耶稣为门徒洗脚

13 逾越节之前,耶稣知道自己快要离开世界回到父那里了。祂一直爱世上属自己的人,并且爱他们到底。 吃晚饭的时候,魔鬼已经把出卖耶稣的念头放在加略人西门的儿子犹大的心里。 耶稣知道父将一切交给了祂,也知道自己从上帝那里来、要回到上帝那里, 就离席站起来,脱了外衣,把毛巾束在腰间, 然后倒了一盆水为门徒洗脚,用束在腰间的毛巾擦干。 轮到西门·彼得的时候,他说:“主啊!你要洗我的脚吗?”

耶稣回答说:“我这样做,你现在虽然不明白,将来一定会明白。”

彼得说:“你绝对不可以洗我的脚。”

耶稣说:“如果我不洗你的脚,你就和我没有关系了。”

西门·彼得说:“主啊,不只我的脚,连我的手和头也帮我洗吧。”

10 耶稣说:“洗过澡的人全身是干净的,只要洗洗脚就好了。你们是干净的,但不是每一个都干净。”

11 因为耶稣知道谁要出卖祂,所以说:“你们不是每一个都干净。”

12 耶稣给门徒洗完了脚,便穿上外衣再次坐下来,然后问道:“我为你们做的,你们明白吗? 13 你们称呼我‘老师’,也称呼我‘主’,你们称呼得对,因为我是。 14 我是你们的老师又是你们的主,尚且给你们洗脚,你们更应当彼此洗脚。 15 我给你们立了一个榜样,好让你们效法我。

16 “我实实在在地告诉你们,奴仆不能大过主人,受差遣的也不能大过差遣他的人。 17 既然你们明白这个道理,如果去实践,就有福了。 18 我这话不是对你们每一个人说的,我知道我拣选了谁,但这是为了要应验圣经上的话,‘吃我饭的人用脚踢我。’[a] 19 我在事情还没有发生之前,预先告诉你们,等事情发生以后,你们就会相信我是基督。 20 我实实在在地告诉你们,人若接待我所差遣的,就是接待我;接待我,就是接待差我来的那位。”

预言犹大卖主

21 说完这番话,耶稣心里忧伤,便宣布说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,你们中间有一个人要出卖我。” 22 门徒面面相觑,不知道耶稣指的是谁。 23-24 西门·彼得向耶稣所爱的那个门徒点头示意,让他问耶稣到底是谁要出卖祂。那门徒坐在耶稣旁边, 25 便顺势靠过去问耶稣:“主啊,是谁呢?”

26 耶稣回答说:“我蘸一点饼给谁,就是谁。”耶稣就蘸了一点饼,递给加略人西门的儿子犹大。 27 犹大吃了以后,撒旦就进了他的心。耶稣对他说:“你要做的事,赶快去做吧!” 28 同桌吃饭的人没有人明白耶稣这话的意思。 29 因为犹大是管钱的,有人以为耶稣是叫他去买过节的用品,或者去周济穷人。 30 犹大吃过那块饼后,立刻出去了。那时候是晚上。

新命令

31 犹大出去以后,耶稣就说:“现在人子得到荣耀了,上帝在人子身上也得了荣耀。 32 上帝既然在人子身上得了荣耀,也要让人子在祂身上得荣耀,并且马上要使人子得荣耀。 33 孩子们,我与你们同在的时间不多了,以后你们要找我,但我去的地方,你们不能去。这句话我以前对犹太人说过,现在也照样告诉你们。 34 我赐给你们一条新命令——你们要彼此相爱。我怎样爱你们,你们也要怎样彼此相爱。 35 你们如果彼此相爱,世人就会认出你们是我的门徒。”

预言彼得不认主

36 西门·彼得问耶稣:“主啊,你要到哪里去?”

耶稣回答说:“我要去的地方,你现在不能跟我去,但将来必定跟我去。”

37 彼得说:“主啊!为什么我现在不能跟你去呢?就是为你死,我也愿意!”

38 耶稣说:“你真的愿意为我死吗?我实实在在地告诉你,鸡叫以前,你会三次不认我。”

Jesus lava os pés aos discípulos

13 Antes da festa da Páscoa, Jesus já sabia que aquela seria a sua última noite neste mundo antes de voltar para junto do Pai. Quanto aos discípulos que tinha no mundo, amou-os sempre da forma mais perfeita até ao fim! Decorria o jantar e o Diabo já convencera Judas Iscariotes, filho de Simão, a traí-lo. Jesus sabia que o Pai colocara tudo nas suas mãos e que viera de Deus e para Deus voltaria.

Depois da ceia, levantou-se da mesa, despiu a túnica e pôs uma toalha à volta da cintura. E, deitando água numa bacia, começou a lavar os pés dos discípulos e a enxugá-los com a toalha.

Quando chegou a vez de Simão Pedro, este observou: “Mestre, não devias lavar-me os pés.”

Jesus retorquiu: “Agora não entendes o que faço, mas virá o dia em que compreenderás.”

“Não!”, protestou Pedro. “Não consinto que me laves os pés!”

“Se não deixares, não poderás ter parte comigo.”

Simão Pedro respondeu: “Senhor, então não só os pés, mas as mãos e a cabeça!”

10 Jesus respondeu: “Aquele que se lavou por completo só precisa de lavar os pés para se manter limpo. Agora estás limpo, mas nem todos aqui estão limpos.”

11 Pois Jesus sabia quem o ia trair. Por isso, disse: “Nem todos estão limpos.”

12 Depois de lhes ter lavado os pés, tornou a vestir a túnica, sentou-se e perguntou-lhes: “Compreendem o que eu fiz? 13 Chamam-me Mestre e Senhor, e fazem bem, porque é verdade. 14 E uma vez que eu, Senhor e Mestre, vos lavei os pés, também devem lavar os pés uns aos outros. 15 Dei-vos o exemplo! Façam como eu vos fiz! 16 É realmente como vos digo: o servo não é maior do que o seu senhor, nem o mensageiro maior do que quem o enviou! 17 Agora que sabem estas coisas, serão felizes se as praticarem.

Jesus fala da traição

(Mt 26.17-30; Mc 14.12-26; Lc 22.7-23)

18 Ao dizer estas coisas, não me refiro a todos sem exceção, porque vos conheço bem. Eu próprio vos escolhi! As Escrituras dizem: ‘O que comia do meu pão, até esse me trai’[a]. Isto cumprir-se-á. 19 Digo-vos isto agora para que, quando acontecer, possam crer que eu sou quem sou. 20 É realmente como vos digo: quem receber quem eu enviar é a mim que recebe. E quem me receber recebe quem me enviou.”

21 Nesse momento, Jesus começou a angustiar-se e exclamou: “É realmente como vos digo: um de vocês vai trair-me!”

22 Os discípulos entreolharam-se sem saberem a quem se referia. 23 Um deles, que estava à mesa, ao lado de Jesus, era o seu amigo mais íntimo. 24 Simão Pedro fez-lhe sinal para que lhe perguntasse de quem falava. 25 Então inclinando-se para Jesus, perguntou-lhe: “Senhor, quem é?”

26 Jesus disse: “Aquele a quem eu der o pão ensopado no molho.” Depois de ter molhado um pedaço de pão, deu-o a Judas, filho de Simão Iscariotes. 27 Logo que Judas o comeu, Satanás entrou nele e Jesus disse-lhe: “O que pretendes fazer fá-lo já.” 28 Nenhum dos outros que estavam à mesa percebeu com que propósito Jesus lhe dissera aquilo. 29 Alguns pensavam que, como Judas era o tesoureiro, Jesus o mandara pagar a refeição ou dar dinheiro aos pobres. 30 Judas saiu imediatamente e desapareceu na noite.

Jesus prediz que Pedro o vai negar

(Mt 26.31-35; Mc 14.27-31; Lc 22.31-34)

31 Logo depois, Jesus disse: “Chegou a hora da glória do Filho do Homem e Deus receberá glória por ele. 32 E se a glória de Deus é manifestada pelo seu Filho, Deus glorificá-lo-á em si próprio e glorificá-lo-á em breve. 33 Meus queridos filhos, vou estar convosco por pouco tempo mais! E então, apesar de me procurarem, para onde eu vou não podem vocês ir, tal como disse aos judeus. 34 Assim, dou-vos agora um novo mandamento: que se amem uns aos outros. Como eu vos tenho amado, assim devem amar-se uns aos outros. 35 O vosso amor uns pelos outros provará ao mundo que são meus discípulos.”

Jesus prediz a negação do Pedro

(Mt 26.33-35; Mc 14.29-31; Lc 22.33-34)

36 Simão Pedro perguntou: “Senhor, para onde vais?”

E Jesus replicou: “Agora não podes ir comigo, mas seguir-me-ás mais tarde.”

37 “Porque é que não posso ir agora, se estou pronto a morrer por ti?”

38 Jesus respondeu: “Morrer por mim? Antes que o galo cante de madrugada, três vezes negarás que me conheces!”

耶穌為門徒洗腳

13 逾越節之前,耶穌知道自己快要離開世界回到父那裡了。祂一直愛世上屬自己的人,並且愛他們到底。 吃晚飯的時候,魔鬼已經把出賣耶穌的念頭放在加略人西門的兒子猶大的心裡。 耶穌知道父將一切交給了祂,也知道自己從上帝那裡來、要回到上帝那裡, 就離席站起來,脫了外衣,把毛巾束在腰間, 然後倒了一盆水為門徒洗腳,用束在腰間的毛巾擦乾。 輪到西門·彼得的時候,他說:「主啊!你要洗我的腳嗎?」

耶穌回答說:「我這樣做,你現在雖然不明白,將來一定會明白。」

彼得說:「你絕對不可以洗我的腳。」

耶穌說:「如果我不洗你的腳,你就和我沒有關係了。」

西門·彼得說:「主啊,不只我的腳,連我的手和頭也幫我洗吧。」

10 耶穌說:「洗過澡的人全身是乾淨的,只要洗洗腳就好了。你們是乾淨的,但不是每一個都乾淨。」

11 因為耶穌知道誰要出賣祂,所以說:「你們不是每一個都乾淨。」

12 耶穌給門徒洗完了腳,便穿上外衣再次坐下來,然後問道:「我為你們做的,你們明白嗎? 13 你們稱呼我『老師』,也稱呼我『主』,你們稱呼得對,因為我是。 14 我是你們的老師又是你們的主,尚且給你們洗腳,你們更應當彼此洗腳。 15 我給你們立了一個榜樣,好讓你們效法我。

16 「我實實在在地告訴你們,奴僕不能大過主人,受差遣的也不能大過差遣他的人。 17 既然你們明白這個道理,如果去實踐,就有福了。 18 我這話不是對你們每一個人說的,我知道我揀選了誰,但這是為了要應驗聖經上的話,『吃我飯的人用腳踢我』[a] 19 我在事情還沒有發生之前,預先告訴你們,等事情發生以後,你們就會相信我是基督。 20 我實實在在地告訴你們,人若接待我所差遣的,就是接待我;接待我,就是接待差我來的那位。」

預言猶大賣主

21 說完這番話,耶穌心裡憂傷,便宣佈說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,你們中間有一個人要出賣我。」 22 門徒面面相覷,不知道耶穌指的是誰。 23-24 西門·彼得向耶穌所愛的那個門徒點頭示意,讓他問耶穌到底是誰要出賣祂。那門徒坐在耶穌旁邊, 25 便順勢靠過去問耶穌:「主啊,是誰呢?」

26 耶穌回答說:「我蘸一點餅給誰,就是誰。」耶穌就蘸了一點餅,遞給加略人西門的兒子猶大。 27 猶大吃了以後,撒旦就進了他的心。耶穌對他說:「你要做的事,趕快去做吧!」 28 同桌吃飯的人沒有人明白耶穌這話的意思。 29 因為猶大是管錢的,有人以為耶穌是叫他去買過節的用品,或者去賙濟窮人。 30 猶大吃過那塊餅後,立刻出去了。那時候是晚上。

新命令

31 猶大出去以後,耶穌就說:「現在人子得到榮耀了,上帝在人子身上也得了榮耀。 32 上帝既然在人子身上得了榮耀,也要讓人子在祂身上得榮耀,並且馬上要使人子得榮耀。 33 孩子們,我與你們同在的時間不多了,以後你們要找我,但我去的地方,你們不能去。這句話我以前對猶太人說過,現在也照樣告訴你們。 34 我賜給你們一條新命令——你們要彼此相愛。我怎樣愛你們,你們也要怎樣彼此相愛。 35 你們如果彼此相愛,世人就會認出你們是我的門徒。」

預言彼得不認主

36 西門·彼得問耶穌:「主啊,你要到哪裡去?」

耶穌回答說:「我要去的地方,你現在不能跟我去,但將來必定跟我去。」

37 彼得說:「主啊!為什麼我現在不能跟你去呢?就是為你死,我也願意!」

38 耶穌說:「你真的願意為我死嗎?我實實在在地告訴你,雞叫以前,你會三次不認我。」

Jesus Washes the Feet of His Followers

13 It was before the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. Jesus knew the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father. He had loved His own who were in the world. He loved them to the end. He and His followers were having supper. Satan had put the thought into the heart of Judas Iscariot of handing Jesus over to the leaders of the country. Jesus knew the Father had put everything into His hands. He knew He had come from God and was going back to God. Jesus got up from the supper and took off His coat. He picked up a cloth and put it around Him. Then He put water into a wash pan and began to wash the feet of His followers. He dried their feet with the cloth He had put around Himself.

Peter Speaks Out against Jesus Washing His Feet

Jesus came to Simon Peter. Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered him, “You do not understand now what I am doing but you will later.” Peter said to Him, “I will never let You wash my feet.” Jesus said, “Unless I wash you, you will not be a part of Me.” Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, do not wash only my feet, but wash my hands and my head also.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who has washed his body needs only to wash his feet. Then he is clean all over. You are all clean except one.” 11 Jesus knew who was going to hand Him over to the leaders. That is why He said, “You are all clean except one.”

Jesus Tells Why He Washed Their Feet

12 Jesus washed their feet and put on His coat. Then He sat down again and said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord. You are right because that is what I am. 14 I am your Teacher and Lord. I have washed your feet. You should wash each other’s feet also. 15 I have done this to show you what should be done. You should do as I have done to you. 16 For sure, I tell you, a workman who is owned by someone is not greater than his owner. One who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you will be happy if you do them.

18 “I am not speaking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. What is written in the Holy Writings must happen. It says, ‘The man who eats bread with Me has turned against Me.’ (A) 19 I tell you this now before it happens. After it happens, you will believe that I am Who I say I am, the Christ. 20 For sure, I tell you, he who receives the one I send out, receives Me. He who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Tells of the One Who Will Hand Him Over to the Leaders (B)

21 When Jesus had said this, He was troubled in heart. He told them in very plain words, saying, “For sure, I tell you, one of you is going to hand Me over to the leaders of the country.”

22 The followers began to look at each other. They did not know which one He was speaking of. 23 One follower, whom Jesus loved, was beside Jesus. 24 Simon Peter got this follower to look his way. He wanted him to ask Jesus which one He was speaking of. 25 While close beside Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It is the one I give this piece of bread to after I have put it in the dish.” Then He put the bread in the dish and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 After Judas had eaten the piece of bread, Satan went into him. Jesus said to Judas, “What you are going to do, do in a hurry.”

28 No one at the supper knew why Jesus had said this to Judas. 29 They thought it was because Judas carried the bag of money, and Jesus had said that Judas should buy what they needed for the religious gathering. Or they thought Judas should give something to poor people. 30 As soon as Judas had taken the piece of bread, he went out. It was night.

Love—the Greatest Law

31 After Judas went out, Jesus said, “The Son of Man is now honored and God has been honored in Him. 32 If God is honored in Him, God will also honor Him in Himself right now. 33 Little children, I will be with you only a little while. You will look for Me. I say to you what I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come!’ 34 I give you a new Law. You are to love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you. 35 If you love each other, all men will know you are My followers.”

Jesus Tells How Peter Will Lie about Him (C)

36 Simon Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “You cannot follow Me now where I am going. Later you will follow Me.” 37 Peter said to Jesus, “Why can I not follow You now? I will die for You.” 38 Jesus answered Peter, “Will you die for Me? For sure, I tell you, before a rooster crows, you will have said three times that you do not know Me.”
