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。 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), 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, 就起身离席,脱去外衣,拿一条手巾束腰。 然后他倒了一盆水,洗门徒的脚,并且用束腰的手巾擦干。 轮到西门.彼得,彼得就说:“主啊,你要洗我的脚吗?” 耶稣回答:“我所作的,你现在不知道,以后就会明白。” 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。” 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。”

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!
