耶穌為門徒洗腳

13 逾越節以前,耶穌知道自己離開這世界回到父那裡去的時候到了。他既然愛世上屬於自己的人,就愛他們到底。 吃晚飯的時候(魔鬼已經把出賣耶穌的意念放在西門的兒子加略人猶大的心裡), 耶穌知道父已經把萬有交在他手中,並且知道自己從 神而來,又要回到 神那裡去, 就起身離席,脫去外衣,拿一條手巾束腰。 然後他倒了一盆水,洗門徒的腳,並且用束腰的手巾擦乾。 輪到西門.彼得,彼得就說:“主啊,你要洗我的腳嗎?” 耶穌回答:“我所作的,你現在不知道,以後就會明白。” 彼得說:“不行,你千萬不可洗我的腳!”耶穌說:“如果我不洗你,你就與我沒有關係了。” 西門.彼得說:“主啊,那就不單洗我的腳,連我的手和頭都洗吧!” 10 耶穌說:“洗過澡的人,全身都潔淨,只需要洗腳就可以了。你們是潔淨的,但不是人人都是這樣。” 11 原來耶穌知道誰要出賣他,所以他說“你們不是人人都是潔淨的”。

12 耶穌洗完了門徒的腳,就穿上外衣,再坐下來,對他們說:“我給你們作的,你們明白嗎? 13 你們稱呼我‘老師,主’,你們說得對,我本來就是。 14 我是主,是老師,尚且洗你們的腳,你們也應當彼此洗腳。 15 我作了你們的榜樣,是要你們也照著我所作的去行。 16 我實實在在告訴你們,僕人不能大過主人,奉差遣的也不能大過差他的人。 17 你們既然知道這些事,如果去實行,就有福了。 18 我這話不是指著你們全體說的;我認識我所揀選的人,但是經上的話:‘那吃我飯的,用他的腳踢我’,必須應驗。 19 現在,事情還沒有發生,我就告訴你們,使你們到時可以信我就是‘那一位’。 20 我實實在在告訴你們,那接待我所差遣的,就是接待我;接待我的,就是接待那差我來的。”

耶穌預言要被人出賣(A)

21 耶穌說了這話,心裡很難過,就明明地說:“我實實在在告訴你們,你們中間有一個人要出賣我。” 22 門徒面面相覷,不知道他是指著誰說的。 23 門徒中有一個人,是耶穌所愛的,側身挨近耶穌(“側身挨近耶穌”原文作“在耶穌的胸懷裡”)。 24 西門.彼得向他示意,叫他問耶穌是指著誰說的。 25 於是那個門徒貼近耶穌的胸懷,問他:“主啊,是誰呢?” 26 耶穌回答:“我蘸一小塊餅給誰,誰就是了。”於是他蘸了一小塊餅,遞給加略人西門的兒子猶大。 27 猶大接過餅以後,撒但就進入他的心。耶穌對他說:“你要作的,快去作吧。” 28 在座的人,沒有一個知道耶穌為甚麼對猶大說這話。 29 猶大是管錢的,所以有人以為耶穌叫他去買過節用的東西,或是吩咐他拿點東西去賙濟窮人。 30 猶大吃了餅,立刻就出去;那時是黑夜了。

吩咐門徒要彼此相愛

31 他出去以後,耶穌就說:“現在人子得了榮耀, 神也在人子身上得了榮耀, 32 ( 神既然在人子身上得了榮耀,)(有些抄本無此句)也要在自己身上榮耀人子,並且要立刻榮耀他。 33 孩子們啊,我跟你們在一起的時候不多了。你們要尋找我,但是我對猶太人說過,現在也照樣對你們說:‘我去的地方,是你們不能去的。’ 34 我給你們一條新命令,就是要你們彼此相愛;我怎樣愛你們,你們也要怎樣彼此相愛。 35 如果你們彼此相愛,眾人就會認出你們是我的門徒了。”

預言彼得不認主(B)

36 西門.彼得對耶穌說:“主啊,你往哪裡去?”耶穌回答:“我去的地方,你現在不能跟著我去,但後來卻要跟著我去。” 37 彼得說:“主啊,為甚麼我現在不能跟著你去?為了你,我捨命也願意!” 38 耶穌說:“你願意為我捨命嗎?我實實在在告訴你,雞叫之前,你必定三次不認我。”

Jesús lava los pies a sus discípulos

13 Antes de la fiesta de la Pascua(A), sabiendo Jesús que su hora había llegado(B) para pasar de este mundo al Padre(C), habiendo amado a los suyos que estaban en el mundo, los amó hasta el fin[a]. Y durante la cena, como ya el diablo(D) había puesto en el corazón de Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, el que lo entregara(E), Jesús, sabiendo que el Padre había puesto[b] todas las cosas en sus manos(F), y que de Dios había salido(G) y a Dios volvía, se levantó* de la cena y se quitó* su manto, y tomando una toalla, se la ciñó(H). Luego echó* agua en una vasija, y comenzó a lavar los pies(I) de los discípulos y a secárselos con la toalla que tenía ceñida. Entonces llegó* a Simón Pedro. Este le dijo*: Señor, ¿tú lavarme a mí los pies? Jesús respondió, y le dijo: Ahora tú no comprendes lo que yo hago, pero lo entenderás después(J). Pedro le contestó*: ¡Jamás me lavarás(K) los pies! Jesús le respondió: Si no te lavo, no tienes parte conmigo(L). Simón Pedro le dijo*: Señor, entonces no solo los pies, sino también las manos y la cabeza. 10 Jesús le dijo*: El que se ha bañado no necesita lavarse, excepto los pies, pues[c] está todo limpio; y vosotros estáis limpios(M), pero no todos. 11 Porque sabía quién le iba a entregar(N); por eso dijo: No todos estáis limpios.

Jesús, ejemplo supremo de humildad

12 Entonces, cuando acabó de lavarles los pies, tomó su manto(O), y sentándose[d] a la mesa otra vez, les dijo: ¿Sabéis lo que os he hecho? 13 Vosotros me llamáis Maestro(P) y Señor(Q); y tenéis razón[e], porque lo soy. 14 Pues si yo, el Señor(R) y el Maestro, os lavé los pies, vosotros también debéis lavaros los pies unos a otros. 15 Porque os he dado ejemplo(S), para que como yo os he hecho, vosotros también hagáis. 16 En verdad, en verdad os digo: un siervo no es mayor que su señor(T), ni un enviado(U) es mayor que el que lo envió. 17 Si sabéis esto, seréis felices si lo practicáis(V). 18 No hablo de todos vosotros(W); yo conozco a los que he escogido(X); pero es para que se cumpla la Escritura(Y): «El que come mi pan ha levantado contra mí su calcañar(Z)». 19 Os lo digo desde ahora, antes de que pase, para que cuando suceda, creáis(AA) que yo soy[f](AB). 20 En verdad, en verdad os digo: el que recibe al que yo envíe, me recibe a mí; y el que me recibe a mí, recibe al que me envió(AC).

Jesús identifica al traidor

21 Habiendo dicho Jesús esto, se angustió en espíritu(AD), y testificó y dijo: En verdad, en verdad os digo que uno de vosotros me entregará(AE). 22 Los discípulos se miraban unos a otros, y estaban perplejos sin saber de quién hablaba(AF). 23 Uno de sus discípulos, el que Jesús amaba(AG), estaba a la mesa reclinado en el pecho de Jesús(AH). 24 Por eso Simón Pedro le hizo* señas, y le dijo*: Dinos de quién habla. 25 Él, recostándose de nuevo[g] sobre el pecho de Jesús, le dijo*: Señor, ¿quién es(AI)? 26 Entonces Jesús respondió*: Es aquel a quien yo daré el bocado que voy a mojar. Y después de mojar el bocado, lo tomó* y se lo dio* a Judas, hijo de Simón Iscariote(AJ). 27 Y después del bocado, Satanás(AK) entró en él(AL). Entonces Jesús le dijo*: Lo que vas a hacer, hazlo pronto. 28 Pero ninguno de los que estaban sentados[h] a la mesa entendió por qué le dijo esto. 29 Porque algunos pensaban que como Judas tenía la bolsa del dinero(AM), Jesús le decía: Compra lo que necesitamos para la fiesta(AN), o que diera algo a los pobres(AO). 30 Y Judas[i], después de recibir el bocado, salió inmediatamente; y ya era de noche(AP).

Un mandamiento nuevo

31 Entonces, cuando salió, Jesús dijo*: Ahora es[j] glorificado(AQ) el Hijo del Hombre(AR), y Dios es glorificado en Él(AS). 32 Si Dios es glorificado en Él[k], Dios también le glorificará en sí mismo(AT), y le glorificará enseguida. 33 Hijitos(AU), estaré con vosotros un poco más de tiempo(AV). Me buscaréis, y como dije a los judíos, ahora también os digo a vosotros: adonde yo voy, vosotros no podéis ir(AW). 34 Un mandamiento nuevo os doy(AX): que os améis los unos a los otros(AY); que como yo os he amado(AZ), así también os améis los unos a los otros. 35 En esto conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si os tenéis amor los unos a los otros(BA).

Jesús predice la negación de Pedro

36 Simón Pedro le dijo*: Señor, ¿adónde vas? Jesús respondió: Adonde yo voy, tú no me puedes seguir(BB) ahora, pero me seguirás después(BC). 37 Pedro le dijo*: Señor, ¿por qué no te puedo seguir ahora mismo? ¡(BD)Yo daré mi vida por ti! 38 Jesús le respondió*: ¿Tu vida darás por mí? En verdad, en verdad te digo: no cantará el gallo sin que antes me hayas negado tres veces(BE).

III. The Book of Glory[a]

Chapter 13

The Washing of the Disciples’ Feet.[b] Before the feast of Passover,[c] Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.(A) The devil had already induced[d] Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper,(B) fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God,(C) he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist. [e]Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet(D) and dry them with the towel around his waist. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Master, 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 later.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.”(E) Simon Peter said to him, “Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Whoever has bathed[f] has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all.”(F) 11 For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.”(G)

12 So when he had washed their feet [and] put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you? 13 You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am.(H) 14 If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.(I) 16 Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger[g] greater than the one who sent him.(J) 17 If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it. 18 I am not speaking of all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But so that the scripture might be fulfilled, ‘The one who ate my food has raised his heel against me.’(K) 19 From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM. 20 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”(L)

Announcement of Judas’s Betrayal.(M) 21 When he had said this, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, “Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22 The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant. 23 One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved,[h] was reclining at Jesus’ side.(N) 24 So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant. 25 He leaned back against Jesus’ chest and said to him, “Master, who is it?”(O) 26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I hand the morsel[i] after I have dipped it.” So he dipped the morsel and [took it and] handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot. 27 After he took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”(P) 28 [Now] none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or to give something to the poor.(Q) 30 So he took the morsel and left at once. And it was night.

The New Commandment. 31 [j]When he had left, Jesus said,[k] “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 [If God is glorified in him,] God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once.(R) 33 My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, and as I told the Jews, ‘Where I go you cannot come,’ so now I say it to you.(S) 34 I give you a new commandment:[l] love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.(T) 35 This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Peter’s Denial Predicted. 36 Simon Peter said to him, “Master, where are you going?” Jesus answered [him], “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later.”(U) 37 Peter said to him, “Master, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times.”(V)

  1. 13:1–19:42 The Book of Glory. There is a major break here; the word “sign” is used again only in Jn 20:30. In this phase of Jesus’ return to the Father, the discourses (Jn 13–17) precede the traditional narrative of the passion (Jn 18–20) to interpret them for the Christian reader. This is the only extended example of esoteric teaching of disciples in John.
  2. 13:1–20 Washing of the disciples’ feet. This episode occurs in John at the place of the narration of the institution of the Eucharist in the synoptics. It may be a dramatization of Lk 22:27—“I am your servant.” It is presented as a “model” (“pattern”) of the crucifixion. It symbolizes cleansing from sin by sacrificial death.
  3. 13:1 Before the feast of Passover: this would be Thursday evening, before the day of preparation; in the synoptics, the Last Supper is a Passover meal taking place, in John’s chronology, on Friday evening. To the end: or, “completely.”
  4. 13:2 Induced: literally, “The devil put into the heart that Judas should hand him over.”
  5. 13:5 The act of washing another’s feet was one that could not be required of the lowliest Jewish slave. It is an allusion to the humiliating death of the crucifixion.
  6. 13:10 Bathed: many have suggested that this passage is a symbolic reference to baptism. The Greek root involved is used in baptismal contexts in 1 Cor 6:11; Eph 5:26; Ti 3:5; Hb 10:22.
  7. 13:16 Messenger: the Greek has apostolos, the only occurrence of the term in John. It is not used in the technical sense here.
  8. 13:23 The one whom Jesus loved: also mentioned in Jn 19:26; 20:2; 21:7. A disciple, called “another disciple” or “the other disciple,” is mentioned in Jn 18:15 and Jn 20:2; in the latter reference he is identified with the disciple whom Jesus loved. There is also an unnamed disciple in Jn 1:35–40; see note on Jn 1:37.
  9. 13:26 Morsel: probably the bitter herb dipped in salt water.
  10. 13:31–17:26 Two farewell discourses and a prayer. These seem to be Johannine compositions, including sayings of Jesus at the Last Supper and on other occasions, modeled on similar farewell discourses in Greek literature and the Old Testament (of Moses, Joshua, David).
  11. 13:31–38 Introduction: departure and return. Terms of coming and going predominate. These verses form an introduction to the last discourse of Jesus, which extends through Jn 14–17. In it John has collected Jesus’ words to his own (Jn 13:1). There are indications that several speeches have been fused together, e.g., in Jn 14:31 and Jn 17:1.
  12. 13:34 I give you a new commandment: this puts Jesus on a par with Yahweh. The commandment itself is not new; cf. Lv 19:18 and the note there.

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet

13 It was just before the Passover Festival.(A) Jesus knew that the hour had come(B) for him to leave this world and go to the Father.(C) Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.(D) Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power,(E) and that he had come from God(F) and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.(G) After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet,(H) drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”(I)

“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”

Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”

10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean,(J) though not every one of you.”(K) 11 For he knew who was going to betray him,(L) and that was why he said not every one was clean.

12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’(M) and ‘Lord,’(N) and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.(O) 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.(P) 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master,(Q) nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.(R)

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

18 “I am not referring to all of you;(S) I know those I have chosen.(T) But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture:(U) ‘He who shared my bread(V) has turned[a](W) against me.’[b](X)

19 “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe(Y) that I am who I am.(Z) 20 Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”(AA)

21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit(AB) and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”(AC)

22 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. 23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved,(AD) was reclining next to him. 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”

25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”(AE)

26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas,(AF) the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.(AG)

So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29 Since Judas had charge of the money,(AH) some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival,(AI) or to give something to the poor.(AJ) 30 As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.(AK)

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AL)

31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man(AM) is glorified(AN) and God is glorified in him.(AO) 32 If God is glorified in him,[c] God will glorify the Son in himself,(AP) and will glorify him at once.

33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.(AQ)

34 “A new command(AR) I give you: Love one another.(AS) As I have loved you, so you must love one another.(AT) 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”(AU)

36 Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”(AV)

Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now,(AW) but you will follow later.”(AX)

37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

38 Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!(AY)
