Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

13Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.G1161G4253G1859G3957G2424G1492G3754G846G5610G2064G2443G3327G1537G5127G2889G4314G3962G25G2398G3588G1722G2889G25G846G1519G5056 2And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,G2532G1173G1096G1228G2235G906G1519G2588G2455G2469G4613G2443G3860G846 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,G2424G1492G3754G3962G1325G3956G1519G846G5495G2532G3754G1831G575G2316G2532G5217G4314G2316 4rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.G1453G1537G1173G2532G5087G2440G2532G2983G3012G1241G1438 5After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.G1534G906G5204G1519G3537G2532G756G3538G3101G4228G2532G1591G3012G3739G2258G1241 6Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"G3767G2064G4314G4613G4074G2532G1565G3004G846G2962G3538G4771G3538G3450G4228 7Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G3739G1473G4160G4771G1492G3756G737G1161G1097G3326G5023 8Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."G4074G3004G846G3538G1519G165G3364G3538G3450G4228G2424G611G846G3362G3538G4571G3362G2192G3756G3313G3326G1700 9Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"G4613G4074G3004G846G2962G3361G3450G4228G3440G235G2532G5495G2532G2776 10Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."G2424G3004G846G3068G5532G3756G2192G2228G3538G4228G235G2076G2513G3650G2532G5210G2075G2513G235G3780G3956 11For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."G1063G1492G3588G3860G846G5124G1223G2036G2075G3780G3956G2513 12So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?G3767G3753G3538G846G4228G2532G2983G846G2440G377G3825G2036G846G1097G5101G4160G5213 13"You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.G5210G5455G3165G1320G2532G2962G2532G3004G2573G1063G1510 14"If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.G1487G1473G3767G2962G2532G1320G3538G5216G4228G5210G2532G3784G3538G240G4228 15"For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.G1063G1325G5213G5262G2443G5210G4160G2531G2532G1473G4160G5213 16"Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.G281G281G3004G5213G1401G2076G3756G3187G846G2962G3761G652G3187G3992G846 17"If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.G1487G1492G5023G3107G2075G1437G4160G846

Jesus Identifies His Betrayer

18"I do not 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.'G3004G3756G4012G5216G3956G1473G1492G3739G1586G235G2443G1124G4137G5176G740G3326G1700G1869G846G4418G1909G1691 19"Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.G575G737G3004G5213G4253G1096G2443G3752G1096G4100G3754G1473G1510 20"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."G281G281G3004G5213G2983G1437G5100G3992G2983G1691G1161G2983G1691G2983G3992G3165 21When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."G2424G2036G5023G2036G5015G4151G2532G3140G2532G2036G281G281G3004G5213G3754G1520G1537G5216G3860G3165 22Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.G3767G3101G991G1519G240G639G4012G5101G3004 23Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.G1161G2258G345G1722G2424G2859G1520G846G3101G3739G2424G25 24Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.G4613G4074G3767G3506G5129G4441G5101G302G1498G4012G3739G3004 25Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"G1565G1161G1968G1909G2424G4738G3004G846G2962G5101G2076 26Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.G2424G611G1565G2076G3739G1929G5596G1473G911G2532G1686G5596G1325G2455G2469G4613 27Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."G2532G3326G5596G5119G4567G1525G1519G1565G3767G3004G2424G846G3739G4160G4160G5032 28But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.G1161G3762G345G1097G4314G5101G2036G5124G846 29For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, "Buy those things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.G1063G5100G1380G1893G2455G2192G1101G3754G2424G3004G846G59G3739G2192G5532G1519G1859G2228G2443G1325G5100G4434 30Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.G1565G3767G2983G5596G1831G2112G1831G1161G2258G3571

The New Commandment

31So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.G3767G3753G1831G2424G3004G3568G1392G5207G444G1392G2532G2316G1392G1722G846 32"If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately.G1487G2316G1392G1722G846G2316G1392G2532G1392G846G1722G1438G2532G1392G2117G1392G846 33"Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to you.G5040G2089G3397G1510G3326G5216G2212G3165G2532G2531G2036G2453G3754G3699G1473G5217G5210G3756G1410G2064G2532G737G3004G5213 34"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.G2537G1785G1325G5213G2443G25G240G2531G25G5209G2443G5210G2532G25G240 35"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."G1722G5129G1097G3956G1097G3754G2075G1699G3101G1437G2192G26G1722G240

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

36Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward."G4613G4074G3004G846G2962G4226G5217G2424G611G846G3699G5217G1410G3756G190G3427G3568G1161G190G3427G5305 37Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake."G4074G3004G846G2962G1302G3756G1410G190G4671G737G5087G3450G5590G5228G4675 38Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.G2424G611G846G5087G4675G5590G5228G1700G281G281G3004G4671G220G5455G3364G5455G2193G3739G533G3165G5151
