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.
προ δε τησ εορτησ του πασχα ειδωσ ο ιησουσ οτι εληλυθεν αυτου η ωρα ινα μεταβη εκ του κοσμου τουτου προσ τον πατερα αγαπησασ τουσ ιδιουσ τουσ εν τω κοσμω εισ τελοσ ηγαπησεν αυτουσ
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).
και δειπνου γενομενου του διαβολου ηδη βεβληκοτοσ εισ την καρδιαν ιουδα σιμωνοσ ισκαριωτου ινα αυτον παραδω
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.
ειδωσ ο ιησουσ οτι παντα δεδωκεν αυτω ο πατηρ εισ τασ χειρασ και οτι απο θεου εξηλθεν και προσ τον θεον υπαγει
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].
εγειρεται εκ του δειπνου και τιθησιν τα ιματια και λαβων λεντιον διεζωσεν εαυτον
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.
ειτα βαλλει υδωρ εισ τον νιπτηρα και ηρξατο νιπτειν τουσ ποδασ των μαθητων και εκμασσειν τω λεντιω ω ην διεζωσμενοσ
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!”
ερχεται ουν προσ σιμωνα πετρον και λεγει αυτω εκεινοσ κυριε συ μου νιπτεισ τουσ ποδασ
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω ο εγω ποιω συ ουκ οιδασ αρτι γνωση δε μετα ταυτα
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)
λεγει αυτω πετροσ ου μη νιψησ τουσ ποδασ μου εισ τον αιωνα απεκριθη αυτω ο ιησουσ εαν μη νιψω σε ουκ εχεισ μεροσ μετ εμου (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]!”
λεγει αυτω σιμων πετροσ κυριε μη τουσ ποδασ μου μονον αλλα και τασ χειρασ και την κεφαλην
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.”
λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ ο λελουμενοσ ου χρειαν εχει η τουσ ποδασ νιψασθαι αλλ εστιν καθαροσ ολοσ και υμεισ καθαροι εστε αλλ ουχι παντεσ
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.”
ηδει γαρ τον παραδιδοντα αυτον δια τουτο ειπεν ουχι παντεσ καθαροι εστε
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?
οτε ουν ενιψεν τουσ ποδασ αυτων και ελαβεν τα ιματια αυτου αναπεσων παλιν ειπεν αυτοισ γινωσκετε τι πεποιηκα υμιν
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.
υμεισ φωνειτε με ο διδασκαλοσ και ο κυριοσ και καλωσ λεγετε ειμι γαρ
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.
ει ουν εγω ενιψα υμων τουσ ποδασ ο κυριοσ και ο διδασκαλοσ και υμεισ οφειλετε αλληλων νιπτειν τουσ ποδασ
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
υποδειγμα γαρ εδωκα υμιν ινα καθωσ εγω εποιησα υμιν και υμεισ ποιητε
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].
αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ουκ εστιν δουλοσ μειζων του κυριου αυτου ουδε αποστολοσ μειζων του πεμψαντοσ αυτον
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
ει ταυτα οιδατε μακαριοι εστε εαν ποιητε αυτα
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].’
ου περι παντων υμων λεγω εγω οιδα ουσ εξελεξαμην αλλ ινα η γραφη πληρωθη ο τρωγων μετ εμου τον αρτον επηρεν επ εμε την πτερναν αυτου
19 I am telling you [about someone betraying me] before it happens, in order that when it happens, you may continue to believe that I am ([the Messiah/who I say I am]).
απ αρτι λεγω υμιν προ του γενεσθαι ινα οταν γενηται πιστευσητε οτι εγω ειμι
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.”
αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ο λαμβανων εαν τινα πεμψω εμε λαμβανει ο δε εμε λαμβανων λαμβανει τον πεμψαντα με
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.”
ταυτα ειπων ο ιησουσ εταραχθη τω πνευματι και εμαρτυρησεν και ειπεν αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εισ εξ υμων παραδωσει με
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
εβλεπον ουν εισ αλληλουσ οι μαθηται απορουμενοι περι τινοσ λεγει
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
ην δε ανακειμενοσ εισ των μαθητων αυτου εν τω κολπω του ιησου ον ηγαπα ο ιησουσ
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
νευει ουν τουτω σιμων πετροσ πυθεσθαι τισ αν ειη περι ου λεγει
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
επιπεσων δε εκεινοσ ουτωσ επι το στηθοσ του ιησου λεγει αυτω κυριε τισ εστιν
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]).
αποκρινεται ο ιησουσ εκεινοσ εστιν ω εγω βαψασ το ψωμιον επιδωσω και εμβαψασ το ψωμιον διδωσιν ιουδα σιμωνοσ ισκαριωτη
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.”
και μετα το ψωμιον τοτε εισηλθεν εισ εκεινον ο σατανασ λεγει ουν αυτω ο ιησουσ ο ποιεισ ποιησον ταχιον
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
τουτο δε ουδεισ εγνω των ανακειμενων προσ τι ειπεν αυτω
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.
τινεσ γαρ εδοκουν επει το γλωσσοκομον ειχεν ο ιουδασ οτι λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ αγορασον ων χρειαν εχομεν εισ την εορτην η τοισ πτωχοισ ινα τι δω
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
λαβων ουν το ψωμιον εκεινοσ ευθεωσ εξηλθεν ην δε νυξ
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.
οτε εξηλθεν λεγει ο ιησουσ νυν εδοξασθη ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου και ο θεοσ εδοξασθη εν αυτω
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.
ει ο θεοσ εδοξασθη εν αυτω και ο θεοσ δοξασει αυτον εν εαυτω και ευθυσ δοξασει αυτον
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].
τεκνια ετι μικρον μεθ υμων ειμι ζητησετε με και καθωσ ειπον τοισ ιουδαιοισ οτι οπου υπαγω εγω υμεισ ου δυνασθε ελθειν και υμιν λεγω αρτι
34 Now I am giving you a new commandment: You must love each other. You must love each other in the way that I have loved you.
εντολην καινην διδωμι υμιν ινα αγαπατε αλληλουσ καθωσ ηγαπησα υμασ ινα και υμεισ αγαπατε αλληλουσ
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
εν τουτω γνωσονται παντεσ οτι εμοι μαθηται εστε εαν αγαπην εχητε εν αλληλοισ
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “The place where I am going, you cannot come with me now, but you will come there later.”
λεγει αυτω σιμων πετροσ κυριε που υπαγεισ απεκριθη αυτω ο ιησουσ οπου υπαγω ου δυνασαι μοι νυν ακολουθησαι υστερον δε ακολουθησεισ μοι
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
λεγει αυτω πετροσ κυριε δια τι ου δυναμαι σοι ακολουθησαι αρτι την ψυχην μου υπερ σου θησω
38 Jesus answered, “[You say] [RHQ] that you [are ready] to die for me. But the truth is that before the rooster crows [early tomorrow morning], you will say three times that you do not [know] me!”
απεκριθη αυτω ο ιησουσ την ψυχην σου υπερ εμου θησεισ αμην αμην λεγω σοι ου μη αλεκτωρ φωνηση εωσ ου απαρνηση με τρισ
