John 13:13-23

New International Version

¹³ “You call me ‘Teacher’^(A) and ‘Lord,’^(B) 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.^{(C) 15} I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.^{(D) 16} Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master,^(E) 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.^(F)

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

¹⁸ “I am not referring to all of you;^(G) I know those I have chosen.^(H) But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture:^(I) ‘He who shared my bread^(J) has turned^[a](K) against me.’^[b](L)

¹⁹ “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe^(M) that I am who I am.^{(N) 20} Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”^(O)

²¹ After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit^(P) and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”^(Q)

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,^(R) was reclining next to him.
