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。”

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!

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)
