< previous JOHN - CHAPTER THIRTEEN next >
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 also should do as I have done to you.
16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord,
neither 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.’ Psalm 41:9
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’ breast. 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’ breast,
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 no man 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.
