John 13
1 Before now the feast of the Passover knowing Jesus that (came *N+kO) to him hour that He may depart out of world this to the Father, having loved [his] own who [were] in the world to [the] end He loved them.
Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave the world and go to the Father. He had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.
2 And supper (taking place, *N+kO) the devil already having put into the heart that he may betray Him (Judas *N+kO) [son] of Simon (Iscariot *NK+o)
The devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;
3 knowing (Jesus *K) that all things (has given *N+kO) to Him the Father into the hands, and that from God He came forth and to God He is going,
and at supper, Jesus – although knowing that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was to return to God –
4 He rises from the supper and lays aside the garments, And having taken a towel He girded Himself.
rose from his place, and, taking off his upper garments, tied a towel round his waist.
5 After that He pours water into the basin and He began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe [them] with the towel with which He was having girded himself.
He then poured some water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel which was tied round him.
6 He comes then to Simon Peter; (and *k) who says to Him (that [question]; *ko) Lord, You yourself my do wash feet?
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said, ‘You, Master! Are you going to wash my feet?’
7 Answered Jesus and said to him; What I myself do you yourself not know presently, you will know however after these things.
‘You do not understand now what I am doing,’ replied Jesus, ‘but you will learn by and by.’
8 Says to Him Peter; certainly not shall You wash my feet to the age. Answered Jesus to him; only unless I shall wash you, not you have part with Me. (aiōn g165)
‘You will never wash my feet!’ exclaimed Peter. ‘Unless I wash you,’ answered Jesus, ‘you have nothing in common with me.’ (aiōn g165)
9 Says to Him Simon Peter; Lord, not the feet of me only but also the hands and the head.
‘Then, Master, not my feet only,’ exclaimed Simon Peter, ‘but also my hands and my head.’
10 Says to him Jesus; The [one] having bathed himself not has need (only *no) (except *N+KO) the feet to wash, but is clean wholly; and you yourselves clean are but not all.
‘He who has bathed,’ replied Jesus, ‘has no need to wash, unless it be his feet, but is altogether clean; and you,’ he said to the disciples, ‘are clean, yet not all of you.’
11 He knew for the [one who] was betraying Him; on account of this He said (that *no) Not all clean you are.
For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said “You are not all clean.”
12 When therefore He had washed the feet of them and taken the garments of Him and (he reclined *N+kO) again, He said to them; Do you know what I have done to you?
When he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments and taken his place, he spoke to them again. ‘Do you understand what I have been doing to you?’ he asked.
13 You yourselves call Me: Teacher and Lord, and rightly you say; I am for.
‘You yourselves call me “the teacher” and “the Master”, and you are right, for I am both.
14 If therefore I myself washed your feet the Lord and the Teacher, also you yourselves ought of one another to wash the feet;
If I, then – “the Master” and “the teacher” – have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet;
15 A pattern for I gave you, that even as I myself did to you also you yourselves may do.
for I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.
16 Amen Amen I say to you; not is a servant greater than the master of him nor [is] a messenger greater than the [one who] having sent him.
In truth I tell you, a servant is not greater than their master, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sends them.
17 If these things you know, blessed are you if you shall do them.
Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
18 Not about all of you I speak; I myself know (whom *N+kO) I chose; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled: The [one] eating (with *k) (Me *N+kO) the bread lifted up against Me myself the heel of him.’
I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but this is in fulfilment of the words of scripture – “He that is eating my bread has lifted his heel against me.”
19 From now I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that (you may believe *NK+o) when it may happen that I myself am [He].
For the future I will tell you of things before they take place, so that, when they take place, you may believe that I am what I am.
20 Amen Amen I say to you; the [one] receiving (maybe *N+kO) any I shall send, Me myself receives; the [one] now Me myself receiving, receives the [One] having sent Me.
In truth I tell you, the one who receives anyone that I send receives me; and the person who receives me receives him who sent me.’
21 These things having said Jesus was troubled in spirit and He testified and said; Amen Amen I say to you that one of you will betray Me.
After saying this, Jesus was much troubled, and said solemnly, ‘In truth I tell you that it is one of you who will betray me.’
22 Were looking (therefore *KO) upon one another the disciples, being uncertain of whom He is speaking.
The disciples looked at one another, wondering whom he meant.
23 There was (now *k) reclining one (of *no) the disciples of Him in the bosom of Jesus whom was loving Jesus;
Next to Jesus, in the place on his right hand, was one of his disciples, whom he loved.
24 Motions therefore to him Simon Peter (and says to him *o) (to ask *NK+o) who maybe (it would be *NK+o) about whom He is speaking.
So Simon Peter made signs to that disciple, and whispered, ‘Tell me who it is that he means.’
25 (Having leaned then *N+kO) he (thus *NO) on the breast of Jesus he says to Him; Lord, who is it?
Being in this position, that disciple leant back on Jesus’ shoulder, and asked him, ‘Who is it, Master?’
26 Answers (therefore *O) Jesus; He it is to whom I myself (will dip *N+kO) the morsel (and *no) (will give *N+kO) (to him. *no) (And *k) (having dipped *N+kO) (then *NO) the morsel (He takes [it] and *NO) gives [it] to Judas [son] of Simon (Iscariot. *N+kO)
‘It is the one,’ answered Jesus, ‘to whom I will give a piece of bread after dipping it in the dish.’ And, when Jesus had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot;
27 And after the morsel, then entered into him Satan. Says therefore to him Jesus; What you enact, do enact quicker.
and it was then, after he had received it, that Satan took possession of him. So Jesus said to him, ‘Do at once what you are going to do.’
28 This now no [one] knew of those reclining to what He spoke to him.
But no one at the table understood why he said this to Judas.
29 Some for were thinking, since the money bag had Judas, for is saying to him Jesus; do buy what things need [of] we have for the feast, or to the poor that something he may give.
Some thought that, as Judas kept the purse, Jesus meant that he was to buy some things needed for the Festival, or to give something to the poor.
30 Having received therefore the morsel he went out immediately; it was now night.
After taking the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
31 When therefore he had gone out, says Jesus; Now has been glorified the Son of Man, and God has been glorified in Him,
When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now the Son of Man has been exalted, and God has been exalted through him;
32 If God is glorified in Him also God will glorify Him in (Him[self] *N+kO) and immediately will glorify Him.
and God will exalt him with himself – yes, he will exalt him forthwith.
33 Little children, yet a little while with you I am. You will seek Me, and even as I said to the Jews that Where I myself go you yourselves not are able to come, also to you I say now.
My children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. You will look for me; and what I said to the people – “You cannot come where I am going” – I now say to you.
34 A commandment new I give to you that you may love one another, even as I have loved you so also you yourselves may love one another.
I give you a new commandment – love one another; love one another as I have loved you.
35 By this will know all that to Me disciples you are, if love you shall have among one another.
It is by this that everyone will recognise you as my disciples – by your loving one another.’
36 Says to Him Simon Peter; Lord, where go You? Answered to him Jesus; Where I go not you are able Me now to follow; you will follow however afterward (to me. *k)
‘Where are you going, Master?’ asked Peter. ‘I am going where you cannot now follow me,’ answered Jesus, ‘but you will follow me later.’
37 Says to Him Peter; Lord, because of why not am I able You (to follow *NK+o) presently? The life of mine for You I will lay down.
‘Why cannot I follow you now, Master?’ asked Peter. ‘I will lay down my life for you.’
38 (answers *N+kO) (to him *k) Jesus; The life of you for Me will you lay down? Amen Amen I say to you; certainly not [the] rooster (may crow *N+kO) until that (you will deny *N+kO) Me three times.
‘Will you lay down your life for me?’ replied Jesus. ‘In truth I tell you, the cock will not crow until you have disowned me three times.
