John 13

13It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.G1161G4253G1859G3957G2424G1492G3754G846G5610G2064G2443G3327G1537G5127G2889G4314G3962G25G2398G3588G1722G2889G25G846G1519G50562The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.G2532G1173G1096G1228G2235G906G1519G2588G2455G2469G4613G2443G3860G8463Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;G2424G1492G3754G3962G1325G3956G1519G846G5495G2532G3754G1831G575G2316G2532G5217G4314G23164so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.G1453G1537G1173G2532G5087G2440G2532G2983G3012G1241G14385After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.G1534G906G5204G1519G3537G2532G756G3538G3101G4228G2532G1591G3012G3739G2258G12416He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"G3767G2064G4314G4613G4074G2532G1565G3004G846G2962G3538G4771G3538G3450G42287Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G3739G1473G4160G4771G1492G3756G737G1161G1097G3326G50238"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."G4074G3004G846G3538G1519G165G3364G3538G3450G4228G2424G611G846G3362G3538G4571G3362G2192G3756G3313G3326G17009"Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"G4613G4074G3004G846G2962G3361G3450G4228G3440G235G2532G5495G2532G277610Jesus answered, "Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you."G2424G3004G846G3068G5532G3756G2192G2228G3538G4228G235G2076G2513G3650G2532G5210G2075G2513G235G3780G395611For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.G1063G1492G3588G3860G846G5124G1223G2036G2075G3780G3956G251312When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them.G3767G3753G3538G846G4228G2532G2983G846G2440G377G3825G2036G846G1097G5101G4160G521313"You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am.G5210G5455G3165G1320G2532G2962G2532G3004G2573G1063G151014Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.G1487G1473G3767G2962G2532G1320G3538G5216G4228G5210G2532G3784G3538G240G422815I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.G1063G1325G5213G5262G2443G5210G4160G2531G2532G1473G4160G521316Very truly I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them.G281G281G3004G5213G1401G2076G3756G3187G846G2962G3761G652G3187G3992G84617Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.G1487G1492G5023G3107G2075G1437G4160G84618"I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: 'He who shared my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'G3004G3756G4012G5216G3956G1473G1492G3739G1586G235G2443G1124G4137G5176G740G3326G1700G1869G846G4418G1909G169119"I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am.G575G737G3004G5213G4253G1096G2443G3752G1096G4100G3754G1473G151020Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me."G281G281G3004G5213G2983G1437G5100G3992G2983G1691G1161G2983G1691G2983G3992G316521After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, "Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me."G2424G2036G5023G2036G5015G4151G2532G3140G2532G2036G281G281G3004G5213G3754G1520G1537G5216G3860G316522His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant.G3767G3101G991G1519G240G639G4012G5101G300423One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.G1161G2258G345G1722G2424G2859G1520G846G3101G3739G2424G2524Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, "Ask him which one he means."G4613G4074G3767G3506G5129G4441G5101G302G1498G4012G3739G300425Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, "Lord, who is it?"G1565G1161G1968G1909G2424G4738G3004G846G2962G5101G207626Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.G2424G611G1565G2076G3739G1929G5596G1473G911G2532G1686G5596G1325G2455G2469G461327As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, "What you are about to do, do quickly."G2532G3326G5596G5119G4567G1525G1519G1565G3767G3004G2424G846G3739G4160G4160G503228But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.G1161G3762G345G1097G4314G5101G2036G5124G84629Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the Festival, or to give something to the poor.G1063G5100G1380G1893G2455G2192G1101G3754G2424G3004G846G59G3739G2192G5532G1519G1859G2228G2443G1325G5100G443430As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.G1565G3767G2983G5596G1831G2112G1831G1161G2258G357131When he was gone, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him.G3767G3753G1831G2424G3004G3568G1392G5207G444G1392G2532G2316G1392G1722G84632If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.G1487G2316G1392G1722G846G2316G1392G2532G1392G846G1722G1438G2532G1392G2117G1392G84633"My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.G5040G2089G3397G1510G3326G5216G2212G3165G2532G2531G2036G2453G3754G3699G1473G5217G5210G3756G1410G2064G2532G737G3004G521334"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.G2537G1785G1325G5213G2443G25G240G2531G25G5209G2443G5210G2532G25G24035By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."G1722G5129G1097G3956G1097G3754G2075G1699G3101G1437G2192G26G1722G24036Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus replied, "Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later."G4613G4074G3004G846G2962G4226G5217G2424G611G846G3699G5217G1410G3756G190G3427G3568G1161G190G3427G530537Peter asked, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."G4074G3004G846G2962G1302G3756G1410G190G4671G737G5087G3450G5590G5228G467538Then Jesus answered, "Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!G2424G611G846G5087G4675G5590G5228G1700G281G281G3004G4671G220G5455G3364G5455G2193G3739G533G3165G5151
