Now before
the Feast
of athe Passover
, Jesus
knowing
that bHis hour
had come
that He would depart
out of this
world
cto the Father
, having loved
His own
who
were in the world
, He loved
them 1to the end
.
During supper
, athe devil
having already
put
into the heart
of bJudas
Iscariot
, the son of Simon
, to betray
Him,
Jesus, aknowing that the Father
had given
all
things
into His hands
, and that bHe had come
forth
from God
and was going
back
to God
,
*got up from supper
, and *laid
aside
His garments
; and taking
a towel
, He agirded
Himself
.
Then He *poured
water
into the basin
, and began
to awash
the disciples'
feet
and to wipe
them with the towel
with which
He was girded
.
So He *came
to Simon
Peter
. He *said
to Him, "Lord
, do You wash
my feet
?"
Jesus answered
and said
to him, "What
I do
you do not realize
now
, but you will understand
ahereafter
."
Peter *said
to Him, "Never
shall You wash
my feet
!" Jesus
answered
him, " aIf
I do not wash
you, byou have
no
part
with Me."
Simon Peter
*said
to Him, "Lord
, then wash not only
my feet
, but also
my hands
and my head
."
Jesus *said
to him, "He who has bathed
needs
only
to wash
his feet
, but is completely
clean
; and ayou are clean
, but not all
of you."
For aHe knew the one who was betraying
Him; for this
reason
He said
, "Not all
of you are clean
."
So when
He had washed
their feet
, and ataken
His garments
and reclined
at the table again
, He said
to them, "Do you know
what
I have done
to you?
"You call Me aTeacher
and bLord
; and 1you are right
, for so I am
.
"If I then
, athe Lord
and the Teacher
, washed
your feet
, you also
ought
to wash
one
another's
feet
.
"For I gave you aan example
that you also
should do
as I did
to you.
"Truly, truly
, I say
to you, aa slave
is not greater
than his master
, nor
is bone
who is sent
greater
than the one who sent
him.
"If you know
these
things
, you are ablessed
if
you do
them.
" aI do not speak of all
of you. I know
the ones
I have bchosen
; but it is cthat the Scripture
may be fulfilled
, ` dHE WHO EATS
MY BREAD
HAS LIFTED
UP HIS HEEL
AGAINST
ME.'
"From now on aI am telling
you before
it comes
to pass
, so
that when
it does occur
, you may believe
that bI am
He.
"Truly, truly
, I say
to you, ahe who receives
whomever
I send
receives
Me; and he who receives
Me receives
Him who sent
Me."
When Jesus had said
this
, He abecame troubled
in spirit
, and testified
and said
, "Truly
, truly
, I say
to you, that bone
of you will 1betray
Me."
The disciples began looking
at one
another
, aat a loss
to know of which
one
He was speaking
.
There was reclining on aJesus'
bosom
one
of His disciples
, bwhom
Jesus
loved
.
So Simon
Peter
*gestured
to him, and *said
to him, "Tell
us who
it is of whom
He is speaking
."
He, aleaning back
thus
on Jesus'
bosom
, *said
to Him, "Lord
, who
is it?"
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
, athe son of Simon
Iscariot
.
After the morsel
, aSatan
then
bentered
into him. Therefore
Jesus
*said
to him, "What
you do
, do
quickly
."
Now no
one
of those
reclining
at the table knew
for what
purpose He had said
this
to him.
For some were supposing
, because
Judas
ahad
the money
box
, that Jesus
was saying
to him, "Buy
the things we have
need
of bfor the feast
"; or
else
, that he should cgive
something
to the poor
.
So after receiving
the morsel
he went
out immediately
; and ait was night
.
Therefore when
he had gone
out, Jesus
*said
, "Now
1is athe Son
of Man
bglorified
, and cGod
1is glorified
in Him;
1if God
is glorified
in Him, aGod
will also
glorify
Him in Himself
, and will glorify
Him immediately
.
" aLittle children
, I am
with you ba little
while
longer
. cYou will seek
Me; and as I said
to the Jews
, now
I also
say
to you, `Where
I am going
, you cannot
come
.'
"A anew commandment
I give
to you, bthat you love
one
another
, ceven
as I have loved
you, that you also
love
one
another
.
" aBy this all
men
will know
that you are My disciples
, if
you have
love
for one
another
."
Simon Peter
*said
to Him, "Lord
, where
are You going
?" Jesus
answered
, " aWhere
I go
, you cannot
follow
Me now
; but byou will follow
later
."
Peter *said
to Him, "Lord
, why
can
I not follow
You right
now
? aI will lay
down
my life
for You."
Jesus *answered
, "Will you lay
down
your life
for Me? Truly
, truly
, I say
to you, aa rooster
will not crow
until
you deny
Me three
times
.
