约翰福音 13
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
耶稣为门徒洗脚
13 逾越节前，耶稣知道他离开这世界回到父那里去的时候到了。他一直爱世界上那些属自己的人，并且爱他们到底。
2 晚餐的时候，魔鬼已经把出卖耶稣的念头放在加略人西门的儿子[a]犹大的心里。 3 耶稣知道父把一切交在自己手里，并且知道自己是从神那里来，又要回到神那里去。 4 他从席位上起身，脱了外衣，拿起一条布巾束在自己腰上， 5 然后把水倒进盆里，开始洗门徒们的脚，又用束在腰上的布巾擦干。
6 他来到西门彼得面前，彼得对他说：“主啊，你洗我的脚吗？”
7 耶稣回答说：“我所做的，你现在不理解，不过事后就会明白。”
8 彼得说：“你绝不可洗我的脚，永远不可！”
耶稣说：“如果我不洗你，你就与我没有份了。”
9 西门彼得说：“主啊！不单我的脚，连我的手、我的头也要洗！”
10 耶稣说：“洗过澡的人，除了脚以外，没有需要洗的；他是完全干净的。你们是干净的，但不是每个人都干净。” 11 原来，耶稣知道要出卖他的是谁，所以说“你们不是每个人都干净。”
彼此洗脚的意义
12 耶稣洗完了他们的脚以后，穿上外衣，又坐下来，对他们说：“你们明白我为你们做的事吗？ 13 你们叫我‘老师’，称呼我‘主’。你们说得对，因为我就是那一位。 14 因此，如果我——你们的主、你们的老师，还洗你们的脚，那么你们也应该彼此洗脚。 15 事实上，我给你们做了榜样，好让你们也照着我为你们所做的去做。
16 “我确确实实地告诉你们：没有一个奴仆大过他的主人，也没有一个被派的大过派他的人。 17 你们既然明白这些事，如果去做，就蒙福了。 18 我不是针对你们每个人而说的。我了解我所拣选的每个人，但这是为要应验经上的话：‘那吃我饼的人[b]，竟抬脚踢[c]我。’[d]
19 “如今，在事情发生以前，我先告诉你们，好让你们在事情发生的时候，能相信我就是那一位。 20 我确确实实地告诉你们：那接受我所派的人，就是接受我；接受我的，就是接受派我来的那一位。”
预言犹大卖主
21 说完这些话，耶稣灵里烦扰，就指名说：“我确确实实地告诉你们：你们当中有一个人要出卖我。”
22 门徒彼此相看，不知道耶稣说的是谁。 23 他的门徒当中，有一个挨着耶稣坐着[e]，是耶稣所爱的。 24 西门彼得就向他点头示意，要他问耶稣所讲的人到底是谁。 25 于是那门徒贴近耶稣[f]，问他：“主啊，是谁呢？”
26 耶稣回答：“我蘸一块饼给谁，就是谁。”接着，他蘸了一块饼拿给加略人西门的儿子[g]犹大。 27 犹大一接那块饼，撒旦就进了他里面。于是耶稣对他说：“你要做的，就快一点做吧。”
28 在座的人，没有一个明白耶稣为什么对他说这话。 29 因为犹大管钱包，有些人以为耶稣对他说，去买我们过节需要的东西，或是要他给穷人什么东西。 30 犹大接了那块饼，就立刻出去。那时候是夜间了。
新的命令
31 犹大出去以后，耶稣就说：“现在人子得了荣耀，神藉着人子也得了荣耀。 32 神既然藉着人子得了荣耀，[h]神也将藉着自己荣耀人子，而且立刻就要荣耀他。
33 “孩子们哪，我与你们在一起的时候不多了。你们将寻找我，而且就像我曾经告诉过那些犹太人一样，现在我也告诉你们：我去的地方，你们不能去。
34 “我给你们一条新的命令：就是要你们彼此相爱，就如我爱你们，为要使你们也彼此相爱。 35 如果你们彼此之间有了爱，众人从这一点就会知道你们是我的门徒了。”
预言彼得不认主
36 西门彼得问：“主啊，你要到哪里去呢？”
耶稣回答：“我去的地方，你现在不能跟着去，但以后会跟着去。”
37 彼得说：“主啊，为什么我现在就不能跟随你呢？为了你，我愿意舍弃自己的生命！”
38 耶稣回答：“你愿意为我舍命吗？我确确实实地告诉你：鸡叫以前，你必定三次不认我。

Traducción en lenguaje actual
Jesús lava los pies de sus discípulos
13 Faltaba muy poco para que empezara la fiesta de la Pascua, y Jesús sabía que se acercaba el momento en que dejaría este mundo para ir a reunirse con Dios, su Padre. Él siempre había amado a sus seguidores que estaban en el mundo, y los amó de la misma manera hasta el fin.
2 Aun antes de empezar la cena, el diablo ya había hecho que Judas hijo de Simón, el Iscariote, se decidiera a traicionar a Jesús.
3 Dios había enviado a Jesús, y Jesús lo sabía; y también sabía que regresaría para estar con Dios, pues Dios era su Padre y le había dado todo el poder. 4 Por eso, mientras estaban cenando, Jesús se levantó de la mesa, se quitó su manto y se ató una toalla a la cintura. 5 Luego echó agua en una palangana, y comenzó a enjuagar los pies de sus discípulos y a secárselos con la toalla.
6 Cuando le tocó el turno a Pedro, éste le dijo a Jesús:
—Señor, no creo que tú debas lavarme los pies.
7 Jesús le respondió:
—Ahora no entiendes lo que estoy haciendo, pero después lo entenderás.
8 Pedro le dijo:
—¡Nunca dejaré que me laves los pies!
Jesús le contestó:
—Si no te lavo los pies, ya no podrás ser mi seguidor.
9 Simón Pedro dijo:
—¡Señor, entonces no me laves solamente los pies, sino lávame también las manos y la cabeza!
10 Jesús le dijo:
—El que está recién bañado está totalmente limpio, y no necesita lavarse más que los pies. Y ustedes están limpios, aunque no todos.
11 Jesús ya sabía quién iba a traicionarlo; por eso dijo que no todos estaban limpios.
12 Después de lavarles los pies, Jesús se puso otra vez el manto y volvió a sentarse a la mesa. Les preguntó:
«¿Entienden ustedes lo que acabo de hacer? 13 Ustedes me llaman Maestro y Señor, y tienen razón, porque soy Maestro y Señor. 14 Pues si yo, su Señor y Maestro, les he lavado los pies, también ustedes deben lavarse los pies unos a otros. 15 Yo les he dado el ejemplo, para que ustedes hagan lo mismo. 16 Ustedes saben que ningún esclavo es más importante que su amo, y que ningún mensajero es más importante que quien lo envía. 17 Si entienden estas cosas, háganlas, y así Dios los bendecirá.
18 »No estoy hablando de todos ustedes. Yo sé a quiénes elegí. Pero tiene que cumplirse esto que la Biblia anunció:
“Aquel con quien compartía mi pan,
se ha puesto en contra mía.”
19 »Les digo esto desde ahora para que, cuando suceda, ustedes crean que Yo Soy.[a] 20 Si alguien recibe al que yo envío, me recibe a mí. Y el que me recibe a mí, recibe también al que me envió.»
Jesús anuncia que será traicionado
21 Después de que dijo esto, Jesús se sintió muy preocupado, y añadió: «Yo sé que uno de ustedes me va a traicionar.»
22 Los discípulos comenzaron a mirarse unos a otros, sin saber de quién estaba hablando.
23 Mientras cenaban, el discípulo favorito de Jesús estaba sentado junto a él. 24 Simón Pedro le hizo señas para que le preguntara a Jesús de quién estaba hablando. 25 Ese discípulo se acercó más a Jesús, y le preguntó:
—Señor, ¿quién te va a traicionar?
26 Jesús le respondió:
—Es el que va a recibir el pedazo de pan que voy a mojar en la salsa.
Jesús mojó el pan y se lo entregó a Judas hijo de Simón, el Iscariote. 27 En ese mismo instante, Satanás se metió en el corazón de Judas.
Jesús le dijo: «Judas, apúrate a hacer lo que has planeado.»
28 Pero ninguno de los que estaban allí entendió lo que Jesús había dicho. 29 Como Judas era el encargado de guardar el dinero del grupo, algunos pensaron que Jesús le había pedido que comprara lo necesario para la fiesta de la Pascua, o que repartiera dinero a los pobres.
30 Después de recibir el pan, Judas salió inmediatamente. Para entonces, ya estaba oscuro.
El nuevo mandamiento
31 Después de que Judas salió, Jesús les dijo a los otros discípulos:
—Ahora la gente podrá ver lo grande y poderoso que soy yo, el Hijo del hombre. Gracias a mí también podrán ver lo poderoso y grande que es Dios. 32 Si yo hago que la gente vea lo grande y poderoso que es Dios, entonces Dios hará que la gente también vea lo poderoso y grande que soy yo. Y Dios hará esto pronto.
33 »Mis amados amigos, dentro de poco ya no estaré más con ustedes. Me buscarán, pero no me encontrarán. Les digo a ustedes lo mismo que les dije a los jefes judíos: No pueden ir a donde yo voy.
34 »Les doy un mandamiento nuevo: Ámense unos a otros.
»Ustedes deben amarse de la misma manera que yo los amo. 35 Si se aman de verdad, entonces todos sabrán que ustedes son mis seguidores.
Pedro niega conocer a Jesús
36 Simón Pedro le preguntó a Jesús:
—Señor, ¿a dónde vas a ir?
Jesús le respondió:
—Ahora no puedes venir conmigo. Pero después sí vendrás.
37 Pero Pedro insistió:
—¿Por qué no puedo acompañarte ahora, Señor? ¡Estoy dispuesto a morir por ti!
38 Jesús le contestó:
—¿En verdad estás dispuesto a morir por mí? Te aseguro que, antes de que el gallo cante, tres veces dirás que no me conoces.

Jesus Washes His Followers’ Feet
13 ·It was almost time for [L Now before…,] the Passover Feast [12:12]. Jesus knew that it was ·time [L the hour] for him to ·leave [depart from] this world and go back to the Father. He had always loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them ·all the way to the end [or completely; totally].
2 ·Jesus and his followers were at the evening meal [L It was dinnertime]. The devil had already ·persuaded [L put it into the heart of] Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to ·turn against [betray] Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had ·given him power over everything [L placed everything into his hands] and that he had come from God and was going back to God. 4 So ·during the meal [L from supper] Jesus stood up and took off his outer clothing. Taking a towel, he wrapped it around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into a bowl and began to wash the ·followers’ [disciples’] feet, ·drying [wiping] them with the towel that was wrapped around him. [C This act was considered so demeaning by some people that they only allowed Gentile slaves to do it.]
6 Jesus came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus answered, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
8 Peter said, “No, you will never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “If I don’t wash your feet, you ·are not one of my people [L have no share/part with me].”
9 Simon Peter answered, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but wash my hands and my head, too!”
10 Jesus said to him, “After a person has ·had a bath [washed; bathed], his whole body is clean. He needs only to wash his feet. And you men are clean, but not all of you.” 11 [L For] Jesus knew who would ·turn against [betray] him, and that is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and ·sat down [L reclined; C the posture for a banquet or dinner party] again. He asked, “Do you understand what I have just done ·for [to] you? 13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’ [C titles appropriately ascribed to an esteemed Rabbi, but which took on deeper meaning after his death and resurrection], and you are right, because that is what I am. 14 If I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash each other’s feet. 15 I did this as ·an example [a pattern] so that you should do as I have done for you. 16 ·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly, I say to you], a ·servant [slave; bond-servant] is not greater than his ·master [lord]. [L And] A messenger is not greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
18 “I am not talking about all of you. I know those I have chosen. But this is to ·bring about what the Scripture said [L fulfill the Scripture]: ·‘The man who ate at my table has turned against me.’ [L ‘The one who ate bread with me lifted his heel against me’; Ps. 41:9; C eating with someone showed an intimate relationship, and lifting one’s heel was an act of betrayal.] 19 I am telling you this now before it happens so that when it happens, you will believe that ·I am he [L I am; C this may be an allusion to God’s (Yahweh’s) self identification as “I AM” in Ex. 3:14, or to God’s repeated claim that “I am he” throughout Is. 40—55; see John 8:24, 28, 58]. 20 ·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly, I say to you], whoever ·accepts [receives] anyone I send also ·accepts [receives] me. And whoever ·accepts [receives] me also ·accepts [receives] the One who sent me [Matt. 10:40].”
Jesus Talks About His Death(A)
21 After Jesus said this, he was very troubled [L in spirit]. He ·said openly [bore witness and said], “·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly, I say to you], one of you will ·turn against [betray] me.”
22 The ·followers [disciples] all looked at each other, because they did not know whom Jesus was talking about. 23 One of the ·followers [disciples] ·sitting next to Jesus [L reclining at his side/chest; C an honored position] was the ·follower [disciple] Jesus loved [C a reference to John]. 24 Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
25 That ·follower [disciple] ·leaned [reclined] closer to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus answered, “I will dip this [piece/morsel of] bread into the dish. The man I give it to is the man who will ·turn against [betray] me.” So Jesus took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 ·As soon as [After] Judas took the [piece/morsel of] bread, Satan entered him. [L Then] Jesus said to him, “·The thing that you will do—do it quickly [T What you do, do quickly].” 28 No one ·at the table [L of those reclining] understood why Jesus said this to Judas. 29 Since he was the one who kept the money ·box [or bag], some of the ·followers [disciples] thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the ·feast [festival] or to give something to the poor.
30 [L So] Judas took the [piece/morsel of] bread Jesus gave him and immediately went out. It was night. [C The night is both a time reference and a symbol of Judas’ evil actions.]
31 When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “Now the ·Son of Man [C a title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14] ·receives his glory [is glorified], and God ·receives glory [is glorified] through him. 32 If God ·receives glory [is glorified] through him,[a] then God will ·give glory to [glorify; honor] the Son through himself. And God will ·give him glory [glorify/honor him] ·quickly [immediately; at once].”
33 Jesus said, “·My children [or Little children; C a term of endearment], I will be with you only a little longer. You will ·look for [seek] me, and what I told the Jews [7:33–34; 8:21], I tell you now: Where I am going you cannot come.
34 “I give you a new ·command [commandment]: Love ·each other [T one another]. You must love ·each other [T one another] as I have loved you. 35 All people will know that you are my ·followers [disciples] if you love ·each other [T one another].”
Peter Will Say He Doesn’t Know Jesus(B)
36 Simon Peter asked Jesus, “Lord, where are you going?”
Jesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”
37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I ·am ready to die for you [L will lay down my life for you]!”
38 Jesus answered, “·Are you ready to die for me [L Will you lay down your life for me]? ·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly, I say to you], before the ·rooster [cock] crows, you will ·say three times that you don’t know me [deny/disown me three times].”

The Testament of the Lord[a]
Chapter 13
Jesus Washes the Feet of the Disciples.[b] 1 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.
2 The devil had already put it into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. During supper, 3 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, 4 got up from the table, removed his outer garments, and took a towel that he tied around his waist. 5 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.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered, “You do not understand now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8 Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you will have no share with me.” 9 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.
Footnotes
- 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. - 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.
- 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. - John 13:19 See note on Jn 4:26.
- 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. - 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).
