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。”

  1. 13:18 参见诗篇41:9

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

And when supper was done (and the devil had now put in the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him),

Jesus - knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and went to God -

He rose from supper and laid aside His garments and took a towel and wrapped Himself.

After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel in which He was wrapped.

Then He came to Simon Peter, who said to Him, “Lord, You wash my feet?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do, you do not know now. But you shall know it hereafter.”

Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you shall have no part with Me.”

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

10 Jesus said to him, “He who is washed needs only to wash his feet, but is wholly clean. And you are clean, but not all.”

11 For He knew who would betray Him. Therefore, He said, “You are not all clean.”

12 So, after He had washed their feet and had taken His garments and had sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

13 “You call Me Master, and Lord. And you say well. For so I am.

14 “If I, then, your Lord and Master, has washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15 “For I have given you an example, so that you should do just as I have done to you.

16 “Truly, truly I say to you, the servant is not greater than his master, nor the messenger greater than the one who sent him.

17 “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

18 “I do not speak of you all. I know whom I have chosen. But it is so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’

19 “From now on I tell you before it comes, so that when it has happened, you might believe that I am He.

20 “Truly, truly I say to you, anyone who receives whom I shall send, receives Me. And anyone who receives Me, receives Him Who sent Me.”

21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in Spirit, and testified, and said, “Truly, truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray Me.”

22 Then the disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom He spoke.

23 Now, there was one of His disciples, who leaned on Jesus’ bosom, whom Jesus loved.

24 Therefore, Simon Peter motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

25 Then, as he leaned on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “It is him to whom I shall give a morsel, when I have dipped it.” And He wet a morsel of bread, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son.

27 And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “That you do, do quickly.”

28 But none of them who were at table knew why He said this to him.

29 For some of them thought Jesus had said that to him because Judas had the bag to buy those things we need for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Then, as soon as he had received the morsel, he immediately went out. And it was night.

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

32 “If God is glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself, and shall immediately glorify Him.

33 “Little children, I am still with you a little while longer. You shall seek Me, but as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’, so also I say to you now.

34 “A new Commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

35 “By this shall all know that you are My disciples - if you have love one to another.”

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I go you cannot follow Me now. But you shall follow Me afterward.”

37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down My life for your sake!”

38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Truly, truly I say to you, the cock shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.”
