约翰福音 13
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶稣为门徒洗脚
13 逾越节以前，耶稣知道自己离开这世界回到父那里去的时候到了。他既然爱世上属于自己的人，就爱他们到底。 2 吃晚饭的时候（魔鬼已经把出卖耶稣的意念放在西门的儿子加略人犹大的心里）， 3 耶稣知道父已经把万有交在他手中，并且知道自己从 神而来，又要回到 神那里去， 4 就起身离席，脱去外衣，拿一条手巾束腰。 5 然后他倒了一盆水，洗门徒的脚，并且用束腰的手巾擦干。 6 轮到西门．彼得，彼得就说：“主啊，你要洗我的脚吗？” 7 耶稣回答：“我所作的，你现在不知道，以后就会明白。” 8 彼得说：“不行，你千万不可洗我的脚！”耶稣说：“如果我不洗你，你就与我没有关系了。” 9 西门．彼得说：“主啊，那就不单洗我的脚，连我的手和头都洗吧！” 10 耶稣说：“洗过澡的人，全身都洁净，只需要洗脚就可以了。你们是洁净的，但不是人人都是这样。” 11 原来耶稣知道谁要出卖他，所以他说“你们不是人人都是洁净的”。
12 耶稣洗完了门徒的脚，就穿上外衣，再坐下来，对他们说：“我给你们作的，你们明白吗？ 13 你们称呼我‘老师，主’，你们说得对，我本来就是。 14 我是主，是老师，尚且洗你们的脚，你们也应当彼此洗脚。 15 我作了你们的榜样，是要你们也照着我所作的去行。 16 我实实在在告诉你们，仆人不能大过主人，奉差遣的也不能大过差他的人。 17 你们既然知道这些事，如果去实行，就有福了。 18 我这话不是指着你们全体说的；我认识我所拣选的人，但是经上的话：‘那吃我饭的，用他的脚踢我’，必须应验。 19 现在，事情还没有发生，我就告诉你们，使你们到时可以信我就是‘那一位’。 20 我实实在在告诉你们，那接待我所差遣的，就是接待我；接待我的，就是接待那差我来的。”
耶稣预言要被人出卖(A)
21 耶稣说了这话，心里很难过，就明明地说：“我实实在在告诉你们，你们中间有一个人要出卖我。” 22 门徒面面相觑，不知道他是指着谁说的。 23 门徒中有一个人，是耶稣所爱的，侧身挨近耶稣（“侧身挨近耶稣”原文作“在耶稣的胸怀里”）。 24 西门．彼得向他示意，叫他问耶稣是指着谁说的。 25 于是那个门徒贴近耶稣的胸怀，问他：“主啊，是谁呢？” 26 耶稣回答：“我蘸一小块饼给谁，谁就是了。”于是他蘸了一小块饼，递给加略人西门的儿子犹大。 27 犹大接过饼以后，撒但就进入他的心。耶稣对他说：“你要作的，快去作吧。” 28 在座的人，没有一个知道耶稣为甚么对犹大说这话。 29 犹大是管钱的，所以有人以为耶稣叫他去买过节用的东西，或是吩咐他拿点东西去赒济穷人。 30 犹大吃了饼，立刻就出去；那时是黑夜了。
吩咐门徒要彼此相爱
31 他出去以后，耶稣就说：“现在人子得了荣耀， 神也在人子身上得了荣耀， 32 （ 神既然在人子身上得了荣耀，）（有些抄本无此句）也要在自己身上荣耀人子，并且要立刻荣耀他。 33 孩子们啊，我跟你们在一起的时候不多了。你们要寻找我，但是我对犹太人说过，现在也照样对你们说：‘我去的地方，是你们不能去的。’ 34 我给你们一条新命令，就是要你们彼此相爱；我怎样爱你们，你们也要怎样彼此相爱。 35 如果你们彼此相爱，众人就会认出你们是我的门徒了。”
预言彼得不认主(B)
36 西门．彼得对耶稣说：“主啊，你往哪里去？”耶稣回答：“我去的地方，你现在不能跟着我去，但后来却要跟着我去。” 37 彼得说：“主啊，为甚么我现在不能跟着你去？为了你，我舍命也愿意！” 38 耶稣说：“你愿意为我舍命吗？我实实在在告诉你，鸡叫之前，你必定三次不认我。”
John 13
Living Bible
13 1-3 Jesus knew on the evening of Passover Day that it would be his last night on earth before returning to his Father. During supper the devil had already suggested to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, that this was the night to carry out his plan to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had given him everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. And how he loved his disciples! 4 So he got up from the supper table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his loins,[a] 5 poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.
6 When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Master, you shouldn’t be washing our feet like this!”
7 Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now why I am doing it; some day you will.”
8 “No,” Peter protested, “you shall never wash my feet!”
“But if I don’t, you can’t be my partner,” Jesus replied.
9 Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well—not just my feet!”
10 Jesus replied, “One who has bathed all over needs only to have his feet washed to be entirely clean. Now you are clean—but that isn’t true of everyone here.” 11 For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 After washing their feet he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? 13 You call me ‘Master’ and ‘Lord,’ and you do well to say it, for it is true. 14 And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. 15 I have given you an example to follow: do as I have done to you. 16 How true it is that a servant is not greater than his master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends him. 17 You know these things—now do them! That is the path of blessing.
18 “I am not saying these things to all of you; I know so well each one of you I chose. The Scripture declares, ‘One who eats supper with me will betray me,’ and this will soon come true. 19 I tell you this now so that when it happens, you will believe on me.
20 “Truly, anyone welcoming my messenger is welcoming me. And to welcome me is to welcome the Father who sent me.”
21 Now Jesus was in great anguish of spirit and exclaimed, “Yes, it is true—one of you will betray me.” 22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he could mean. 23 Since I[b] was sitting next to Jesus at the table, being his closest friend, 24 Simon Peter motioned to me to ask him who it was who would do this terrible deed.
25 So I turned and[c] asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 He told me, “It is the one I honor by giving the bread dipped in the sauce.”[d]
And when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.
27 As soon as Judas had eaten it, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus told him, “Hurry—do it now.”
28 None of the others at the table knew what Jesus meant. 29 Some thought that since Judas was their treasurer, Jesus was telling him to go and pay for the food or to give some money to the poor. 30 Judas left at once, going out into the night.
31 As soon as Judas left the room, Jesus said, “My time has come; the glory of God will soon surround me—and God shall receive great praise because of all that happens to me. 32 And God shall give me his own glory, and this so very soon. 33 Dear, dear children, how brief are these moments before I must go away and leave you! Then, though you search for me, you cannot come to me—just as I told the Jewish leaders.
34 “And so I am giving a new commandment to you now—love each other just as much as I love you. 35 Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
36 Simon Peter said, “Master, where are you going?”
And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with me now; but you will follow me later.”
37 “But why can’t I come now?” he asked, “for I am ready to die for you.”
38 Jesus answered, “Die for me? No—three times before the cock crows tomorrow morning, you will deny that you even know me!

New King James Version
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.
2 And [a]supper being ended, (D)the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, 3 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, 4 (H)rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. 5 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. 6 Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, (I)“Lord, are You washing my feet?”
7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you (J)do not understand now, (K)but you will know after this.”
8 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.”
9 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.
