约翰福音 13
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
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。 2 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）， 3 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， 4 就起身離席，脫去外衣，拿一條手巾束腰。 5 然後他倒了一盆水，洗門徒的腳，並且用束腰的手巾擦乾。 6 輪到西門．彼得，彼得就說：“主啊，你要洗我的腳嗎？” 7 耶穌回答：“我所作的，你現在不知道，以後就會明白。” 8 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。” 9 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。”

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
The Voice
13 Before the Passover festival began, Jesus was keenly aware that His hour had come to depart from this world and to return to the Father. From beginning to end, Jesus’ days were marked by His love for His people. 2 Before Jesus and His disciples gathered for dinner, the adversary filled Judas Iscariot’s heart with plans of deceit and betrayal. 3 Jesus, knowing that He had come from God and was going away to God, 4 stood up from dinner and removed His outer garments. He then wrapped Himself in a towel, 5 poured water in a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, drying them with His towel.
Simon Peter (as Jesus approaches): 6 Lord, are You going to wash my feet?
Jesus: 7 Peter, you don’t realize what I am doing, but you will understand later.
Peter: 8 You will not wash my feet, now or ever!
Jesus: If I don’t wash you, you will have nothing to do with Me.
Peter: 9 Then wash me but don’t stop with my feet. Cleanse my hands and head as well.
Jesus: 10 Listen, anyone who has bathed is clean all over except for the feet. But I tell you this, not all of you are clean.
Within pain and filth, there is an opportunity to extend God’s kingdom through an expression of love, humility, and service. This simple act of washing feet is a metaphor for how the world looks through the lens of Jesus’ grace. He sees the people—the world He created—which He loves. He also sees the filthy corruption in the world that torments everyone. His mission is to cleanse those whom He loves from those horrors. This is His redemptive work with feet, families, disease, famine, and hearts.
When Jesus sees disease, He sees the opportunity to heal. When He sees sin, He sees a chance to forgive and redeem. When He sees dirty feet, He sees a chance to wash them.
11 He knew the one with plans of betraying Him, which is why He said, “not all of you are clean.” 12 After washing their feet and picking up His garments, He reclined at the table again.
Jesus: Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and truly, that is who I am. 14 So if your Lord and Teacher washes your feet, then you should wash one another’s feet. 15 I am your example; keep doing what I do. 16 I tell you the truth: a servant is not greater than the master. Those who are sent are not greater than the one who sends them.[a] 17 If you know these things, and if you put them into practice, you will find happiness. 18 I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but let the Hebrew Scripture be fulfilled that says, “The very same man who eats My bread with Me will stab Me in the back.” 19 Assuredly, I tell you these truths before they happen so that when it all transpires, you will believe that I am. 20 I tell you the truth: anyone who accepts the ones I send accepts Me. In turn, the ones who accept Me also accept the One who sent Me.
21 Jesus was becoming visibly distressed.
Jesus: I tell you the truth: one of you will betray Me.
22 The disciples began to stare at one another, wondering who was the unfaithful disciple. 23 One disciple in particular, who was loved by Jesus, reclined next to Him at the table. 24 Peter motioned to the disciple at Jesus’ side.
Peter (to the beloved disciple): Find out who the betrayer is.
Beloved Disciple (leaning in to Jesus): 25 Lord, who is it?
Jesus: 26 I will dip a piece of bread in My cup and give it to the one who will betray Me.
He dipped one piece in the cup and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After this occurred, Satan entered into Judas.
Jesus (to Judas): Make haste, and do what you are going to do.
28 No one understood Jesus’ instructions to Judas. 29 Because Judas carried the money, some thought he was being instructed to buy the necessary items for the feast or give some money to the poor. 30 So Judas took his piece of bread and departed into the night.
31 Upon Judas’s departure, Jesus spoke:
Jesus: Now the Son of Man will be glorified as God is glorified in Him. 32 If God’s glory is in Him, His glory is also in God. The moment of this astounding glory is imminent. 33 My children, My time here is brief. You will be searching for Me; and as I told the Jews, “You cannot go where I am going.” 34 So I give you a new command: Love each other deeply and fully. Remember the ways that I have loved you, and demonstrate your love for others in those same ways. 35 Everyone will know you as My followers if you demonstrate your love to others.
Simon Peter: 36 Lord, where are You going?
Jesus: Peter, you cannot come with Me now, but later you will join Me.
Peter: 37 Why can’t I go now? I’ll give my life for You!
Jesus: 38 Will you really give your life for Me? I tell you the truth: you will deny Me three times before the rooster crows.
