Johannes 13

Jezus geeft een nieuwe opdracht

13 Kort voordat Pesach, het Joodse Paasfeest, begon, wist Jezus dat de tijd was aangebroken dat Hij deze wereld zou verlaten om naar zijn Vader te gaan. Juist toen liet Hij zien hoe groot zijn liefde was voor hen die in deze wereld bij Hem hoorden, en dat die liefde tot het uiterste zou gaan. 2 Terwijl zij zaten te eten, wist Jezus dat de duivel Judas Iskariot had overgehaald Hem te verraden en uit te leveren. 3 Hij was er Zich ten volle van bewust dat de Vader Hem de macht over alle dingen had gegeven en dat Hij bij God vandaan kwam en weer naar God zou teruggaan. 4 Hij stond van tafel op, legde zijn mantel af en deed een linnen doek om zijn middel. 5 Daarna goot Hij water in een kom en begon de voeten van zijn leerlingen te wassen. Hij droogde ze af met de doek die Hij om zijn middel had. 6 ‘Here,’ protesteerde Simon Petrus, ‘U gaat mijn voeten toch niet wassen?’ 7 Jezus antwoordde: ‘Nu begrijp je nog niet waarom Ik dit doe, maar later wel.’ 8 ‘Geen sprake van! Ik wil niet dat U mijn voeten wast!’ zei Petrus. ‘Als Ik ze niet mag wassen, Petrus, hoor je niet bij Mij,’ antwoordde Jezus. 9 ‘Dan maar helemaal, Here! Mijn voeten, mijn handen en mijn hoofd!’ was Petrusʼ antwoord. 10 Jezus zei: ‘Wie zich gebaad heeft, hoeft zich niet nog eens te wassen. Hij is helemaal schoon. 11 Jullie zijn dus schoon en zuiver, maar niet allemaal.’ Hij zei dat omdat Hij wist wie Hem zou uitleveren.

12 Toen Hij klaar was, sloeg Hij zijn mantel om en ging weer aan tafel. ‘Begrijpen jullie wat Ik voor jullie heb gedaan?’ vroeg Hij. 13 ‘Jullie noemen mij Meester en Here. En dat is juist, want dat ben Ik ook. 14 Als Ik nu jullie voeten heb gewassen, moeten jullie dat ook bij elkaar doen. 15 Want Ik heb jullie een voorbeeld gegeven, volg Mij hierin na.

16 Luister goed, een knecht is niet de meerdere van zijn baas en een boodschapper niet van wie hem gestuurd heeft! 17 Jullie zullen gelukkig zijn, als je van deze kennis ook gebruik maakt.

18 Wat Ik zeg, geldt niet voor iedereen hier. Ik weet wie Ik uitgekozen heb. Het moet gaan zoals geschreven staat: “Hij die regelmatig met Mij at, heeft zich tegen Mij gekeerd.” 19 Ik vertel het nu alvast. Als het dan gebeurt, zullen jullie geloven dat Ik ben die Ik ben. 20 Luister goed naar wat Ik zeg: wie iemand ontvangt die door Mij gestuurd is, ontvangt Mij, en wie Mij ontvangt, ontvangt mijn Vader die Mij gestuurd heeft.’

21 Nadat Hij dit had gezegd, werd Jezus diep ontroerd. ‘De waarheid is,’ zei Hij, ‘dat een van jullie Mij zal uitleveren.’ 22 De leerlingen keken elkaar vragend aan, zij hadden geen idee wie Hij bedoelde. 23 Rechts van Jezus zat de leerling die zijn beste vriend was 24 en Simon Petrus wenkte hem om hem aan Jezus te laten vragen wie Hij bedoelde. 25 Hij boog zich naar Jezus toe en vroeg: ‘Here, wie is het dan?’ 26 Jezus antwoordde: ‘Ik zal een stuk brood indopen en dat geven aan degene die het is.’ Hij nam een stuk brood, doopte het in de saus en gaf het aan Judas, de zoon van Simon Iskariot. 27 Op dat moment kwam de duivel in Judas. ‘Doe maar vlug wat je van plan bent,’ zei Jezus tegen hem. 28 Niemand aan tafel begreep wat Hij daarmee bedoelde. 29 Omdat Judas het geld beheerde, dachten sommigen dat hij iets voor het feest moest kopen of iets aan de armen moest gaan geven. 30 Nadat hij het brood van Jezus had aangenomen, ging Judas vlug naar buiten, de nacht in.

31 Toen Judas de deur uit was, zei Jezus: ‘Nu blijkt hoe groot en machtig Ik, de Mensenzoon, ben. En daardoor blijkt ook hoe groot en machtig God is. 32 Door wat er gaat gebeuren, zullen God en Ik in elkaar herkenbaar zijn en onze grootheid en macht zullen zichtbaar worden. 33 Vrienden, Ik zal niet lang meer bij jullie zijn! Jullie zullen Mij zoeken, maar zoals Ik al tegen de Joden zei: waar Ik heenga, kunnen jullie niet komen.

34 Dit is een nieuwe opdracht die Ik jullie geef: heb elkaar lief. Heb voor elkaar net zoveel liefde als Ik voor jullie heb. 35 Aan de onderlinge liefde zullen de mensen zien dat jullie mijn leerlingen zijn.’ 36 Simon Petrus vroeg: ‘Here, waar gaat U dan heen?’ ‘Daarheen kun je Mij nu niet volgen,’ antwoordde Jezus, ‘maar later wel.’ 37 ‘Maar waarom kan ik nu niet met U meegaan? Ik heb alles voor U over!’ zei Petrus. 38 ‘Alles voor Mij over?’ vroeg Jezus. ‘Luister goed, nog voor de haan kraait, zul je drie keer gezegd hebben dat je Mij niet kent!’

New International Version

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.

2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.(D) 3 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; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.(G) 5 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.

6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”(I)

8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”

Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

9 “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)

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

13 Now (A)before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that (B)His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He (C)loved them to the end.

2 And [a]supper being ended, (D)the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, 3 Jesus, knowing (E)that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He (F)had come from God and (G)was going to God, 4 (H)rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. 5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. 6 Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, (I)“Lord, are You washing my feet?”

7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you (J)do not understand now, (K)but you will know after this.”

8 Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!”

Jesus answered him, (L)“If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”

9 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

10 Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and (M)you are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For (N)He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”

12 So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you [b]know what I have done to you? 13 (O)You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14 (P)If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, (Q)you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For (R)I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 (S)Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 (T)If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Jesus Identifies His Betrayer(U)

18 “I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the (V)Scripture may be fulfilled, (W)‘He who eats [c]bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19 (X)Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He. 20 (Y)Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

21 (Z)When Jesus had said these things, (AA)He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (AB)one of you will betray Me.” 22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

23 Now (AC)there was [d]leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

25 Then, leaning [e]back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to (AD)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 (AE)Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him. 29 For some thought, because (AF)Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

The New Commandment

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, (AG)“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and (AH)God is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and (AI)glorify Him immediately. 33 Little children, I shall be with you a (AJ)little while longer. You will seek Me; (AK)and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. 34 (AL)A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 (AM)By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?”

Jesus answered him, “Where I (AN)am going you cannot follow Me now, but (AO)you shall follow Me afterward.”

37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will (AP)lay down my life for Your sake.”

38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not (AQ)crow till you have denied Me three times.

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. 2 During supper, when (G)the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3 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, 4 rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, (K)tied it around his waist. 5 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. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7 (M)Jesus answered him, “What I am doing (N)you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8 (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.” 9 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.
