John

13 Now before the feast of the passover Jesus knowing that his hour had come that he should remove out of this world unto the Father having loved his own that were in the world unto the end loved them.

2 And supper being in progress, the adversary having already thrust into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot that he should deliver him up,—

3 [Jesus] knowing that all things the Father had given unto him into his hands, and that from God he had come and unto God he was going

4 rouseth himself out of the supper, and layeth aside his garments, and taking a linen cloth girded himself.

5 Next he poureth water into the wash-basin, and began to be washing the feet of the disciples and to be wiping them with the linen cloth wherewith he was girded.

6 So he cometh unto Simon Peter. He saith unto him—Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

7 Jesus answered and said unto him—What I am doing thou knowest not as yet; Howbeit thou shalt get to know hereafter.

8 Peter saith unto him—In nowise shalt thou ever wash my feet. Jesus answered him—If I wash thee not thou hast no part with me.

9 Simon Peter saith unto him—Lord! not my feet only, but my hands also and my head.

10 Jesus saith unto him—He that hath bathed himself hath no need [save as to the feet] to get washed; but is pure as a whole. And ye are pure, but not ye all.

11 For he knew the man that was delivering him up; therefore said he—Not ye all are pure.

12 When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments and reclined again said he unto them—Are ye taking note what I have done unto you?

13 Ye call me The Teacher and The Lord,—and well say, for I am.

14 If then I have washed your feet,—[I] The Lord and The Teacher Ye also ought to wash one another’s feet;

15 For an example have I given you,—That just as I did unto you Ye also should be doing.

16 Verily, verily I say unto you—A servant is not greater than his lord, Neither one sent forth greater than he that sent him.

17 If these things ye know Happy are ye if ye be doing them.

18 Not concerning you all am I speaking,—For I know of whom I made choice; But . . . that the Scripture might be fulfilled: He that feedeth on my bread Hath lifted up against me his heel.

19 Henceforth I tell you before it cometh to pass,—That ye may believe whensoever it doth come to pass that I am he.

20 Verily, verily I say unto you—He that receiveth whomsoever I shall send Receiveth me; And he that receiveth me Receiveth him that sent me.

21 These things having said Jesus was troubled in spirit, and bare witness and said—Verily, verily I say unto you—One from among you will deliver me up.

22 The disciples began to look one at another, being at a loss concerning whom he was speaking.

23 One of Jesus’ disciples was reclining in his bosom, one whom Jesus loved:

24 so Simon Peter beckoneth unto the same, and saith unto him—Say Who is it? concerning whom he speaketh.

25 He falling back thus upon the breast of Jesus saith unto him—Lord! who is it?

26 Jesus therefore answereth—That one it is for whom I shall dip the morsel and give unto him. So dipping the morsel he taketh and giveth it unto Judas son of Simon Iscariot.

27 And after the morsel then entered Satan into that man. Jesus therefore saith unto him—What thou art doing do quickly!

28 But as to this none of them who were reclining with him knew respecting what he said it to him.

29 For some were thinking since Judas held the bag that Jesus was saying to him—Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that unto the destitute he should give something.

30 So he taking the morsel went out straightway;—and it was night.

31 When therefore he had gone out Jesus saith—Just now was the Son of Man glorified, And God was glorified in him;

32 And God will glorify him in himself,—And straightway glorify him.

33 Dear children! Yet a little am I with you. Ye shall seek me, and just as I said unto the Jews Whither I go ye cannot come Unto you also I say it even now.

34 A new commandment give I unto you,—That ye be loving one another: Just as I loved you That ye also be loving one another:

35 By this shall all men take knowledge that my disciples ye are,—If ye have love one to another.

36 Simon Peter saith unto him—Lord! whither dost thou withdraw? Jesus answered—Whither I withdraw thou canst not now follow me, But thou shalt follow hereafter.

37 Peter saith unto him—Lord! why cannot I follow thee even now? My life in thy behalf will I lay down.

38 Jesus answereth—Thy life in my behalf wilt thou lay down? Verily, verily I say unto thee—In nowise shall a cock crow Till thou hast denied me thrice.
