Verse 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.
Verse 2
After supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,
Verse 3
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,
Verse 4
arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
Verse 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.
Verse 6
Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
Verse 7
Jesus answered him, "You don't know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."
Verse 8
Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me."
Verse 9
Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"
Verse 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."
Verse 11
For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean."
Verse 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?
Verse 13
You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am.
Verse 14
If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
Verse 15
For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.
Verse 16
Most assuredly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
Verse 17
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Verse 18
I don't 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.'
Verse 19
From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I AM.
Verse 20
Most assuredly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me."
Verse 21
When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Most assuredly I tell you that one of you will betray me."
Verse 22
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
Verse 23
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus' breast.
Verse 24
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."
Verse 25
He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"
Verse 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.
Verse 27
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
Verse 28
Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.
Verse 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.
Verse 30
Therefore, having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
Verse 31
When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
Verse 32
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
Verse 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 can't come,' so now I tell you.
Verse 34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
Verse 35
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
Verse 36
Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you can't follow now, but you will follow afterwards."
Verse 37
Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
Verse 38
Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me? Most assuredly I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have denied me three times.
