John 13
- 1Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come that he should leave this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
- 2And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,
- 3Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and went to God,
- 4He rises from supper, and laid aside his garments. And he took a towel, and wrapped it around himself.
- 5After that he pours water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel he had wrapped around himself.
- 6Then he comes to Simon Peter. And Peter says to him, Lord, do you wash my feet?
- 7Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you do not know now. But you shall understand later.
- 8Peter says to him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.
- 9Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
- 10Jesus says to him, He who is washed needs only to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you are clean, but not all.
- 11For he knew who should betray him. Therefore he said, You are not all clean.
- 12So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and had sat down again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you?
- 13You call me Master and Lord. And you say well, for so I am.
- 14If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
- 15For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
- 16Truly, truly, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. Neither is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
- 17If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
- 18I do not speak of you all. I know the ones I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.
- 19Now I tell you before it comes, that, when it has happened, you may believe that I am he.
- 20Truly, truly, I say to you, He who receives whoever I send receives me. And he who receives me receives him who sent me.
- 21When Jesus had so said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.
- 22The disciples looked at one another, uncertain who he was speaking about.
- 23Now one of his disciples was leaning against Jesus, the one Jesus loved.
- 24So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask who Jesus was speaking about.
- 25He then lying on Jesus' breast says to him, Lord, who is it?
- 26Jesus answered, It is the one I will give this piece of bread to after I have dipped it. When he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.
- 27And after the piece of bread Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly.
- 28Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spoke this to him.
- 29For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said to him, Buy the things we need for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.
- 30He then having received the piece of bread went immediately out. And it was night.
- 31Therefore, when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
- 32If God is glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall immediately glorify him.
- 33Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me. And as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come, so now I say to you.
- 34A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another. As I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
- 35By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.
- 36Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where do you go? Jesus answered him, Where I go, you cannot follow me now. But you shall follow me afterwards.
- 37Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.
- 38Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The rooster shall not crow, till you have denied me three times.
