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.

Pranje nogu

13 Približavao se blagdan Pashe. Isus je znao da je došlo vrijeme kad će napustiti ovaj svijet i poći k Ocu. Volio je one koji su njegovi na ovom svijetu, a sada im je tu ljubav iskazao kao nikad prije.

Isus i njegovi učenici zajedno su večerali. Đavao je Judi, sinu Šimuna Iskariotskog, već bio stavio u srce da izda Isusa. Isus je znao da mu je Otac dao svu vlast. Isto tako, znao je da dolazi od Boga i da se vraća njemu. Ustao je od stola, skinuo ogrtač, uzeo ručnik i opasao se njime. Potom je napunio posudu vodom i počeo prati noge svojim učenicima i brisati ih ručnikom kojim je bio opasan.

Tada je došao Šimunu Petru. »Gospodine«, rekao je Petar Isusu, »zar ćeš mi ti prati noge?«

Isus mu je odgovorio: »Sada ne razumiješ što činim, ali kasnije ćeš razumjeti.«

Na to mu je Petar rekao: »Nikada ti meni nećeš prati noge!«

»Ako te ne operem«, odvratio mu je Isus, »ne možeš biti jedan od mojih.«

»Gospodine«, na to će Petar, »ne peri mi onda samo noge nego i ruke i glavu!«

10 Isus mu je rekao: »Tko je okupan, ne treba prati ništa osim nogu[a]. On je potpuno čist. Vi ste čisti, ali ne svi.« 11 Isus je znao tko će ga izdati i zato je rekao: »Niste svi čisti.«

12 Kad im je oprao noge, ponovo je odjenuo ogrtač, vratio se na svoje mjesto za stolom i rekao im: »Razumijete li što sam za vas učinio? 13 Zovete me ‘Učitelju’ i ‘Gospodaru’. Imate pravo što me tako zovete jer ja to i jesam. 14 Pa, ako sam ja, Gospodar i Učitelj, vama oprao noge, tada ih i vi trebate prati jedan drugome. Dao sam vam primjer 15 da biste vi drugima činili što sam ja učinio vama. 16 Govorim vam istinu: rob nije veći od svoga gospodara niti je glasnik veći od onoga koji ga je poslao. 17 Sada, kada to znate, blago vama ako budete tako i postupali.

18 Ne govorim o svima vama. Ja znam koga sam izabrao. No Sveto pismo kaže: ‘Onaj, koji je jeo moj kruh, okrenuo se protiv mene’.[b] To se mora ispuniti! 19 Govorim vam to sada, prije nego što se dogodi. Tako ćete, kad se dogodi, vjerovati da JA JESAM[c]. 20 Govorim vam istinu. Tko primi onoga koga ja šaljem, prima mene. Tko prima mene, prima onoga koji me je poslao.«

Isus otkriva izdajnika

(Mt 26,20-25; Mk 14,17-21; Lk 22,21-23)

21 Kada je ovo rekao, Isus se potresao u sebi i izjavio: »Govorim vam istinu: jedan od vas će me izdati.«

22 Njegovi su se učenici počeli međusobno pogledavati jer nisu znali na kojeg od njih misli. 23 Jedan od njegovih učenika, kojega je Isus jako volio, sjedio je pokraj njega. 24 Njemu je Šimun Petar dao znak da pita Isusa tko bi to mogao biti.

25 Ovaj se primaknuo bliže Isusu i upitao ga: »Gospodine, tko je taj?«

26 Isus je odgovorio: »To je onaj kojem ću dati komad kruha kad ga umočim.« Potom je uzeo komad kruha, umočio ga i dao ga Judi Iskariotskom, Šimunovom sinu. 27 Nakon što je Juda uzeo taj komad kruha, u njega je ušao Sotona. Tada mu je Isus rekao: »To što namjeravaš—učini brzo!« 28 No nitko od onih koji su jeli za stolom nije shvatio zašto mu je Isus to rekao. 29 Budući da je Juda držao kutiju s novcem, neki su pomislili da mu je rekao: »Kupi što nam je potrebno za blagdan!« Ili da mu je rekao da nešto podijeli siromašnima.

30 I tako je Juda uzeo komad kruha i smjesta otišao. A bila je noć.

Isus najavljuje svoju smrt

31 Nakon što je Juda otišao, Isus je rekao: »Sin Čovječji je sada proslavljen i Bog je proslavljen u njemu. 32 Ako je Bog proslavljen u Sinu, onda će Sin biti proslavljen u Ocu. Bog će mu odmah dati slavu koja mu pripada.

33 Moja draga djeco, još sam samo kratko s vama. Tražit ćete me, ali kao što sam već rekao Židovima, i vama sada kažem: ‘Kamo ja idem, vi ne možete doći.’

34 Dajem vam novu zapovijed: Volite jedan drugoga! Kako sam ja volio vas, tako i vi trebate voljeti jedan drugoga. 35 Budete li voljeli jedan drugoga, po tome će svi znati da ste moji učenici.«

Isus i Petar

(Mt 26,31-35; Mk 14,27-31; Lk 22,31-34)

36 Šimun Petar ga je upitao: »Gospodine, kamo ideš?«

Isus mu je odgovorio: »Tamo kamo ja idem, ti zasad ne možeš poći. No poslije ćeš poći za mnom.«

37 »Gospodine«, upitao ga je Petar, »zašto sada ne mogu poći za tobom? Dat ću svoj život za tebe!«

38 Isus mu je odgovorio: »Dat ćeš svoj život za mene? Govorim ti istinu: triput ćeš me se odreći prije nego što pijetao zapjeva.«

13 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

And supper being ended, the devil having now put into 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 was come from God, and went to God;

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

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

16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

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

30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

13 Now (A)before (B)the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that (C)his hour had come (D)to depart out of this world to the Father, (E)having loved (F)his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when (G)the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing (H)that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that (I)he had come from God and (J)was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, (K)tied it around his waist. Then he (L)poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” (M)Jesus answered him, “What I am doing (N)you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” (O)Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, (P)“If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, (Q)except for his feet,[a] but is completely clean. And (R)you[b] are clean, (S)but not every one of you.” 11 (T)For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 When he had washed their feet and (U)put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, (V)“Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 (W)You call me (X)Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, (Y)you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, (Z)that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AA)a servant[c] is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, (AB)blessed are you if you do them. 18 (AC)I am not speaking of all of you; I know (AD)whom I have chosen. But (AE)the Scripture will be fulfilled,[d] (AF)‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 (AG)I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AH)whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, (AI)Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, (AJ)“Truly, truly, I say to you, (AK)one of you will betray me.” 22 (AL)The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 (AM)One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table (AN)at Jesus' side,[e] 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus[f] of whom he was speaking. 25 (AO)So that disciple, (AP)leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, (AQ)“It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread (AR)when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, (AS)he gave it to Judas, (AT)the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, (AU)Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, (AV)“What you are going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, (AW)because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need (AX)for the feast,” or that he should (AY)give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. (AZ)And it was night.

A New Commandment

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, (BA)“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and (BB)God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, (BC)God will also glorify him in himself, and (BD)glorify him at once. 33 Little children, (BE)yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just (BF)as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ 34 (BG)A new commandment (BH)I give to you, (BI)that you love one another: (BJ)just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 (BK)By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” (BL)Jesus answered him, “Where I am going (BM)you cannot follow me now, (BN)but you will follow afterward.” 37 (BO)Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, (BP)the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.
