1Just before <4253> the Passover <3957> feast <1859>, Jesus <2424> knew <1492> that <3754> his <846> time <5610> had come <2064> to <2443> depart <3327> from <1537> this <5127> world <2889> to <4314> the <3588> Father <3962>. Having loved <25> his own <2398> who were in <1722> the world <2889>, he now loved <25> them <846> to <1519> the very end <5056>.
2The evening meal <1173> was in progress <1096>, and the devil <1228> had <906> already <2235> put <906> into <1519> the heart <2588> of Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, Simon’s son <4613>, that <2443> he should betray <3860> Jesus <846>.
3Because Jesus knew <1492> that <3754> the Father <3962> had handed <1325> all things <3956> over <1325> to him <846>, and <2532> that <3754> he had come <1831> from <575> God <2316> and <2532> was going back <5217> to <4314> God <2316>,
4he got up <1453> from <1537> the meal <1173>, removed <5087> his outer clothes <2440>, took <2983> a towel <3012> and <2532> tied <1241> it around <1241> himself <1438>.
5He poured <906> water <5204> into <1519> the washbasin <3537> and <2532> began <756> to wash <3538> the disciples <3101>’ feet <4228> and <2532> to dry <1591> them with the towel <3012> he had <1510> wrapped around <1241> himself.
6Then <3767> he came <2064> to <4314> Simon <4613> Peter <4074>. Peter said <3004> to him <846>, “Lord <2962>, are <3538> you <4771> going to wash <3538> my <3450> feet <4228>?”
7Jesus <2424> replied <611> <2036>, “You <4771> do <1492> not <3756> understand <1492> what <3739> I <1473> am doing <4160> now <737>, but <1161> you will understand <1097> after <3326> these things <5023>.”
8Peter <4074> said <3004> to him <846>, “You will <3538> never <3756> <3361> wash <3538> my <3450> feet <4228>!” Jesus <2424> replied <611>, “If <1437> I do <3538> not <3361> wash <3538> you <4571>, you have <2192> no <3756> share <3313> with <3326> me <1700>.”
9Simon <4613> Peter <4074> said <3004> to him <846>, “Lord <2962>, wash not <3361> only <3440> my <3450> feet <4228>, but <235> also <2532> my hands <5495> and <2532> my head <2776>!”
10Jesus <2424> replied <3004>, “The one who has bathed <3068> needs <5532> only <1487> to wash <3538> his feet <4228>, but <235> is <1510> completely <3650> clean <2513>. And <2532> you <5210> disciples are <1510> clean <2513>, but <235> not <3780> every <3956> one of you.”
11(For <1063> Jesus knew <1492> the one who was going to betray <3860> him <846>. For <1223> this reason <5124> he said <2036>, “Not <3780> every one <3956> of you is <1510> clean <2513>.”)
12So <3767> when <3753> Jesus had washed <3538> their <846> feet <4228> and <2532> put <2983> his <846> outer clothing <2440> back on <2983>, he took <377> his place at the table <377> again <3825> and <2532> said <2036> to them <846>, “Do you understand <1097> what <5101> I have done <4160> for you <5213>?
13You <5210> call <5455> me <3165> ‘Teacher <1320>’ and <2532> ‘Lord <2962>,’ and <2532> do so correctly <2573>, for <1063> that is what I am <1510>.
14If <1487> I <1473> then <3767>, your Lord <2962> and <2532> Teacher <1320>, have washed <3538> your <5216> feet <4228>, you <5210> too <2532> ought to <3784> wash <3538> one another’s <240> feet <4228>.
15For <1063> I have given <1325> you <5213> an example <5262>– you <5210> should do <4160> just as <2531> I <1473> have done <4160> for you <5213>.
16I tell <3004> you <5213> the solemn truth <281> <281>, the slave <1401> is <1510> not <3756> greater than <3187> his <846> master <2962>, nor <3761> is the one who is sent as a messenger <652> greater than <3187> the one who sent <3992> him <846>.
17If <1487> you understand <1492> these things <5023>, you will be <1510> blessed <3107> if <1437> you do <4160> them <846>.
18“What <5101> I am saying <3004> does not <3756> refer <4012> to all <3956> of you <5216>. I <1473> know <1492> the ones I have chosen <1586>. But <235> this is to fulfill <4137> the scripture <1124>, ‘The one who eats <5176> my <3450> bread <740> has turned <1869> against <1909> me <1691>.’
19I am telling <3004> you <5213> this now <737>, before <4253> it happens <1096>, so that <2443> when <3752> it happens <1096> you may believe <4100> that <3754> I <1473> am <1510> he.
20I tell <3004> you <5213> the solemn truth <281> <281>, whoever <302> accepts <2983> the one <5100> I send <3992> accepts <2983> me <1691>, and <1161> whoever accepts <2983> me <1691> accepts <2983> the one who sent <3992> me <3165>.”
21When <2036> he had said <2036> these things <5023>, Jesus <2424> was greatly distressed <5015> in spirit <4151>, and <2532> testified <3140> <2532> <2036>, “I tell <3004> you <5213> the solemn truth <281> <281>, one <1520> of <1537> you <5216> will betray <3860> me <3165>.”
22The disciples <3101> began to look at <991> one another <240>, worried and perplexed <639> to know which of them <5101> he was talking <3004> about.
23One <1520> of <1537> his <846> disciples <3101>, the one Jesus <2424> loved <25>, was <1510> at the table <345> to the right of Jesus <2424> in <1722> a place of honor <2859>.
24So <3767> Simon <4613> Peter <4074> gestured <3506> to this <5129> disciple to ask <3004> Jesus <846> who <5101> it was <1510> he was <4012> referring to <3004>.
25Then <3779> the disciple whom Jesus loved <1565> leaned back <377> against <1909> Jesus <2424>’ chest <4738> and asked <3004> him <846>, “Lord <2962>, who <5101> is <1510> it?”
26Jesus <2424> replied <611>, “It is <1510> the one to whom <3739> I <1473> will give <1325> this piece of bread <5596> after I have dipped <911> it in the dish.” Then he dipped <911> the piece of bread <5596> in the dish and <2532> gave <1325> it to Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, Simon’s son <4613>.
27And <2532> after <3326> Judas took the piece of bread <5596>, Satan <4567> entered <1525> into <1519> him <1565>. Jesus <2424> said <3004> to him <846>, “What you are about to do <4160>, do <4160> quickly <5032>.”
28(Now <1161> none <3762> of those <5124> present at the table <345> understood <1097> why <5101> Jesus said <2036> this to Judas <846>.
29Some <5100> thought <1380> that <3754>, because <1063> Judas <2455> had <2192> the money box <1101>, Jesus <2424> was telling <3004> him <846> to buy <59> whatever <3739> they needed <2192> needed <5532> for <1519> the feast <1859>, or <2228> to <2443> give <1325> something <5100> to the poor <4434>.)
30Judas took <2983> the piece of bread <5596> and went out <1831> immediately <2117>. (Now <1161> it was <1510> night <3571>.)
31When <3753> Judas had gone out <1831>, Jesus <2424> said <3004>, “Now <3568> the Son <5207> of Man <444> is glorified <1392>, and <2532> God <2316> is glorified <1392> in <1722> him <846>.
32If God <2316> is glorified in him, God will <1392> also <2532> glorify <1392> him <846> in <1722> himself <846>, and <2532> he will glorify <1392> him <846> right away <2117>.
33Children <5040>, I am <1510> still <2089> with <3326> you <5216> for a little while <3397>. You will look for <2212> me <3165>, and <2532> just as <2531> I said <2036> to the Jewish religious leaders <2453>, ‘Where <3699> I <1473> am going <5217> you <5210> cannot <3756> <1410> come <2064>,’ now <737> I tell <3004> you <5213> the same.
34“I give <1325> you <5213> a new <2537> commandment <1785>– to <2443> love <25> one another <240>. Just as <2531> I have loved <25> you <5209>, you <5210> also <2532> are <25> to <2443> love <25> one another <240>.
35Everyone <3956> will know <1097> by <1722> this <5129> that <3754> you are <1510> my <1698> disciples <3101>– if <1437> you have <2192> love <26> for <1722> one another <240>.”
36Simon <4613> Peter <4074> said <3004> to him <846>, “Lord <2962>, where <4226> are you going <5217>?” Jesus <2424> replied <611>, “Where <3699> I am going <5217>, you cannot <1410> cannot <3756> follow <190> me <3427> now <3568>, but <1161> you will follow <190> later <5305>.”
37Peter <4074> said <3004> to him <846>, “Lord <2962>, why <5101> can’t <3756> <1410> I follow <190> you <4671> now <737>? I will lay down <5087> my <3450> life <5590> for <5228> you <4675>!”
38Jesus <2424> answered <611>, “Will you lay down <5087> your <4675> life <5590> for <5228> me <1700>? I tell <3004> you <4671> the solemn truth <281> <281>, the rooster <220> will <5455> not <3756> <3361> crow <5455> until <2193> you have denied <720> me <3165> three times <5151>!
