< John 13 >

1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
Now just before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come when he should leave this world to go to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, showed forth his love to the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s [son], to betray him;
So while supper was proceeding, and the devil had already put it 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 was come from God, and went to God;
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given everything into his hands, and that he was come from God,
4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
and was now going to God, rose from supper, laid aside his upper garments, and took a towel and girded himself.
5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel wherewith he was girded.
Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself.
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
Then he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand it later."
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. (aiōn g165)
Peter answered, "No, never shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," said Jesus, "you have no part in me." (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head.
"Lord," said Simon Peter, "not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash [his] feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
Jesus said. "He who has bathed needs only to have his feet washed, and he is altogether clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."
11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
(For he knew who should betray him, for that reason he said that they were not every one of them clean.)
12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
So after he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments again, and taken his place, he said to them.
13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I am.
"Do you understand what I have been doing to you? You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Master’, and you say well, for such I am.
14 If I then, [your] Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
If then I have washed your feet, I the ‘Master’ and the ‘Teacher’, you also ought to wash one another’s feet,
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
for I have given you an example, that you also should do what I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
In solemn truth I tell you that a slave is not greater than his master, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sends him.
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says. "He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.
19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he].
"From this time forward, I tell you before it comes to pass, that when it is come to pass you may believe who I am.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
In solemn truth I tell you, he who receives any one that I send is receiving me; and he who receives me is receiving Him who sent me."
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
When he had spoken thus, Jesus was deeply moved. He testified and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
Then the disciples began looking at one another, wondering which one of them he meant.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
There was reclining upon Jesus’ breast one of the disciples whom he loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
So Simon Peter beckoned to him, saying, "Ask who it is about whom he is speaking."
25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
So that disciples just leaned back against Jesus’ breast and said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped [it]. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave [it] to Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.
"It is that one," answered Jesus," to whom I am going to give a piece of bread, after dipping it."
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
So when he had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon. And after he had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "What you do, do quickly," said Jesus.
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
Now no one at the table understood why he said this to him,
29 For some [of them] thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy [those things] that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
for some were thinking, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus meant to tell him, "Buy the things that we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.
30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
When he had taken the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
So when he was gone, Jesus said. "Now has the Son of man been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and straightway will he glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
"My little children, I am only to be with you a little longer. You will seek me; just as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I go you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
I give you a new commandment, Love one another!
35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another."
36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" "Where I am going," answered Jesus, "you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow me later."
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
"Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" said Peter. "I will lay down my life for you." Jesus answered him.
38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
"Your life you will lay down for me? In solemn truth I tell you, the cock shall not crow before you have three times disowned me."
