Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

13 Now (A)before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that (B)His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He (C)loved them to the end.

And [a]supper being ended, (D)the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing (E)that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He (F)had come from God and (G)was going to God, (H)rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After 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. Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, (I)“Lord, are You washing my feet?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you (J)do not understand now, (K)but you will know after this.”

Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!”

Jesus answered him, (L)“If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”

Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

10 Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and (M)you are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For (N)He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”

12 So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you [b]know what I have done to you? 13 (O)You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14 (P)If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, (Q)you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For (R)I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 (S)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. 17 (T)If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Jesus Identifies His Betrayer(U)

18 “I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the (V)Scripture may be fulfilled, (W)‘He who eats [c]bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19 (X)Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He. 20 (Y)Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

21 (Z)When Jesus had said these things, (AA)He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (AB)one of you will betray Me.” 22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

23 Now (AC)there was [d]leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

25 Then, leaning [e]back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus 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 (AD)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 (AE)Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him. 29 For some thought, because (AF)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.

30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

The New Commandment

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, (AG)“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and (AH)God is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and (AI)glorify Him immediately. 33 Little children, I shall be with you a (AJ)little while longer. You will seek Me; (AK)and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. 34 (AL)A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 (AM)By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?”

Jesus answered him, “Where I (AN)am going you cannot follow Me now, but (AO)you shall follow Me afterward.”

37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will (AP)lay down my life for Your sake.”

38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not (AQ)crow till you have denied Me three times.

The Lord’s Supper

13 Now before the Feast of (A)the Passover, Jesus, knowing that (B)His hour had come that He would depart from this world (C)to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them [a]to the end. And during supper, (D)the devil having already put into the heart of (E)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, (F)knowing that the Father had handed all things over to Him, and that (G)He had come forth from God and was going back to God, *got up from supper and *laid His outer garments aside; and He took a towel and (H)tied it around Himself.

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

Then He *poured water into the basin, and began (I)washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself. So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, You are washing my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not realize right now, but you will understand (J)later.” Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, (K)If I do not wash you, (L)you have no [b]place with Me.” Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; otherwise he is completely clean. And (M)you are clean—but [c]not all of you.” 11 For (N)He knew the one who was betraying Him; it was for this reason that He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 Then, 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 for you? 13 You call Me (P)‘Teacher’ and (Q)‘Lord’; and [d]you are correct, for so I am. 14 So if I, (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, so that you also would do just as I did for you. 16 Truly, truly I say to you, (T)a slave is not greater than his master, nor is [e](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 am not speaking about all of you. I know the ones whom I have (X)chosen; but this is happening (Y)so 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 happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that (AB)I am He. 20 Truly, truly I say to you, (AC)the one who [f]receives anyone I send, [g]receives Me; and the one who [h]receives Me [i]receives Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21 When Jesus had said these things, He (AD)became troubled in spirit, and [j]testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that (AE)one of you will [k]betray Me.” 22 The disciples began looking at one another, (AF)at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. 23 Lying back on (AG)Jesus’ chest was one of His disciples, (AH)whom Jesus loved. 24 So Simon Peter *nodded to this disciple and *said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.” 25 He then simply (AI)leaned back on Jesus’ chest and *said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus then *answered, “That man is the one for whom I shall dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread, He *took and *gave it to Judas, (AJ)the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After [l]this, (AK)Satan then (AL)entered him. Therefore Jesus *said to him, “What you are doing, do it quickly.” 28 Now none of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29 For some were assuming, since Judas (AM)kept the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we need (AN)for the feast”; or else, that he was to [m](AO)give something to the poor. 30 So after receiving the piece of bread, he left immediately; and (AP)it was night.

31 Therefore when he had left, Jesus *said, “Now [n]is (AQ)the Son of Man (AR)glorified, and (AS)God [o]is glorified in Him; 32 [p]if God is glorified in Him, (AT)God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately. 33 (AU)Little children, I am still with you (AV)a little longer. (AW)You will look for Me; and just as I said to the [q]Jews, now I also say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34 I am giving you a (AX)new commandment, (AY)that you love one another; (AZ)just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 (BA)By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”

36 Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, (BB)Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now; but (BC)you will follow later.” 37 Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? (BD)I will lay down my life for You.” 38 Jesus *replied, “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.

Dal jsem vám příklad

13 Před Velikonočními svátky už Ježíš věděl, že přišla jeho chvíle, aby odešel z tohoto světa k Otci. Miloval své druhy na tomto světě, miloval je až do konce. Ještě před večeří ďábel vnukl do srdce Jidáše, syna Šimona Iškariotského, že ho má zradit.

Ježíš, vědom si toho, že mu Otec dal všechno do rukou a že vyšel od Boha a jde k Bohu, vstal od večeře, odložil plášť a opásal se ručníkem. Nalil vodu do umyvadla a začal učedníkům umývat nohy a utírat je ručníkem, jímž byl přepásán.

Když přistoupil k Šimonu Petrovi, ten mu řekl: „Pane, ty mi chceš mýt nohy?!“

„Teď ještě nechápeš, co dělám,“ odpověděl mu Ježíš, „ale později porozumíš.“

„Ty mi přece nemůžeš mýt nohy!“ namítal Petr.

„Když tě neumyji, nebudeš mít se mnou nic společného,“ odpověděl Ježíš.

„Pane!“ zvolal Šimon Petr. „Nemyj mi jen nohy, ale i ruce a hlavu!“

10 Ježíš mu řekl: „Kdo je vykoupán, potřebuje umýt jen nohy, neboť je celý čistý. I vy jste čistí, ale ne všichni.“ 11 (Věděl totiž o svém zrádci, proto řekl: „Ne všichni jste čistí.“)

12 Když jim umyl nohy, znovu se oblékl, posadil se zpět za stůl a řekl jim: „Chápete, co jsem vám udělal? 13 Nazýváte mě Mistrem a Pánem a máte pravdu, neboť jím jsem. 14 Když jsem však já, váš Pán a Mistr, umyl nohy vám, máte i vy mýt nohy jeden druhému. 15 Dal jsem vám příklad, abyste se chovali, jako jsem se já zachoval k vám. 16 Amen, amen, říkám vám: Služebník není větší než jeho pán a posel není větší než ten, kdo ho poslal. 17 Teď to víte; blaze vám, když se tím budete řídit.

18 Nemluvím o vás všech. Já vím, které jsem vyvolil; ať se ale naplní Písmo: ‚Ten, který jí se mnou chléb, pozvedl patu proti mně.‘ [a] 19 Říkám vám to už teď, předtím než se to stane, abyste, až se to stane, uvěřili, že já jsem. 20 Amen, amen, říkám vám: Kdo přijímá mého posla, přijímá mě; a kdo přijímá mě, přijímá Toho, který mě poslal.“

Jeden z vás mě zradí

21 Po těchto slovech Ježíš hluboce rozrušen prohlásil: „Amen, amen, říkám vám, že jeden z vás mě zradí.“

22 Učedníci se začali rozhlížet jeden po druhém, netušíce, o kom to mluví. 23 Jeden z jeho učedníků, ten, kterého Ježíš miloval, ležel u stolu po Ježíšově boku. 24 Šimon Petr mu naznačil, ať se zeptá, o kom to mluvil. 25 Objal ho tedy a zeptal se: „Pane, kdo to je?“

26 „Ten, komu podám namočené sousto,“ odpověděl Ježíš. Namočil sousto a podal je Jidášovi, synu Šimona Iškariotského. 27 A hned po tom soustu vešel do Jidáše satan.

„Co děláš, dělej rychle,“ řekl mu Ježíš. 28 Nikdo ze stolujících ale nerozuměl, proč mu to řekl. 29 Jidáš měl na starosti pokladnu, a tak si někteří mysleli, že mu Ježíš řekl, ať nakoupí, co je potřeba na svátek, nebo ať dá nějaké peníze chudým.

30 Jidáš vzal to sousto a hned vyšel ven. Byla noc.

Nové přikázání

31 Po jeho odchodu Ježíš řekl: „Syn člověka je teď oslaven a Bůh je oslaven v něm. 32 A protože je Bůh oslaven v něm, [b] Bůh ho také oslaví sám v sobě, a to hned. 33 Moji drazí, ještě na kratičko jsem s vámi. Budete mě hledat, ale říkám vám, co jsem už řekl Židům: ‚Jdu tam, kam vy nemůžete.‘ [c]

34 Dávám vám nové přikázání: Milujte jedni druhé. Milujte jedni druhé, jako jsem já miloval vás. 35 Podle toho všichni poznají, že jste moji učedníci, když budete mít lásku jedni k druhým.“

36 Šimon Petr se ho zeptal: „Pane, kam jdeš?“

„Tam, kam jdu, teď za mnou nemůžeš,“ odpověděl mu Ježíš, „ale přijdeš za mnou později.“

37 „Pane, proč za tebou nemohu teď?“ ptal se Petr. „Položím za tebe život!“

38 „Položíš za mě život?“ opáčil Ježíš. „Amen, amen, říkám ti: Než zakokrhá kohout, třikrát mě zapřeš.“
