13
1 Now
before the feast
of the Passover,
Jesus, knowing
that his time
had come that
he would depart
from this world
to the Father,
having loved his
own who were
in the world,
he loved them to
the end.
2 During
supper, the devil
having already put
into the heart
of Judas Iscariot,
Simon’s son, to
betray him,
3 Jesus,
knowing that the
Father had given
all things into
his hands, and
that he came
from God and
was going to
God,
4 arose
from supper, and
laid aside his
outer garments. He
took a towel
and wrapped a
towel around his waist.
5 Then
he poured water
into the basin,
and began to wash
the disciples’
feet and to
wipe them with
the towel that
was wrapped around him.
6 Then
he came to
Simon Peter. He
said to him, “Lord, do you wash
my feet?”
7 Jesus
answered him,
“You don’t know
what I am
doing now, but
you will
understand later.”
8 Peter
said to him, “You
will never wash
my feet!”
Jesus answered
him,
“If I don’t
wash you, you
have no part
with me.”
9 Simon
Peter said to
him, “Lord, not
my feet only,
but also my
hands and my
head!”
10 Jesus
said to him,
“Someone who has
bathed only
needs to have
his feet washed,
but is
completely clean.
You are clean,
but not all
of you.”
11 For
he knew him
who would betray
him; therefore he
said,
“You are not
all clean.”
12 So
when he had
washed their feet,
put his outer
garment back on,
and sat down again,
he said to
them,
“Do you know
what I have
done to you?
13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’
You say so
correctly, for
so I am.
14 If I then,
the Lord and
the Teacher,
have washed your
feet, you also
ought to wash
one another’s
feet.
15 For I have
given you an
example, that
you should also
do as I
have done to
you.
16 Most certainly I
tell you, a
servant is not
greater than his
lord, neither is
one who is
sent greater
than he who
sent him.
17 If you know
these things,
blessed are you
if you do
them.
18 I don’t speak
concerning all
of you. I
know whom I
have chosen; but
that the
Scripture may be
fulfilled, ‘He
who eats bread
with me has
lifted up his
heel against
me.’
19 From now on,
I tell you
before it
happens, that
when it happens,
you may believe
that I am
he.
20 Most certainly I tell
you, he who
receives whomever I
send, receives
me; and he
who receives me,
receives him who
sent me.”
21 When
Jesus had said
this, he was
troubled in spirit,
and testified,
“Most certainly
I tell you
that one of
you will betray
me.”
22 The
disciples looked at
one another, perplexed
about whom he
spoke.
23 One
of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved,
was at the table,
leaning against Jesus’ chest.
24 Simon
Peter therefore
beckoned to him,
and said to
him, “Tell us
who it is
of whom he
speaks.”
25 He, leaning
back, as he was,
on Jesus’ chest,
asked him, “Lord,
who is it?”
26 Jesus
therefore answered,
“It is he
to whom I
will give
this piece of bread
when I
have dipped it.”
So when he
had dipped the piece
of bread, he gave
it to Judas,
the son of Simon
Iscariot.
27 After
the piece of bread,
then Satan entered
into him.
Then Jesus said
to him,
“What you do,
do quickly.”
28 Now
nobody at the table
knew why he
said this to
him.
29 For
some thought,
because Judas had
the money box,
that Jesus said
to him, “Buy what
things we need
for the feast,”
or that he
should give
something to the
poor.
30 Therefore
having received
that morsel, he
went out
immediately. It
was night.
31 When
he had gone
out, Jesus said,
“Now the Son
of Man has
been glorified,
and God has
been glorified
in him.
32 If God has
been glorified
in him, God
will also
glorify him in
himself, and he
will glorify him
immediately.
33 Little children,
I will be
with you a
little while
longer. You will
seek me, and
as I said
to the Jews, ‘Where
I am going,
you can’t
come,’ so now
I tell you.
34 A new
commandment I
give to you,
that you love
one another. Just
as I have loved
you, you
also love one another.
35 By this
everyone will
know that you
are my disciples,
if you have love
for one
another.”
36 Simon
Peter said to
him, “Lord, where
are you going?”
Jesus answered,
“Where I am
going, you can’t
follow now, but
you will follow
afterwards.”
37 Peter
said to him, “Lord, why can’t
I follow you now?
I will lay
down my life
for you.”
38 Jesus
answered him,
“Will you lay
down your life
for me? Most
certainly I tell
you, the rooster won’t
crow until you
have denied me
three times.
