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.
Ante diem festum Paschae, sciens Iesus quia venit hora eius ut transeat ex hoc mundo ad Patrem: cum dilexisset suos, qui erant in mundo, in finem dilexit eos.
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).
Et coena facta, cum diabolus iam misisset in cor ut traderet eum Iudas Simonis Iscariotis:
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.
sciens quia omnia dedit ei Pater in manus, et quia a Deo exivit, et ad Deum vadit:
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].
surgit a coena, et ponit vestimenta sua: et cum accepisset linteum, praecinxit se.
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.
Deinde misit aquam in pelvim, et coepit lavare pedes discipulorum, et extergere linteo, quo erat praecinctus.
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!”
Venit ergo ad Simonem Petrum. Et dicit ei Petrus: Domine, tu mihi lavas pedes?
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Quod ego facio, tu nescis modo, scies autem postea.
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)
Dicit ei Petrus: Non lavabis mihi pedes in aeternum. Respondit ei Iesus: Si non lavero te, non habebis partem mecum. (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]!”
Dicit ei Simon Petrus: Domine, non tantum pedes meos, sed et manus, et caput.
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.”
Dicit ei Iesus: Qui lotus est, non indiget nisi ut pedes lavet, et est mundus totus. Et vos mundi estis, sed non omnes.
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.”
Sciebat enim quisnam esset qui traderet eum: propterea dixit: Non estis mundi omnes.
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?
Postquam ergo lavit pedes eorum, accepit vestimenta sua: et cum recubuisset iterum dixit eis: Scitis quid fecerim vobis?
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.
Vos vocatis me Magister, et Domine, et bene dicitis: sum etenim.
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.
Si ergo ego lavi pedes vestros, Dominus, et Magister: et vos debetis alter alterius lavare pedes.
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
Exemplum enim dedi vobis, ut quemadmodum ego feci vobis, ita et vos faciatis.
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].
Amen, amen dico vobis: non est servus maior Domino suo: neque apostolus maior est eo, qui misit illum.
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
Si haec scitis, beati eritis si feceritis ea.
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].’
Non de omnibus vobis dico: ego scio quos elegerim: sed ut adimpleatur Scriptura: Qui manducat mecum panem, levabit contra me calcaneum suum.
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]).
Amodo dico vobis, priusquam fiat: ut cum factum fuerit, credatis, quia ego sum.
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.”
Amen, amen dico vobis: Qui accipit si quem misero, me accipit: qui autem me accipit, accipit eum, qui me misit.
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.”
Cum haec dixisset Iesus, turbatus est spiritu: et protestatus est, et dixit: Amen, amen dico vobis: Quia unus ex vobis tradet me.
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
Aspiciebant ergo ad invicem discipuli, haesitantes de quo diceret.
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
Erat ergo recumbens unus ex discipulis eius in sinu Iesu, quem diligebat Iesus.
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
Innuit ergo huic Simon Petrus: et dixit ei: Quis est, de quo dicit?
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Itaque cum recubuisset ille supra pectus Iesu, dicit ei: Domine quis est?
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]).
Respondit Iesus: Ille est, cui ego intinctum panem porrexero. Et cum intinxisset panem, dedit Iudae Simonis Iscariotis.
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.”
Et post buccellam, introivit in eum satanas. Et dixit ei Iesus: Quod facis, fac citius.
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
Hoc autem nemo scivit discumbentium ad quid dixerit ei.
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.
Quidam enim putabant, quia loculos habebat Iudas, quod dixisset ei Iesus: Eme ea, quae opus sunt nobis ad diem festum: aut egenis ut aliquid daret.
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
Cum ergo accepisset ille buccellam, exivit continuo. Erat autem nox.
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.
Cum ergo exisset, dixit Iesus: Nunc clarificatus est filius hominis: et Deus clarificatus est in eo.
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.
Si Deus clarificatus est in eo, et Deus clarificabit eum in semetipso: et continuo clarificabit eum.
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].
Filioli, adhuc modicum vobiscum sum. Quaeretis me: et sicut dixi Iudaeis: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire: et vobis dico modo.
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.
Mandatum novum do vobis: Ut diligatis invicem, sicut dilexi vos, ut et vos diligatis invicem.
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
In hoc cognoscent omnes quia discipuli mei estis, si dilectionem habueritis ad invicem.
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.”
Dicit ei Simon Petrus: Domine, quo vadis? Respondit Iesus: Quo ego vado, non potes me modo sequi: sequeris autem postea.
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
Dicit ei Petrus: Quare non possum te sequi modo? animam meam pro te ponam.
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!”
Respondit ei Iesus: Animam tuam pro me pones? Amen, amen dico tibi: non cantabit gallus, donec ter me neges.
