Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet

13 Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, and[a] having loved his[b] own in the world, loved them to the end. And as[c] a dinner was taking place, when[d] the devil had already put into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot that he should betray him, because he[e] knew that the Father had given him all things into his[f] hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God, he got up from the dinner and took off his[g] outer clothing, and taking a towel, tied it[h] around himself. Then he poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them[i] dry with the towel which he had tied around himself.[j]

Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand after these things.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet forever!”[k] Jesus replied to him, “Unless I wash you, you do not have a share with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my[l] hands and my[m] head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed only needs[n] to wash his[o] feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not all of you.” 11 (For he knew the one who would betray him; because of this he said, “Not all of you are clean.”)

12 So when he had washed their feet and taken his outer clothing and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you? 13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you speak correctly, for I am. 14 If then I—your[p] Lord and Teacher—wash your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do. 16 Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you understand these things, you are blessed if you do them.

18 “I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, ‘The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’[q] 19 From now on I am telling you before it happens, in order that when it happens you may believe that I am he.[r] 20 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.”

Jesus Predicts Judas’ Betrayal

21 When he[s] had said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me.” 22 The disciples began looking[t] at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking. 23 One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining close beside[u] Jesus. 24 So Simon Peter gestured for this one to inquire who it was about whom he was speaking. 25 He leaned back[v] accordingly against Jesus’ chest and[w] said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus replied, “It is he to whom I dip the piece of bread and give it[x] to him.” Then after[y] dipping the piece of bread, he gave it[z][aa] to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are doing, do quickly!” 28 (Now no one of those reclining at table knew for what reason he said this to him. 29 For some were thinking because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, “Purchase what we need[ab] for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.) 30 So after he[ac] had taken the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will glorify him immediately. 33 Children, yet a little time I am with you. You will seek me and just as I said to the Jews, “Where I am going you cannot come,” now I say also to you.

34 “A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another—just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this everyone 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 replied,[ad] “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.” 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? 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, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!

Hinugasan ni Jesus ang mga Paa ng mga Alagad

13 Bisperas na noon ng Paskwa. Alam ni Jesus na dumating na ang takdang oras ng kanyang pag-alis sa daigdig na ito upang bumalik sa Ama. Mahal niya ang kanyang mga tagasunod na nasa daigdig, at sila'y minahal niya hanggang sa wakas.

Pagsapit ng hapunan, inilagay na ng diyablo sa isip ni Judas, na anak ni Simon Iscariote, na ipagkanulo niya si Jesus. Alam ni Jesus na ibinigay na ng Ama sa kanya ang buong kapangyarihan; at alam niyang siya'y mula sa Diyos at babalik sa Diyos. Kaya't siya'y tumayo mula sa hapag, nag-alis ng panlabas na balabal at nagbigkis ng tuwalya sa baywang. Pagkatapos, naglagay siya ng tubig sa palanggana at sinimulang hugasan ang mga paa ng mga alagad at punasan ng tuwalyang nakabigkis sa kanyang baywang.

Paglapit niya kay Simon Pedro, sinabi nito sa kanya, “Panginoon, huhugasan n'yo ba ang aking mga paa?”

Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi mo nauunawaan ngayon ang ginagawa ko, ngunit mauunawaan mo rin pagkatapos.”

Muling nagsalita si Pedro, “Hinding-hindi ninyo huhugasan ang aking mga paa!” Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Kung hindi kita huhugasan, wala kang kaugnayan sa akin.”

Dahil dito'y sinabi ni Simon Pedro, “Kung gayon, hindi lamang ang mga paa ko, kundi pati na rin ang aking mga kamay at ulo!”

10 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ang nakapaligo na ay hindi na kailangang hugasan pa [maliban sa kanyang mga paa],[a] sapagkat malinis na ang buo niyang katawan. At kayo'y malinis na, subalit hindi lahat kayo.” 11 Dahil alam na ni Jesus kung sino ang magkakanulo sa kanya kaya sinabi niyang malinis na sila, subalit hindi lahat.

12 Nang(A) mahugasan na ni Jesus ang kanilang mga paa, muli niyang isinuot ang kanyang balabal at nagbalik sa kinaupuan niya. Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Nauunawaan ba ninyo kung ano ang ginawa ko sa inyo? 13 Tinatawag ninyo akong Guro at Panginoon, at tama kayo, sapagkat ganoon nga ako. 14 Kung ako ngang Panginoon at Guro ninyo ay naghugas ng inyong mga paa, dapat din ninyong hugasan ang mga paa ng isa't isa. 15 Binigyan ko kayo ng halimbawa upang inyong tularan. 16 Pakatandaan(B) ninyo, ang alipin ay hindi nakakahigit sa kanyang panginoon, ni ang sinugo kaysa sa nagsugo sa kanya. 17 Ngayong alam na ninyo ito, pinagpala kayo kung ito'y gagawin ninyo.

18 “Hindi(C) kayong lahat ang tinutukoy ko; kilala ko ang aking mga pinili. Ngunit dapat matupad ang sinasabi sa kasulatan, ‘Ako'y pinagtaksilan ng taong pinapakain ko ng tinapay.’ 19 Sinasabi ko ito sa inyo bago pa mangyari upang kapag ito'y nangyari na, sasampalataya kayo na ‘Ako'y Ako Nga’. 20 Pakatandaan(D) ninyo, ang tumatanggap sa sinugo ko ay tumatanggap sa akin, at ang tumatanggap naman sa akin ay tumatanggap sa nagsugo sa akin.”

Inihayag ni Jesus ang Pagkakanulo sa Kanya(E)

21 Pagkasabi nito, si Jesus ay labis na nabagabag at nagpahayag sa kanila, “Tandaan ninyo: ipagkakanulo ako ng isa sa inyo.”

22 Nagtinginan ang mga alagad sapagkat hindi nila alam kung sino ang kanyang tinutukoy. 23 Katabi noon ni Jesus ang alagad na minamahal niya, 24 kaya't sinenyasan siya ni Simon Pedro at sinabihan, “Itanong mo nga kung sino ang tinutukoy niya.” 25 Humilig ang alagad na ito sa dibdib ni Jesus at nagtanong, “Panginoon, sino po ba iyon?”

26 “Siya ang taong aabután ko ng tinapay na aking isinawsaw,” sagot ni Jesus. Nagsawsaw nga siya ng tinapay at ibinigay iyon kay Judas na anak ni Simon Iscariote. 27 Nang matanggap ni Judas ang tinapay, pumasok sa kanya si Satanas. Sinabi ni Jesus kay Judas, “Gawin mo kaagad ang dapat mong gawin.” 28 Walang sinuman sa mga kasalo ni Jesus ang nakaunawa kung bakit niya sinabi iyon. 29 Dahil si Judas ang may hawak ng kanilang salapi, akala nila'y pinapabili siya ni Jesus ng kakailanganin nila sa pagdiriwang, o kaya'y pinapabigyan niya ng limos ang mga dukha.

30 Pagkatanggap ni Judas ng tinapay, kaagad siyang umalis. Gabi na noon.

Ang Bagong Utos

31 Pagkaalis ni Judas ay sinabi ni Jesus, “Ngayo'y luluwalhatiin na ang Anak ng Tao, at sa pamamagitan niya ay luluwalhatiin ang Diyos. 32 [At kapag niluwalhati na ang Diyos sa pamamagitan ng Anak ng Tao],[b] ang Diyos naman ang luluwalhati sa Anak, at ito'y gagawin niya agad. 33 Mga(F) anak, kaunting panahon na lamang ninyo akong makakasama. Hahanapin ninyo ako, ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo ngayon ang sinabi ko noon sa mga Judio, ‘Hindi kayo makakapunta sa pupuntahan ko.’

34 “Isang(G) bagong utos ang ibinibigay ko sa inyo ngayon: magmahalan kayo! Kung paano ko kayo minahal, gayundin naman, magmahalan kayo. 35 Kung kayo'y may pagmamahal sa isa't isa, makikilala ng lahat na kayo'y mga alagad ko.”

Inihayag ni Jesus ang Pagkakaila ni Pedro(H)

36 “Saan po kayo pupunta, Panginoon?” tanong ni Simon Pedro. Sumagot si Jesus, “Sa pupuntahan ko'y hindi ka makakasunod ngayon, ngunit susunod ka pagkatapos.”

37 Sumagot si Pedro, “Bakit po hindi ako makakasunod sa inyo ngayon? Buhay ko ma'y iaalay ko para sa inyo.”

38 Sumagot si Jesus, “Iaalay mo ang iyong buhay para sa akin? Tandaan mo: bago tumilaok ang manok, tatlong beses mo akong ikakaila.”
