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.
Πρὸ δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς τοῦ πάσχα εἰδὼς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ⸀ἦλθεναὐτοῦ ἡ ὥρα ἵνα μεταβῇ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ἀγαπήσας τοὺς ἰδίους τοὺς ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ εἰς τέλος ἠγάπησεν αὐτούς.
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).
καὶ δείπνου ⸀γινομένου τοῦ διαβόλου ἤδη βεβληκότος εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ⸂ἵνα παραδοῖ αὐτὸν Ἰούδας Σίμωνος ⸀Ἰσκαριώτου⸃,
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.
⸀εἰδὼςὅτι πάντα ⸀ἔδωκεναὐτῷ ὁ πατὴρ εἰς τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ἐξῆλθεν καὶ πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ὑπάγει,
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].
ἐγείρεται ἐκ τοῦ δείπνου καὶ τίθησιν τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ λαβὼν λέντιον διέζωσεν ἑαυτόν·
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.
εἶτα βάλλει ὕδωρ εἰς τὸν νιπτῆρα, καὶ ἤρξατο νίπτειν τοὺς πόδας τῶν μαθητῶν καὶ ἐκμάσσειν τῷ λεντίῳ ᾧ ἦν διεζωσμένος.
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!”
ἔρχεται οὖν πρὸς Σίμωνα Πέτρον. ⸀λέγει⸀αὐτῷ Κύριε, σύ μου νίπτεις τοὺς πόδας;
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ὃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ σὺ οὐκ οἶδας ἄρτι, γνώσῃ δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα.
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)
λέγει αὐτῷ Πέτρος· Οὐ μὴ νίψῃς ⸂μου τοὺς πόδας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. ἀπεκρίθη ⸂Ἰησοῦς αὐτῷ· Ἐὰν μὴ νίψω σε, οὐκ ἔχεις μέρος μετʼ ἐμοῦ. (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]!”
λέγει αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, μὴ τοὺς πόδας μου μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν κεφαλήν.
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.”
λέγει αὐτῷ ⸀ὁἸησοῦς· Ὁ λελουμένος ⸂οὐκ ἔχει χρείαν ⸂εἰ μὴ τοὺς πόδας νίψασθαι, ἀλλʼ ἔστιν καθαρὸς ὅλος· καὶ ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστε, ἀλλʼ οὐχὶ πάντες.
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.”
ᾔδει γὰρ τὸν παραδιδόντα αὐτόν· διὰ τοῦτο εἶπεν ⸀ὅτιΟὐχὶ πάντες καθαροί ἐστε.
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?
Ὅτε οὖν ἔνιψεν τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν ⸀καὶἔλαβεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ⸂καὶ ἀνέπεσεν, πάλιν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Γινώσκετε τί πεποίηκα ὑμῖν;
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.
ὑμεῖς φωνεῖτέ με Ὁ διδάσκαλος καὶ Ὁ κύριος, καὶ καλῶς λέγετε, εἰμὶ γάρ.
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.
εἰ οὖν ἐγὼ ἔνιψα ὑμῶν τοὺς πόδας ὁ κύριος καὶ ὁ διδάσκαλος, καὶ ὑμεῖς ὀφείλετε ἀλλήλων νίπτειν τοὺς πόδας·
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
ὑπόδειγμα γὰρ ἔδωκα ὑμῖν ἵνα καθὼς ἐγὼ ἐποίησα ὑμῖν καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιῆτε.
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].
ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ ἔστιν δοῦλος μείζων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἀπόστολος μείζων τοῦ πέμψαντος αὐτόν.
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
εἰ ταῦτα οἴδατε, μακάριοί ἐστε ἐὰν ποιῆτε αὐτά.
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].’
οὐ περὶ πάντων ὑμῶν λέγω· ἐγὼ οἶδα ⸀τίναςἐξελεξάμην· ἀλλʼ ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ· Ὁ τρώγων ⸀μουτὸν ἄρτον ἐπῆρεν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τὴν πτέρναν αὐτοῦ.
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]).
ἀπʼ ἄρτι λέγω ὑμῖν πρὸ τοῦ γενέσθαι, ἵνα ⸂πιστεύσητε ὅταν γένηται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι.
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.”
ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ λαμβάνων ⸀ἄντινα πέμψω ἐμὲ λαμβάνει, ὁ δὲ ἐμὲ λαμβάνων λαμβάνει τὸν πέμψαντά 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.”
Ταῦτα εἰπὼν ⸀ὁἸησοῦς ἐταράχθη τῷ πνεύματι καὶ ἐμαρτύρησεν καὶ εἶπεν· Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με.
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
⸀ἔβλεπονεἰς ἀλλήλους οἱ μαθηταὶ ἀπορούμενοι περὶ τίνος λέγει.
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
⸀ἦνἀνακείμενος εἷς ⸀ἐκτῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς·
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
νεύει οὖν τούτῳ Σίμων Πέτρος ⸂πυθέσθαι τίς ἂν εἴη περὶ οὗ λέγει.
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
⸀ἀναπεσὼνἐκεῖνος οὕτως ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ λέγει αὐτῷ· Κύριε, τίς ἐστιν;
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]).
⸀ἀποκρίνεταιὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν ᾧ ἐγὼ ⸀βάψωτὸ ψωμίον ⸂καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ· ⸂βάψας οὖν τὸ ⸀ψωμίονδίδωσιν Ἰούδᾳ Σίμωνος ⸀Ἰσκαριώτου
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.”
καὶ μετὰ τὸ ψωμίον τότε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς ἐκεῖνον ὁ Σατανᾶς. λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ⸀ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ὃ ποιεῖς ποίησον τάχιον.
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
τοῦτο δὲ οὐδεὶς ἔγνω τῶν ἀνακειμένων πρὸς τί εἶπεν αὐτῷ·
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.
τινὲς γὰρ ἐδόκουν, ἐπεὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον ⸀εἶχενἸούδας, ὅτι λέγει αὐτῷ ⸀ὁἸησοῦς· Ἀγόρασον ὧν χρείαν ἔχομεν εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, ἢ τοῖς πτωχοῖς ἵνα τι δῷ.
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
λαβὼν οὖν τὸ ψωμίον ἐκεῖνος ⸂ἐξῆλθεν εὐθύς. ἦν δὲ νύξ.
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.
Ὅτε ⸀οὖνἐξῆλθεν ⸀λέγειἸησοῦς· Νῦν ἐδοξάσθη ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν αὐτῷ·
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.
⸂εἰ ὁ θεὸς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν αὐτῷ⸃ καὶ ὁ θεὸς δοξάσει αὐτὸν ἐν ⸀αὑτῷ καὶ εὐθὺς δοξάσει αὐτόν.
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].
τεκνία, ἔτι μικρὸν μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰμι· ζητήσετέ με, καὶ καθὼς εἶπον τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ὅτι Ὅπου ⸂ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν, καὶ ὑμῖν λέγω ἄρτι.
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.
ἐντολὴν καινὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους, καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους.
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
ἐν τούτῳ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐμοὶ μαθηταί ἐστε, ἐὰν ἀγάπην ἔχητε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.
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.”
Λέγει αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, ποῦ ὑπάγεις; ⸀ἀπεκρίθηἸησοῦς· Ὅπου ὑπάγω οὐ δύνασαί μοι νῦν ἀκολουθῆσαι, ⸂ἀκολουθήσεις δὲ ὕστερον.
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
λέγει αὐτῷ ⸀ὁΠέτρος· Κύριε, διὰ τί οὐ δύναμαί σοι ⸀ἀκολουθῆσαιἄρτι; τὴν ψυχήν μου ὑπὲρ σοῦ θήσω.
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!”
⸀ἀποκρίνεταιἸησοῦς· Τὴν ψυχήν σου ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ θήσεις; ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἀλέκτωρ φωνήσῃ ἕως οὗ ⸀ἀρνήσῃμε τρίς.
