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, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end.

And during supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, that he should deliver him up,

[Jesus,] knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came out from God and was going to God,

rises from supper and lays aside his garments, and having taken a linen towel he girded himself:

then he pours water into the washhand basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the linen towel with which he was girded.

He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and *he* says to him, Lord, dost thou wash *my* feet?

Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou dost not know now, but thou shalt know hereafter.

Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me.

Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus says to him, He that is washed all over needs not to wash save his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all.

11 For he knew him that delivered him up: on account of this he said, Ye are not all clean.

12 When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye know what I have done to you?

13 Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for I am [so].

14 If I therefore, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet;

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

16 Verily, verily, I say to you, The bondman is not greater than his lord, nor the sent greater than he who has sent him.

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

18 I speak not of you all. I know those whom I have chosen; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.

19 I tell you [it] now before it happens, that when it happens, ye may believe that I am [he].

20 Verily, verily, I say to you, He who receives whomsoever I shall send receives me; and he that receives me receives him who has sent me.

21 Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

22 The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.

23 Now there was at table one of his disciples in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.

24 Simon Peter makes a sign therefore to him to ask who it might be of whom he spoke.

25 But he, leaning on the breast of Jesus, says to him, Lord, who is it?

26 Jesus answers, He it is to whom I, after I have dipped the morsel, give it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote.

27 And, after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou doest, do quickly.

28 But none of those at table knew why he said this to him;

29 for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Having therefore received the morsel, he went out immediately; and it was night.

31 When therefore he was gone out Jesus says, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

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

33 Children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go ye cannot come, I say to you also now.

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

35 By this shall all know that ye are disciples of mine, if ye have love amongst yourselves.

36 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me after.

37 Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

38 Jesus answers, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice.

Jézus megmossa a tanítványai lábát

13 Mielőtt a páska ünnepe megkezdődött volna, Jézus már tudta, hogy itt az ideje, hogy elhagyja ezt a világot, és visszatérjen az Atyához. Szerette azokat, akik ezen a világon az övéi voltak — mindvégig szerette őket.

Jézus és a tanítványai együtt voltak a Páska-vacsoránál. A Sátán már korábban rávette Iskáriótes Júdást, Simon fiát, hogy Jézust igyekezzen ellenségei kezébe adni. Jézus tisztában volt vele, hogy az Atya minden hatalmat neki adott, és hogy ő Istentől jött, és hamarosan vissza is tér Istenhez. Felkelt hát a vacsorától, levette felső ruháját, és egy törlőkendőt kötött a dereka köré. Azután vizet öntött egy edénybe, és sorban megmosta, majd a kendővel megtörölte a tanítványai lábát.[a]

Amikor Simon Péterhez ért, ő azt kérdezte: „Uram, hogy lehet az, hogy te mosod meg az én lábamat?”

Jézus így válaszolt neki: „Most még nem érted, amit teszek, de később majd megérted.”

Péter azt válaszolta: „Azt már nem! Az én lábamat ugyan meg nem mosod soha!”

„Ha nem moslak meg, semmi közöd sincs hozzám” — felelte Jézus.

Péter erre azt kérte: „Uram, akkor ne csak a lábamat mosd meg, hanem a kezemet és a fejemet is!”

10 Erre Jézus így válaszolt: „Aki megfürdött, annak csak a lábát kell megmosni, különben az egész teste tiszta. Ti már tiszták vagytok, de nem mindannyian.” 11 Jézus tudta, ki árulja el, ezért mondta: „nem vagytok tiszták mindannyian”.

12 Miután megmosta a tanítványok lábát, Jézus újra felvette a felsőruháját, visszaült az asztalhoz, és megkérdezte: „Értitek-e, mit tettem veletek? 13 Ti Mesternek és Úrnak hívtok engem, és igazatok is van, mert az vagyok. 14 Ha pedig én, aki Úr és Mester vagyok, megmostam a lábatokat, akkor nektek is meg kell mosnotok egymás lábát. 15 Példát adtam nektek, hogy ti is ugyanúgy bánjatok egymással, ahogy én veletek. 16 Igazán mondom nektek: a szolga nem nagyobb az uránál, és a küldött sem nagyobb annál, aki elküldte. 17 Most már tudjátok ezeket, de akkor lesztek boldogok és áldottak, ha valóban meg is teszitek.

18 Nem mindnyájatokról beszélek. Ismerem azokat, akiket kiválasztottam, de amit az Írás mond, annak be kell teljesednie: »Az fordult ellenem, aki a kenyeremet ette.«[b] 19 Azért mondom ezt most, mielőtt megtörténne, hogy amikor majd megtörténik, higgyetek bennem, hogy ÉN VAGYOK.[c] 20 Igazán mondom nektek: aki befogadja azt, akit én küldök, az engem fogad be, aki pedig engem befogad, azt fogadja be, aki engem küldött.”

Egyikőtök elárul engem!(A)

21 Miután Jézus ezt mondta, nagyon nyugtalan[d] lett, és így szólt: „Igazán mondom nektek: egyikőtök el fog árulni engem!”

22 A tanítványok zavarban voltak, és tanácstalanul néztek egymásra, mert nem tudták, melyikükről beszél. 23 Egyikük, akit Jézus különösen szeretett, éppen Jézus mellett foglalt helyet. 24 Simon Péter intett neki, hogy kérdezze meg Jézustól, kiről beszélt az előbb.

25 Ekkor az a tanítvány közelebb hajolt Jézushoz, és megkérdezte tőle: „Uram, melyikünk az?”

26 Jézus így felelt: „Az, akinek ezt a bemártott falat kenyeret adom.” Ezzel vett egy darab kenyeret, a tálba mártotta, és odanyújtotta Iskáriótes Júdásnak, Simon fiának. 27 Amikor Júdás megette a kenyeret, belé költözött a Sátán. Ekkor Jézus ezt mondta Júdásnak: „Tedd meg hamar, amit tenni készülsz!” 28 De senki sem értette, hogy ez mit jelent. 29 Néhányan azt hitték, hogy Jézus azt mondta Júdásnak, vegye meg, amire szükségük lesz az ünnepen, vagy adjon valamit a szegényeknek.

30 Miután Júdás megette azt a falatot, azonnal elment. Ekkor már éjszaka volt.

Új parancsot adok: szeressétek egymást!

31 Miután Júdás elment, Jézus megszólalt: „Most dicsőült meg az Emberfia, és általa Isten is megdicsőült. 32 Ha Isten dicsőséget kapott az Emberfia által, Isten is hamarosan megdicsőíti az Emberfiát — és ez hamar meg fog történni.

33 Gyermekeim, már nem sokáig maradok veletek. Kerestek majd engem, de ahogyan a júdeaiaknak már korábban mondtam, most nektek is mondom, hogy ahová én megyek, oda nem jöhettek velem.

34 Új parancsot adok nektek: szeressétek egymást! Ahogyan én szerettelek titeket, nektek is úgy kell szeretnetek egymást! 35 Arról ismeri majd fel mindenki, hogy a tanítványaim vagytok, hogy szeretitek egymást.”

Péter fogadkozása(B)

36 Ekkor Simon Péter megkérdezte tőle: „Uram, hová mész?”

Jézus így válaszolt: „Most még nem jöhetsz velem oda, ahová megyek, de később majd követsz engem.”

37 Péter megkérdezte: „Uram, miért nem mehetek veled most? Az életemet is odaadnám érted!”

38 Jézus így felelt: „Az életedet adod értem? Igazán mondom neked: ma éjjel, mielőtt a kakas kukorékol, háromszor is le fogod tagadni, hogy ismersz engem!”

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)

The Testament of the Lord[a]

Chapter 13

Jesus Washes the Feet of the Disciples.[b] As the feast of Passover drew near, Jesus was aware that his hour had come to depart from this world and to go to the Father. He had loved his own who were in the world, and he loved them to the end.

The devil had already put it into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. During supper, Jesus, fully aware that the Father had entrusted all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was returning to God, got up from the table, removed his outer garments, and took a towel that he tied around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel wrapped around his waist.

He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered, “You do not understand now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you will have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”

10 Jesus then said, “Anyone who has bathed has no need to wash further, except for his feet, for he is clean all over. You also are clean, although not every one of you is clean.” 11 He knew the one who was going to betray him. That is why he added the words, “Not every one of you is clean.”

12 After he had finished washing their feet and had once again put on his outer garments, he reclined at table and said to them,

“Do you understand
what I have done for you?
13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’
and rightly so,
for that is what I am.
14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher,
have washed your feet,
you also should wash one another’s feet.
15 “I have given you an example.
What I have done for you,
you should also do.
16 Amen, amen, I say to you,
a servant is not greater than his master,
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.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal[c]

18 “I am not speaking about all of you.
I know those whom I have chosen.
However, what the Scripture says
must be fulfilled,
‘The one who ate bread with me
has raised his heel against me.’
19 “I tell you this now,
before it occurs,
so that when it does occur,
you may believe that I am.[d]
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.”

21 After saying this, Jesus was deeply distressed, and he declared,

“Amen, amen, I say to you,
one of you will betray me.”

22 The disciples looked at one another, puzzled as to which one of them he meant. 23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus’ side. 24 Simon Peter signaled to him to ask Jesus which one he meant.

25 Therefore, leaning back toward Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread after I have dipped it into the dish.” And when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

27 As soon as Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus then said to him, “Do quickly what you are going to do.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he had said this to him. 29 Some thought that since Judas was in charge of the money bag, Jesus was telling him to purchase what was needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor. 30 As soon as Judas had received the piece of bread, he immediately departed. It was night.

31 After Judas had departed, Jesus said,

“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.

A New Commandment[e]

33 “My children,
I will be with you
only a short time longer.
You will look for me,
and, as I told the Jews,
so I now say to you,
‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
34 “I give you a new commandment:
love one another.
Just as I have loved you,
so you should also love one another.
35 This is how everyone will know
that you are my disciples:
if you love one another.”

36 Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial.[f] Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered,

“Where I am going,
you cannot follow me now,
but you will follow me later on.”

37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, before the cock crows, you will have denied me three times.

  1. John 13:1 This is the first of three parts that can clearly be distinguished in Jn 13:1—17:26. These pages constitute the best known section of the fourth Gospel, which at this point becomes the great book of meditation for Christians. The author develops a lengthy farewell address in the setting of the final meal. On the eve of his death, Christ lets his disciples know the deepest secrets of his love for God.
    The other two parts in this lengthy piece are: the community of the witnesses to Christ (15:1—16:33) and the priestly prayer of Jesus (17:1-26). Scholars believe that the three parts probably reflect three redactional stages.
  2. John 13:1 The story of the Last Supper is not told in John, and we shall never know exactly why, but the farewell meal here is described in the same spirit. By washing the feet of his disciples, Jesus performs the action of a slave; love has indeed made him the servant of his friends.
  3. John 13:18 The announcement of the betrayal of Jesus comes in the discourse that follows the washing of the feet. Jesus brings the crisis to a head. The traitor can no longer remain in the intimacy of the Lord, sharing his table and his confidences. The darkness must one day be separated from the light (see v. 30).
    Now the drama of the Passion begins; Jesus considers it the hour of his glory. He acts with a knowledge of the events that is the knowledge of God. Jesus is the Lord, as indicated by his title “I AM.” This attestation serves to make the faith of the disciples stronger.
    For the first time we meet “the disciple whom Jesus loved”; we shall find this unusual “name” three more times: once beneath the cross (Jn 19:26f), and the other two times in connection, once again, with Peter (Jn 20:2-10; 21:20-22). The tradition has always identified this disciple with John.
  4. John 13:19 See note on Jn 4:26.
  5. John 13:33 Jesus is not the first to recommend friendship, mutual service, and brotherly affection. But to love as he loved goes so much further as to become an absolute. It is no doubt for the purpose of underlining this that the fourth Gospel puts the commandment to love in the context of farewells; it likewise makes evident that this law of life is the most original sign of the community’s faithfulness to Christ.
    To love, to serve to the point of taking the last place and giving one’s life, goes beyond human strength. Perhaps the dialogue with Peter is there to say that good feelings are not enough and that it takes the grace given by the death of Christ to have such strength.
  6. John 13:36 Peter’s denial is predicted in all four Gospels (Mt 26:33-35; Mk 14:29-31; Lk 22:31-34 and here).
