John 13
1 Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place. Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world He loved them to the end.
2 While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought of betraying Him, Jesus,
And after supper (the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him),
3 although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given everything into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
4 rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took a towel and tied it round Him.
He gets up from the meal and lays aside His garments, and taking a towel He tied it around Himself.
5 Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel which He had put round Him.
Then He poured water into the basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel with which He was wrapped.
6 When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said, "are you going to wash my feet?"
So He comes to Simon Peter, and he says to Him, “Lord, you wash my feet?!”
7 "What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do not know, but afterwards you shall know."
Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know [by experience] after this.”
8 "Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus, "you have no share with me." (aiōn g165)
Peter says to Him, “You will never ever wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.” (aiōn g165)
9 "Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."
Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!”
10 "Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over. And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true of all of you."
Jesus says to him: “One who is bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you (pl) are clean, but not all of you.”
11 For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said, "You are not all of you clean."
(He knew who was betraying Him; that is why He said, “Not all of you are clean.”)
12 So after He had washed their feet, put on His garments again, and returned to the table, He said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you?
So when Jesus had washed their feet and put His garments back on, He reclined again and said to them: “Do you know what I have done to you?
13 You call me 'The Rabbi' and 'The Master,' and rightly so, for such I am.
You address me as ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’, and you speak correctly, because I am.
14 If I then, your Master and Rabbi, have washed your feet, it is also your duty to wash one another's feet.
So then, if I, Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have set you an example in order that you may do what I have done to you.
Because I have given you an example, so that you also should do just as I did to you.
16 In most solemn truth I tell you that a servant is not superior to his master, nor is a messenger superior to him who sent him.
“Most assuredly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his owner, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 If you know all this, blessed are you if you act accordingly.
If you understand these things, you are blessed if you do them.
18 I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says, 'He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
“I do not speak concerning all of you—I know whom I chose. But let the Scripture be fulfilled: ‘The one eating bread with me lifted up his heel against me.’
19 From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.
I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am.
20 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives Him who sent me."
Most assuredly I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives me, and he who receives me receives Him who sent me.”
21 After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said with deep earnestness, "In most solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."
Having said these things, Jesus was distressed in His spirit and testified saying, “Most assuredly I say to you, one of you will betray me!”
22 The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know to which of them He was referring.
So the disciples started looking at each other, at a loss as to whom He meant.
23 There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved-- reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.
Now one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining beside Jesus' bosom.
24 Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us to whom he is referring."
So Simon Peter motions to him to inquire whom it might be that He was referring to.
25 So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, "Master, who is it?"
And leaning back against Jesus' breast he says to Him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 "It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.
Jesus answers, “It is the one to whom I will give the piece of dunked bread.” And dunking the bread He gives it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.
27 Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him.
And after the sop, then Satan entered into him. Whereupon Jesus says to him, “What you are doing, do quickly!”
28 But why He said this no one else at the table understood.
(Now none of those reclining at the table knew why He said this to him.
29 Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
Since Judas had the money box, some supposed that Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.)
30 So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. And it was night.
So having received the sop, immediately he went out. And it was night.
31 So when he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
When he had gone out Jesus says: “Now the Son of the Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in Him.
32 Moreover God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him without delay.
Since God has been glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him with Himself, and He will do so presently.
33 Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you.
“Little children, I am with you just a little longer. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give you, to love one another; that as I have loved you, you also may love one another.
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another just as I have loved you—that you also love one another.
35 It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples--if you love one another."
By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36 "Master," inquired Simon Peter, "where are you going?" "Where I am going," replied Jesus, "you cannot be my follower now, but you shall be later."
Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but later you will follow me.”
37 "Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.
Peter says to Him: “Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake!”
38 "You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!" said Jesus; "in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow before you have three times disowned me."
Jesus answered him: “You will lay down your life for my sake? Most assuredly I say to you, no rooster can crow until you have denied me three times!
