awesome I am. And he will do that very soon.

33 [You whom I love as though you were] my children, I will continue with you only a short time longer. Then you will look for me, but I will not be here. Just like I told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], I am telling you now, that where I am going, you cannot come [yet].
