< John 13 >
1 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who [are] in the world — to the end he loved them.
Now it was before the Festival of the Passover. Jesus knew that his hour had come to go out of this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 And supper being come, the devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,
Now the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot son of Simon, to betray Jesus.
3 Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him — into [his] hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,
He knew that the Father had given everything over into his hands and that he had come from God and was going back to God.
4 doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;
He got up from dinner and took off his outer clothing. Then he took a towel and wrapped it around himself.
5 afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.
Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and dry them with the towel that he had put around himself.
6 He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, 'Sir, thou — dost thou wash my feet?'
He came to Simon Peter, and Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus answered and said to him, 'That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'
Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand this later.”
8 Peter saith to him, 'Thou mayest not wash my feet — to the age.' Jesus answered him, 'If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;' (aiōn )
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” (aiōn )
9 Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, do not only wash my feet, but also my hands and my head.”
10 Jesus saith to him, 'He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'
Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but he is completely clean; you are clean, but not everyone.”
11 for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'
(For Jesus knew who would betray him; that is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”)
12 When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, 'Do ye know what I have done to you?
So when Jesus had washed their feet and taken his garments and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you?
13 ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;
You call me 'teacher' and 'Lord,' and you are speaking correctly, because so I am.
14 if then I did wash your feet — the Lord and the Teacher — ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you should also wash the feet of one another.
15 'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;
For I have given you an example so that you should also do just as I did for you.
16 verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;
Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is a messenger greater than he who sent him.
17 if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;
If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
18 not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.
I am not speaking about all of you; I know those whom I have chosen—but this so that the scripture will be fulfilled: 'He who eats my bread lifted up his heel against me.'
19 'From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he];
I tell you this now before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe that I AM.
20 verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I sent, receives me, and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
21 These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'
When Jesus said this, he was troubled in spirit. He testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will betray me.”
22 the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.
The disciples looked at each other, wondering of whom he was speaking.
23 And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying down at the table against Jesus' side.
24 Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,
Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him who he is speaking about.”
25 and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?'
So he leaned back against the side of Jesus and said to him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus answereth, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.
Then Jesus answered, “It is the one for whom I will dip the piece of bread and give it him.” So when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
27 And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, 'What thou dost — do quickly;'
Then after the bread, Satan entered into him, so Jesus said to him, “What you are doing, do it quickly.”
28 and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,
Now no one who was lying down at the table knew why he said this to him.
29 for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;
Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus said to him, “Buy what we need to have for the festival,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30 having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.
After Judas received the bread, he went out immediately. It was night.
31 When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;
When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.
God will glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
33 'Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews — Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say [it] now.
Little children, I am with you for still a short amount of time. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' Now I also say this to you.
34 'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;
I am giving you a new commandment, that you should love one another; as I have loved you, so also you should love one another.
35 in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.”
36 Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.”
37 Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'
Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
38 Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'
Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow before you have denied me three times.”
