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.
Antes de la fiesta de la Pascua, Jesús sabía que había llegado su hora para pasar de este mundo al Padre. Como había amado a los suyos que estaban en el mundo, los amó hasta el fin.
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).
Cuando celebraban una cena, el diablo ya había puesto en el corazón de Judas, [hijo] de Simón Iscariote, que lo entregara.
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.
[Jesús] sabía que el Padre le dio todas las cosas en las manos, que salió de Dios y regresaba a Él.
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].
Se puso en pie, se quitó el manto, tomó una toalla y se [la] ató.
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.
Luego echó agua en una vasija, procedió a lavar los pies de los discípulos y a secarlos con la toalla.
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!”
Cuando llegó a Simón Pedro, éste le preguntó: Señor, ¿Tú me lavas los pies?
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
Jesús respondió: Tú no entiendes ahora lo que Yo te hago. Lo entenderás después.
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)
Pedro le dijo: ¡Que de ningún modo me laves los pies jamás! Jesús le respondió: Si no te lavo, no tienes parte conmigo. (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]!”
Simón Pedro le respondió: ¡Señor, no solo mis pies, sino también las manos y la cabeza!
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.”
Jesús le dijo: El que está bañado no necesita lavarse sino los pies, pues está todo limpio. Ustedes están limpios, aunque no todos.
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.”
Por eso dijo: No todos están limpios, porque sabía quién lo traicionaría.
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?
Después de lavarles los pies, tomó su manto, [se] reclinó otra vez y les preguntó: ¿Entienden [lo] que les hice?
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.
Ustedes me llaman el Maestro y el Señor, y dicen bien porque [lo] soy.
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.
Pues si Yo, el Señor y el Maestro, les lavé los pies, ustedes también laven los pies los unos a los otros.
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
Porque les di ejemplo, hagan también ustedes como Yo les hice.
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].
En verdad, en verdad les digo: Un esclavo no es mayor que su señor, ni un enviado mayor que el que lo envió.
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
Si saben esto, son inmensamente felices si lo practican.
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].’
No hablo de todos ustedes. Yo sé a quiénes me escogí, pero para que se cumpla la Escritura: El que come mi pan levantó contra Mí su talón.
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]).
Esto les digo ahora antes que ocurra, para que cuando suceda, crean que Yo soy.
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.”
En verdad, en verdad les digo: El que recibe al que Yo envío, me recibe a Mí. El que me recibe a Mí, recibe al que me envió.
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.”
Después de decir esto, Jesús se conmovió en espíritu y dijo: En verdad, en verdad les digo que uno de ustedes me traicionará.
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
Los discípulos se miraban unos a otros, y se preguntaban de quién hablaba.
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
Uno de sus discípulos, a quien Jesús amaba, estaba al lado de Jesús.
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
Simón Pedro le hizo señas a éste para que le preguntara de quién hablaba.
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
De esta manera, como estaba reclinado al lado de Jesús, le preguntó: Señor, ¿quién es?
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]).
Jesús [le] respondió: Es aquél a quien yo dé este bocado mojado. Después de mojar el bocado, [lo] dio a Judas, [hijo] de Simón Iscariote.
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.”
En ese momento, con el bocado Satanás entró en él. Entonces Jesús le ordenó: Haz pronto lo que haces.
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
Ninguno de los reclinados entendió por qué le dijo esto.
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.
Algunos pensaban que como Judas tenía la bolsa del dinero, Jesús le decía que comprara las cosas que necesitaban para la fiesta, o que diera algo a los pobres.
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
Cuando él tomó el bocado, enseguida salió. Era de noche.
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.
Cuando Judas salió, Jesús dijo: ¡Ahora es glorificado el Hijo del Hombre, y Dios es glorificado en Él!
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 Dios es glorificado en Él, Dios también lo glorificará en Él mismo. Y enseguida lo glorificará.
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].
Hijitos, aún estoy un poco con ustedes. Me buscarán, pero como dije a los judíos, lo digo también a ustedes ahora: Adonde Yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir.
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.
Un Mandamiento nuevo les doy: Que se amen unos a otros. Como los amé, ámense también unos a otros.
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
Por esto sabrán todos que son mis discípulos, si se aman los unos a los otros.
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.”
Simón Pedro le preguntó: Señor, ¿a dónde vas? Jesús respondió: Adonde voy no puedes seguirme ahora, pero [me] seguirás más tarde.
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
Pedro le preguntó: Señor, ¿por qué no puedo seguirte ahora? Mi vida daré por Ti.
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!”
Jesús le respondió: ¿Tu vida darás por Mí? En verdad, en verdad te digo: Que de ningún modo cante un gallo hasta que me niegues tres veces.
