< John 13 >

1 Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew that the hour had come when he should depart from this world unto the Father. And he loved his own people, who were in the world; and he loved them unto the end.
2 And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s [son], to betray him,
And when the supper was passed, it had been injected by Satan 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 came forth from God, and goeth unto God,
And Jesus, because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands; and that he came out from the Father, and was going to God;
4 riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself.
arose from the supper, and laid aside his long garments, and took a linen cloth, and wrapped it about his loins;
5 Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
and poured water into a wash-basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples: and he wiped them with the linen cloth with which he had girded his loins.
6 So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
And when he came to Simon Cephas, Simon said to him: Dost thou, my Lord, wash my feet for me?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter.
Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do, thou understandest not now: but hereafter thou wilt understand.
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)
Simon Cephas said to him: Never shalt thou wash my feet. Jesus said to him: Unless I wash thee, thou hast no part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
Simon Cephas said to him: Then, my Lord, not my feet only shalt thou wash, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
Jesus said to him: He that hath bathed, needeth not but to wash his feet; for he is all clean. And ye also are clean; but not all of you.
11 For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
For Jesus knew, who would betray him: therefore he said, Ye are not all clean.
12 So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
And when he had washed their feet, he resumed his long garments, and reclined. And he said to them: Understand ye what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
Ye call me, Our Rabbi, and Our Lord; and ye speak well; for I am so.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
If then I, your Lord and your Rabbi, have washed your feet, how much more ought ye to wash the feet of one another?
15 For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you.
For I have given you this example, that ye might do, as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him.
Verily, verily, I say to you, That no servant is greater than his lord; and no legate is greater than he who sent him.
17 If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
If ye know these things, happy will ye be if ye 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 my bread lifted up his heel against me.
Not of you all, do I speak: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted his heel against me.
19 From henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he].
From this time, I tell you, before it occurs, that when it shall occur, ye may know that I am he.
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.
Verily, verily, I say to you: He that receiveth him whom I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
These things said Jesus, and he was agitated in his spirit; and he testified, and said: Verily, verily, I say to you, That one of you will betray me.
22 The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
And the disciples stared at one another; because they knew not, of whom he spake.
23 There was at the table reclining in Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
And there was one of his disciples, who was reclining on his bosom, he whom Jesus loved;
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell [us] who it is of whom he speaketh.
to him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him, who it was of whom he spoke.
25 He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
And that disciple fell upon the breast of Jesus, and said to him: My Lord, which is he?
26 Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, [the son] of Simon Iscariot.
Jesus answered and said: He it is, to whom I give the bread when I have dipped it. And Jesus dipped the bread, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly.
And after the bread, then Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: What thou doest, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
And no one of those reclining, knew, wherefore he said this to him.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
For some of them supposed, because the purse was in the hands of Judas, that Jesus expressly charged him to buy something needful for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.
30 He then having received the sop went out straightway: and it was night.
And Judas took the bread at once, and went out of the house. And it was night when he went out.
31 When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him;
And Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified; and God is glorified in him.
32 and God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he glorify him.
And if God is glorified in him, God will glorify him in himself; and will glorify him speedily.
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 unto you.
My children, a little longer I am with you; and ye will seek for me; and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go ye cannot come, so I now say to you.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
A new commandment I give to you, that ye be affectionate to each other. As I have loved you, do ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
By this will every one know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love for each other.
36 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow afterwards.
Simon Cephas said to him: Our Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, and said to him: Whither I go, thou canst not now come after me; but thou wilt at last come.
37 Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee.
Simon Cephas said to him: My Lord, why can I not come after thee? I would lay down my life for thee.
38 Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
Jesus said to him: Wouldst thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock will not crow, until thou hast three times denied me.
