The Passover with the Disciples

^7 (A)Then came ^(B)the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. ⁸ So Jesus^[a] sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” ⁹ They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” ¹⁰ He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters ¹¹ and tell the master of the house, ^(C)‘The Teacher says to you, Where is ^(D)the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ ¹² And he will show you ^(E)a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.” ¹³ And they went and found it ^(F)just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Institution of the Lord's Supper

^14 (G)And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. ¹⁵ And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. ¹⁶ For I tell you I will not eat it^{[b] (H)}until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ¹⁷ And he took a cup, and ^(I)when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. ^18 (J)For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ^(K)until the kingdom of God comes.” ^19 (L)And he took bread, and ^(M)when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ^(N)“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁰ And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ^(O)“This cup that is poured out for you is ^(P)the new ^(Q)covenant in my blood.^{[c] 21 (R)}But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is ^(S)with me on the table. ²² For the Son of Man goes ^(T)as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” ²³ And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

Who Is the Greatest?

^24 (U)A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. ^25 (V)And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles ^(W)exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. ^26 (X)But not so with you. Rather, let ^(Y)the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. ²⁷ For who is the greater, ^(Z)one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But ^(AA)I am among you as the one who serves.

²⁸ “You are those who have stayed with me ^(AB)in my trials, ²⁹ and ^(AC)I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, ^30 (AD)that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and ^(AE)sit on thrones judging ^(AF)the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

³¹ “Simon, Simon, behold, ^(AG)Satan demanded to have you,^{[d] (AH)}that he might sift you like wheat, ³² but ^(AI)I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, ^(AJ)strengthen your brothers.” ³³ Peter^[e] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both ^(AK)to prison and ^(AL)to death.” ^34 (AM)Jesus^[f] said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

³⁵ And he said to them, ^(AN)“When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” ³⁶ He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. ³⁷ For I tell you that ^(AO)this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ^(AP)‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For ^(AQ)what is written about me has its fulfillment.” ³⁸ And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two ^(AR)swords.” And he said to them, ^(AS)“It is enough.”

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

^39 (AT)And he came out and went, ^(AU)as was his custom, to ^(AV)the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. ^40 (AW)And when he came to ^(AX)the place, he said to them, ^(AY)“Pray that you may not ^(AZ)enter into temptation.” ⁴¹ And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and ^(BA)knelt down and prayed, ⁴² saying, ^(BB)“Father, if you are willing, remove ^(BC)this cup from me. ^(BD)Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” ⁴³ And there appeared to him ^(BE)an angel from heaven, strengthening him. ⁴⁴ And ^(BF)being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.^{[g] 45} And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, ⁴⁶ and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and ^(BG)pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

13 Now ^(A)before ^(B)the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that ^(C)his hour had come ^(D)to depart out of this world to the Father, ^(E)having loved ^(F)his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. ² During supper, when ^(G)the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, ³ Jesus, knowing ^(H)that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that ^(I)he had come from God and ^(J)was going back to God, ⁴ rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, ^(K)tied it around his waist. ⁵ Then he ^(L)poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. ⁶ He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” ^7 (M)Jesus answered him, “What I am doing ^(N)you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” ^8 (O)Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, ^(P)“If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” ⁹ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” ¹⁰ Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, ^(Q)except for his feet,^[a] but is completely clean. And ^(R)you^[b] are clean, ^(S)but not every one of you.” ^11 (T)For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

¹² When he had washed their feet and ^(U)put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, ^(V)“Do you understand what I have done to you? ^13 (W)You call me ^(X)Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. ¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^(Y)you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, ^(Z)that you also should do just as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(AA)a servant^[c] is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. ¹⁷ If you know these things, ^(AB)blessed are you if you do them.

^34 (A)A new commandment ^(B)I give to you, ^(C)that you love one another: ^(D)just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ^35 (E)By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

²⁶ But the ^(A)Helper, the Holy Spirit, ^(B)whom the Father will send in my name, ^(C)he will teach you all things and ^(D)bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. ^27 (E)Peace I leave with you; ^(F)my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. ^(G)Let not your hearts be troubled, neither ^(H)let them be afraid.

¹¹ These things I have spoken to you, ^(A)that my joy may be in you, and that ^(B)your joy may be full.

^12 (C)“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ^13 (D)Greater love has no one than this, ^(E)that someone lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are ^(F)my friends ^(G)if you do what I command you. ^15 (H)No longer do I call you servants,^[a] for the servant ^(I)does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for ^(J)all that I have heard from my Father ^(K)I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You did not choose me, but ^(L)I chose you and appointed you that you should go and ^(M)bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that ^(N)whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, ^(O)so that you will love one another.

The Hatred of the World

^18 (P)“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. ^19 (Q)If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because ^(R)you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ^(S)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, ^(T)they will also persecute you. ^(U)If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. ²¹ But ^(V)all these things they will do to you ^(W)on account of my name, ^(X)because they do not know him who sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, ^(Y)they would not have been guilty of sin,^[b] but now they have no excuse for their sin. ^23 (Z)Whoever hates me hates my Father also. ^24 (AA)If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, ^(AB)they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have ^(AC)seen and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But ^(AD)the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: ^(AE)‘They hated me without a cause.’

²⁶ “But ^(AF)when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, ^(AG)he will bear witness about me. ²⁷ And ^(AH)you also will bear witness, ^(AI)because you have been with me ^(AJ)from the beginning.

16 “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. ^2 (AK)They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, ^(AL)the hour is coming when ^(AM)whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. ³ And they will do these things ^(AN)because they have not known the Father, nor me. ⁴ But ^(AO)I have said these things to you, that when ^(AP)their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, ^(AQ)because I was with you. ⁵ But now ^(AR)I am going to him who sent me, and ^(AS)none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, ^(AT)sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for ^(AU)if I do not go away, ^(AV)the Helper will not come to you. But ^(AW)if ^(AX)I go, ^(AY)I will send him to you. ^8 (AZ)And when he comes, he will ^(BA)convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹ concerning sin, ^(BB)because they do not believe in me; ^10 (BC)concerning righteousness, ^(BD)because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; ^11 (BE)concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world ^(BF)is judged.

³³ I have said these things to you, that ^(A)in me you may have peace. ^(B)In the world you will have ^(C)tribulation. But ^(D)take heart; ^(E)I have overcome the world.”

The High Priestly Prayer

17 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^(F)he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, ^(G)the hour has come; ^(H)glorify your Son that the Son may ^(I)glorify you, ² since ^(J)you have given him authority over all flesh, ^(K)to give eternal life to all ^(L)whom you have given him. ^3 (M)And this is eternal life, ^(N)that they know you, ^(O)the only ^(P)true God, and ^(Q)Jesus Christ whom you have sent. ⁴ I ^(R)glorified you on earth, ^(S)having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. ⁵ And now, Father, ^(T)glorify me in your own presence with the glory ^(U)that I had with you ^(V)before the world existed.

^22 (A)The glory that you have given me ^(B)I have given to them, ^(C)that they may be one even as we are one,
