John 13

The Lord’s Supper

Now before the Feast of ^athe Passover, Jesus knowing that ^bHis hour had come that He would depart out of this world ^cto the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them ¹to the end. 2 And during supper, ^athe devil having already put into the heart of ^bJudas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, 3 Jesus, ^aknowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that ^bHe had come forth from God and was going back to God, 4 *got up from supper, and *laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He ^atied it around Himself.

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

5 Then He *poured water into the washbasin, and began to ^awash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel which He had tied around Himself. 6 So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not realize now, but you will understand ^aafterwards.” 8 Peter *said to Him, “You will never wash my feet—ever!” Jesus answered him, “^aIf I do not wash you, ^byou have no part with Me.” 9 Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.” 10 Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ^ayou are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For ^aHe knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 So when He had washed their feet, and ^ataken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call Me ^aTeacher and ^bLord; and ¹you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, ^athe Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I gave you ^aan example that you also should do as I did to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^aa slave is not greater than his master, nor is ^bone who is sent greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are ^ablessed if you do them. 18 ^aI do not speak about all of you. I know the ones I have ^bchosen; but ^cthat the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘^dHe who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19 From now on ^aI am telling you before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe that ^bI am He. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^ahe who receives anyone I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21 When Jesus had said these things, He ^abecame troubled in spirit, and bore witness and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that ^bone of you will ¹betray Me.” 22 The disciples began looking at one another, ^aperplexed about whom He *spoke. 23 There was reclining on ^aJesus’ bosom one of His disciples, ^bwhom Jesus loved. 24 So Simon Peter *gestured to him to inquire, “Who is the one of whom He is speaking?” 25 He, ^aleaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, *said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus *answered, “He is the one for whom I shall dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread, He *took and *gave it to Judas, ^athe son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And after the piece of bread, ^aSatan then ^bentered into him. Therefore Jesus *said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29 For some were thinking, because Judas ^ahad the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of ^bfor the feast”; or else, that he should ^cgive something to the poor. 30 So after receiving the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And ^ait was night.
31 Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus *said, “Now ¹is ^athe Son of Man ^bglorified, and ^cGod ¹is glorified in Him; 32 ¹if God is glorified in Him, ^aGod will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately. 33 ^aLittle children, I am with you ^ba little while longer. ^cYou will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34 A ^anew commandment I give to you, ^bthat you love one another, ^ceven as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 ^aBy this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36 Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “^aWhere I go, you cannot follow Me now; but ^byou will follow later.” 37 Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? ^aI will lay down my life for You.” 38 Jesus *answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, ^aa rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.
