John 13-15 (New American Standard Bible)

John 13

The Lord's Supper

 ¹Now before the Feast of ^(A)the Passover, Jesus knowing that ^(B)His hour had come that He would depart out of this world ^(C)to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

 ²During supper, ^(D)the devil having already put into the heart of ^(E)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

 ³Jesus, ^(F)knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that ^(G)He had come forth from God and was going back to God,

 ⁴got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He ^(H)girded Himself.

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

 ⁵Then He poured water into the basin, and began to ^(I)wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

 ⁶So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet?"

 ⁷Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand ^(J)hereafter."

 ⁸Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "^(K)If I do not wash you, ^(L)you have no part with Me."

 ⁹Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."

 ¹⁰Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ^(M)you are clean, but not all of you."

 ¹¹For ^(N)He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean."

 ¹²So when He had washed their feet, and ^(O)taken 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 ^(P)Teacher and ^(Q)Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

 ¹⁴"If I then, ^(R)the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

 ¹⁵"For I gave you ^(S)an example that you also should do as I did to you.

 ¹⁶"Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(T)a slave is not greater than his master, nor is ^(U)one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

 ¹⁷"If you know these things, you are ^(V)blessed if you do them.

 ¹⁸"^(W)I do not speak of all of you I know the ones I have ^(X)chosen; but it is ^(Y)that the Scripture may be fulfilled, '^(Z)HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'

 ¹⁹"From now on ^(AA)I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that ^(AB)I am He.

 ²⁰"Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(AC)he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

 ²¹When Jesus had said this, He ^(AD)became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that ^(AE)one of you will betray Me."

 ²²The disciples began looking at one another, ^(AF)at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

 ²³There was reclining on ^(AG)Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, ^(AH)whom Jesus loved.

 ²⁴So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking."

 ²⁵He, ^(AI)leaning back thus on Jesus' bosom, said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"

 ²⁶Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, ^(AJ)the son of Simon Iscariot.

 ²⁷After the morsel, ^(AK)Satan then ^(AL)entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

 ²⁸Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

 ²⁹For some were supposing, because Judas ^(AM)had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of ^(AN)for the feast"; or else, that he should ^(AO)give something to the poor.

 ³⁰So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and ^(AP)it was night.

 ³¹Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is ^(AQ)the Son of Man ^(AR)glorified, and ^(AS)God is glorified in Him;

 ³²if God is glorified in Him, ^(AT)God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

 ³³"^(AU)Little children, I am with you ^(AV)a little while longer ^(AW)You 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 ^(AX)new commandment I give to you, ^(AY)that you love one another, ^(AZ)even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

 ³⁵"^(BA)By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

 ³⁶Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered, "^(BB)Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but ^(BC)you will follow later."

 ³⁷Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You right now? ^(BD)I will lay down my life for You."

 ³⁸Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(BE)a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

John 14

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

 ¹"^(BF)Do not let your heart be troubled; ^[a]believe in God, believe also in Me.

 ²"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for ^(BG)I go to prepare a place for you.

 ³"If I go and prepare a place for you, ^(BH)I will come again and receive you to Myself, that ^(BI)where I am, there you may be also.

 ⁴"And you know the way where I am going."

 ^5(BJ)Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?"

 ⁶Jesus said to him, "I am ^(BK)the way, and ^(BL)the truth, and ^(BM)the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Oneness with the Father

 ⁷"^(BN)If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you ^(BO)know Him, and have ^(BP)seen Him."

 ^8(BQ)Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

 ⁹Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? ^(BR)He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

 ¹⁰"Do you not believe that ^(BS)I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? ^(BT)The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

 ¹¹"Believe Me that ^(BU)I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise ^(BV)believe because of the works themselves.

 ¹²"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and ^(BW)greater works than these he will do; because ^(BX)I go to the Father.

 ¹³"^(BY)Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that ^(BZ)the Father may be glorified in the Son.

 ¹⁴"If you ask Me anything ^(CA)in My name, I will do it.

 ¹⁵"^(CB)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Role of the Spirit

 ¹⁶"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another ^(CC)Helper, that He may be with you forever;

 ¹⁷that is ^(CD)the Spirit of truth, ^(CE)whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

 ¹⁸"I will not leave you as orphans; ^(CF)I will come to you.

 ¹⁹"^(CG)After a little while ^(CH)the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; ^(CI)because I live, you will live also.

 ²⁰"^(CJ)In that day you will know that ^(CK)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

 ²¹"^(CL)He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and ^(CM)he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will ^(CN)disclose Myself to him."

 ^22(CO)Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened ^(CP)that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?"

 ²³Jesus answered and said to him, "^(CQ)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(CR)keep My word; and ^(CS)My Father will love him, and We ^(CT)will come to him and make Our abode with him.

 ²⁴"He who does not love Me ^(CU)does not keep My words; and ^(CV)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

 ²⁵"These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you.

 ²⁶"But the ^(CW)Helper, the Holy Spirit, ^(CX)whom the Father will send in My name, ^(CY)He will teach you all things, and ^(CZ)bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

 ²⁷"^(DA)Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you ^(DB)Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

 ²⁸"^(DC)You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and ^(DD)I will come to you ' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because ^(DE)I go to the Father, for ^(DF)the Father is greater than I.

 ²⁹"Now ^(DG)I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

 ³⁰"I will not speak much more with you, for ^(DH)the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;

 ³¹but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as ^(DI)the Father commanded Me Get up, ^(DJ)let us go from here.

John 15

Jesus Is the Vine--Followers Are Branches

 ¹"^(DK)I am the true vine, and My Father is the ^(DL)vinedresser.

 ²"Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He ^[b]prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

 ³"^(DM)You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

 ⁴"^(DN)Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

 ⁵"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he ^(DO)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

 ⁶"If anyone does not abide in Me, he is ^(DP)thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

 ⁷"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ^(DQ)ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

 ⁸"My ^(DR)Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so ^(DS)prove to be My disciples.

 ⁹"Just as ^(DT)the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.

 ¹⁰"^(DU)If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as ^(DV)I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

 ¹¹"^(DW)These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your ^(DX)joy may be made full.

Disciples' Relation to Each Other

 ¹²"This is ^(DY)My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

 ¹³"^(DZ)Greater love has no one than this, that one ^(EA)lay down his life for his friends.

 ¹⁴"You are My ^(EB)friends if ^(EC)you do what I command you.

 ¹⁵"No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for ^(ED)all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

 ¹⁶"^(EE)You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and ^(EF)bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that ^(EG)whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

 ¹⁷"This ^(EH)I command you, that you love one another.

Disciples' Relation to the World

 ¹⁸"^(EI)If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

 ¹⁹"If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but ^(EJ)I chose you out of the world, ^(EK)because of this the world hates you.

 ²⁰"Remember the word that I said to you, '^(EL)A slave is not greater than his master ' If they persecuted Me, ^(EM)they will also persecute you; if they ^(EN)kept My word, they will keep yours also.

 ²¹"But all these things they will do to you ^(EO)for My name's sake, ^(EP)because they do not know the One who sent Me.

 ²²"^(EQ)If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

 ²³"He who hates Me hates My Father also.

 ²⁴"^(ER)If I had not done among them ^(ES)the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

 ²⁵"But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their ^(ET)Law, '^(EU)THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'

 ²⁶"When the ^(EV)Helper comes, ^(EW)whom I will send to you from the Father, that is ^(EX)the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, ^(EY)He will testify about Me,

 ²⁷and ^(EZ)you will testify also, because you have been with Me ^(FA)from the beginning.
