Jesus lava os pés aos discípulos

13 Ora, antes da festa da Páscoa, sabendo Jesus que era chegada a sua hora de passar deste mundo para o Pai, como havia amado os seus que estavam no mundo, amou-os até ao fim. E, acabada a ceia, tendo já o diabo posto no coração de Judas Iscariotes, filho de Simão, que o traísse, Jesus, sabendo que o Pai tinha depositado nas suas mãos todas as coisas, e que havia saído de Deus, e que ia para Deus, levantou-se da ceia, tirou as vestes e, tomando uma toalha, cingiu-se. Depois, pôs água numa bacia e começou a lavar os pés aos discípulos e a enxugar-lhos com a toalha com que estava cingido. Aproximou-se, pois, de Simão Pedro, que lhe disse: Senhor, tu lavas-me os pés a mim? Respondeu Jesus e disse-lhe: O que eu faço, não o sabes tu, agora, mas tu o saberás depois. Disse-lhe Pedro: Nunca me lavarás os pés. Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Se eu te não lavar, não tens parte comigo. Disse-lhe Simão Pedro: Senhor, não só os meus pés, mas também as mãos e a cabeça. 10 Disse-lhe Jesus: Aquele que está lavado não necessita de lavar senão os pés, pois no mais todo está limpo. Ora, vós estais limpos, mas não todos. 11 Porque bem sabia ele quem o havia de trair; por isso, disse: Nem todos estais limpos.

12 Depois que lhes lavou os pés, e tomou as suas vestes, e se assentou outra vez à mesa, disse-lhes: Entendeis o que vos tenho feito? 13 Vós me chamais Mestre e Senhor e dizeis bem, porque eu o sou. 14 Ora, se eu, Senhor e Mestre, vos lavei os pés, vós deveis também lavar os pés uns aos outros. 15 Porque eu vos dei o exemplo, para que, como eu vos fiz, façais vós também. 16 Na verdade, na verdade vos digo que não é o servo maior do que o seu senhor, nem o enviado, maior do que aquele que o enviou. 17 Se sabeis essas coisas, bem-aventurados sois se as fizerdes. 18 Não falo de todos vós; eu bem sei os que tenho escolhido; mas para que se cumpra a Escritura: O que come o pão comigo levantou contra mim o seu calcanhar. 19 Desde agora, vo-lo digo, antes que aconteça, para que, quando acontecer, acrediteis que eu sou. 20 Na verdade, na verdade vos digo que se alguém receber o que eu enviar, me recebe a mim, e quem me recebe a mim recebe aquele que me enviou.

Jesus prediz que Judas o há de trair(A)

21 Tendo Jesus dito isso, turbou-se em espírito e afirmou, dizendo: Na verdade, na verdade vos digo que um de vós me há de trair. 22 Então, os discípulos olhavam uns para os outros, sem saberem de quem ele falava. 23 Ora, um de seus discípulos, aquele a quem Jesus amava, estava reclinado no seio de Jesus. 24 Então, Simão Pedro fez sinal a este, para que perguntasse quem era aquele de quem ele falava. 25 E, inclinando-se ele sobre o peito de Jesus, disse-lhe: Senhor, quem é? 26 Jesus respondeu: É aquele a quem eu der o bocado molhado. E, molhando o bocado, o deu a Judas Iscariotes, filho de Simão. 27 E, após o bocado, entrou nele Satanás. Disse, pois, Jesus: O que fazes, faze-o depressa. 28 E nenhum dos que estavam assentados à mesa compreendeu a que propósito lhe dissera isso, 29 porque, como Judas tinha a bolsa, pensavam alguns que Jesus lhe tinha dito: Compra o que nos é necessário para a festa ou que desse alguma coisa aos pobres. 30 E, tendo Judas tomado o bocado, saiu logo. E era já noite.

As últimas instruções de Jesus aos discípulos

31 Tendo ele, pois, saído, disse Jesus: Agora, é glorificado o Filho do Homem, e Deus é glorificado nele. 32 Se Deus é glorificado nele, também Deus o glorificará em si mesmo e logo o há de glorificar. 33 Filhinhos, ainda por um pouco estou convosco. Vós me buscareis, e, como tinha dito aos judeus: para onde eu vou não podeis vós ir, eu vo-lo digo também agora. 34 Um novo mandamento vos dou: Que vos ameis uns aos outros; como eu vos amei a vós, que também vós uns aos outros vos ameis. 35 Nisto todos conhecerão que sois meus discípulos, se vos amardes uns aos outros.

36 Disse-lhe Simão Pedro: Senhor, para onde vais? Jesus lhe respondeu: Para onde eu vou não podes, agora, seguir-me, mas, depois, me seguirás. 37 Disse-lhe Pedro: Por que não posso seguir-te agora? Por ti darei a minha vida. 38 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Tu darás a tua vida por mim? Na verdade, na verdade te digo que não cantará o galo, enquanto me não tiveres negado três vezes.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

“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)

13 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God, arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist. Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”

Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”

Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!”

Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”

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

10 Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.” 12 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am. 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you. 16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18 I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’(A) 19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he. 20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”

21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”

22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”

25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him.

Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. 32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately. 33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you. 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?”

Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”

37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
