John 13
1)
Now before
the Feast of the Passover,
Jesus knowing that
His
hour had come
that He would depart out of 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,
the son of Simon, to betray Him,
3)
Jesus, knowing that
the Father
had given all things into His hands
,
and
that He
had come forth from God and
was going back to God
,
4) got up from supper,
and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself.
5) Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
6) So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet?"
7) Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter."
8) Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet!"
Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."
9) Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."
10) Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean;
and you are clean, but not all of you."
11) For He knew
the one who was betraying Him
;
for this reason He said,
"Not all of you are clean."
12) So when He had washed their feet,
and taken His garments
and reclined at the table again,
He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
13) You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.
14) If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet,
you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15) For I gave you an example
that you also should do as I did to you.
16) Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not
greater than his master,
nor is one who is sent
greater than the one who sent him.
17) If you know these things,
you are blessed if you do them.
18) I do not speak of all of you I know the ones I have chosen;
but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled,
’HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.’
19) From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.
20) Truly, truly, I say to 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 became troubled in spirit, and testified and said,
"Truly, truly, I say to you,
that
one of you will betray Me
."
22) The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.
23) There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24) So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking."
25) He, leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom,
said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"
26) Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel
and give it to him."
So when He had dipped the morsel,
He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27) After the morsel, Satan then entered into him.
Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
28) Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.
29) For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box,
that Jesus was saying to him,
"Buy the things we have need of for the feast"; or else, that he should give something to the poor.
30) So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.
31) Therefore
when
he had gone out, Jesus said, "
Now
is the Son of Man glorified,
and God is glorified in Him;
32) if God is glorified in Him,
God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him
immediately
.
33) Little children,
I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me;
and as I said to the Jews,
now I also say to you,
’Where I am going, you cannot come.’
34) A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another,
even as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.
35) By this all men 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 go, you cannot follow Me
now
; but you will follow
later
."
37) Peter said to Him,
"Lord, why can I not follow You
right now
?
I will lay down my life for You."
38) Jesus answered,
"Will you lay down your life for Me?
Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow
until
you deny Me three times.
