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。”

13 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who [are] in the world -- to the end he loved them.

And supper being come, the devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him -- into [his] hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;

afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.

He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, `Sir, thou -- dost thou wash my feet?'

Jesus answered and said to him, `That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'

Peter saith to him, `Thou mayest not wash my feet -- to the age.' Jesus answered him, `If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;'

Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'

10 Jesus saith to him, `He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'

11 for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, `Ye are not all clean.'

12 When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) 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;

14 if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher -- ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 `For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

16 verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

17 if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

18 not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

19 `From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he];

20 verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

21 These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'

22 the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.

23 And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

24 Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,

25 and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?'

26 Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

27 And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost -- do quickly;'

28 and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,

29 for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, `Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;

30 having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

31 When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, `Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;

32 if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

33 `Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say [it] now.

34 `A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

35 in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

36 Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

37 Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

38 Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny 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.
