| Chapter 13 |
1 | And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who [are] in the world -- to the end he loved them.
|
2 | And supper being come, the devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,
|
3 | Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him -- into [his] hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,
|
4 | doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;
|
5 | afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.
|
6 | He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, 'Sir, thou -- dost thou wash my feet?'
|
7 | Jesus answered and said to him, 'That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'
|
8 | Peter saith to him, 'Thou mayest not wash my feet -- to the age.' Jesus answered him, 'If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;'
|
9 | Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'
|
10 | Jesus saith to him, 'He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'
|
11 | for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'
|
12 | When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, 'Do ye know what I have done to you?
|
13 | ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;
|
14 | if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher -- ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
|
15 | 'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;
|
16 | verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;
|
17 | if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;
|
18 | not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.
|
19 | 'From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he];
|
20 | verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'
|
21 | These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'
|
22 | the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.
|
23 | And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;
|
24 | Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,
|
25 | and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?'
|
26 | Jesus answereth, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.
|
27 | And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, 'What thou dost -- do quickly;'
|
28 | and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,
|
29 | for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;
|
30 | having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.
|
31 | When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;
|
32 | if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.
|
33 | 'Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say [it] now.
|
34 | 'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;
|
35 | in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'
|
36 | Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'
|
37 | Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'
|
38 | Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'
