John 13
1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
It was the day before the Passover festival, and Jesus knew that the time had come to leave this world and go to his Father. He had loved those in the world who were his own, and he now demonstrated his complete and utter love for them.
2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
It was during supper, and the devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
Jesus knew that the Father had placed everything under his authority, and that he had come from God and was going back to God.
4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
So Jesus stood up from eating supper, took off his robe and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
He poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had wrapped around him.
6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus answered him, “You do not know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
Jesus replied, “You won't realize what I'm doing for you now. But one day you'll understand.”
8 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet in this lifetime (aiōn g165)!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with me."
“No!” Peter protested. “You'll never wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “If I don't wash you, you have no part with me.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
“Then, Lord, wash not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Simon Peter exclaimed.
10 Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”
Jesus responded, “Those who have had a bath only need to wash their feet and then they're clean all over. You are clean—but not all of you.”
11 For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
After Jesus had washed their feet, he put his robe back on, and sat down. “Do you understand what I've done to you?” he asked them.
13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that's who I am.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
So if I, your Teacher and Lord, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
I have set you an example, so you should do just as I did.
16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
I tell you the truth, servants are not more important than their master, and the one sent is not greater than the sender.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Now that you understand these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
18 I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’
I'm not talking about all of you—I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill Scripture: ‘The one who shares my food has turned against me.’
19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
I'm telling you this now, before it happens, so when it does happen you will be convinced that I am who I am.
20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
I tell you the truth, whoever welcomes anyone I send welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me.”
21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
After he had said this, Jesus was deeply troubled, and declared: “I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me.”
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
The disciples looked at each other, wondering which of them Jesus was talking about.
23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
The disciple whom Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table, leaning close him.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one he was talking about.
25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
So he leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
Jesus replied, “It's the one to whom I will give a piece of bread after I have dipped it.”
27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
After dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. Once Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered him. “What you're going to do, do it quickly,” Jesus told him.
28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
No one at the table understood what Jesus meant by this.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
Since Judas was in charge of the money some of them thought that Jesus was telling him to go and buy what was needed for the Passover festival, or to donate something to the poor.
30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
Judas left immediately after he'd taken the piece of bread, and went out into the night.
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
After he'd left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of man is glorified, and through him God is glorified.
32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
If God is glorified through him, then God will glorify the Son himself, and will glorify him immediately.
33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I tell you.
My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, but I'm telling you now just as I told the Jews: you cannot come where I'm going.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
I am giving you a new command: Love one another. Love one another in the same way I have loved you.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
If you love one another you will prove to everyone that you are my disciples.”
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
Simon Peter asked him, “Where are you going, Lord?” Jesus answered, “You can't follow me now where I'm going. You will follow me later.”
37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
“Lord, why can't I follow you now?” Peter asked. “I'll lay down my life for you.”
38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.
“Are you really ready to die for me? I tell you the truth: before the cock crows you will deny me three times,” Jesus replied.
