Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

13 Before the Passover festival, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go back to the Father. Jesus loved his own who were in the world, and he loved them to the end.

While supper was taking place, the devil had already put the idea of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

The Father had put everything in Jesus’ control. Jesus knew that. He also knew that he had come from God and was going back to God. So he got up from the table, removed his outer clothes, took a towel, and tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel that he had tied around his waist.

When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

Jesus answered Peter, “You don’t know now what I’m doing. You will understand later.”

Peter told Jesus, “You will never wash my feet.”

Jesus replied to Peter, “If I don’t wash you, you don’t belong to me.”

Simon Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, don’t wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head too!”

10 Jesus told Peter, “People who have washed are completely clean. They need to have only their feet washed. All of you, except for one, are clean.” 11 (Jesus knew who was going to betray him. That’s why he said, “All of you, except for one, are clean.”)

12 After Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer clothes, he took his place at the table again. Then he asked his disciples, “Do you understand what I’ve done for you? 13 You call me teacher and Lord, and you’re right because that’s what I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you must wash each other’s feet. 15 I’ve given you an example that you should follow. 16 I can guarantee this truth: Slaves are not superior to their owners, and messengers are not superior to the people who send them. 17 If you understand all of this, you are blessed whenever you follow my example.

18 “I’m not talking about all of you. I know the people I’ve chosen ⌞to be apostles⌟. However, I’ve made my choice so that Scripture will come true. It says, ‘The one who eats my bread has turned against me.’ 19 I’m telling you now before it happens. Then, when it happens, you will believe that I am the one.

20 “I can guarantee this truth: Whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”

Jesus Knows Who Will Betray Him(A)

21 After saying this, Jesus was deeply troubled. He declared, “I can guarantee this truth: One of you is going to betray me!”

22 The disciples began looking at each other and wondering which one of them Jesus meant.

23 One disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, was near him at the table. 24 Simon Peter motioned to that disciple and said, “Ask Jesus whom he’s talking about!”

25 Leaning close to Jesus, that disciple asked, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “He’s the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I’ve dipped it in the sauce.” So Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

27 Then, after Judas took the piece of bread, Satan entered him. So Jesus told him, “Hurry! Do what you have to do.” 28 No one at the table knew why Jesus said this to him. 29 Judas had the moneybag. So some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the poor.

30 Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went outside. It was night.

31 When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “The Son of Man is now glorified, and because of him God is glorified. 32 If God is glorified because of the Son of Man, God will glorify the Son of Man because of himself, and he will glorify the Son of Man at once.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(B)

33 Jesus said, “Dear children, I will still be with you for a little while. I’m telling you what I told the Jews. You will look for me, but you can’t go where I’m going.

34 “I’m giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you. 35 Everyone will know that you are my disciples because of your love for each other.”

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

Jesus answered him, “You can’t follow me now to the place where I’m going. However, you will follow me later.”

37 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I’ll give my life for you.”

38 Jesus replied, “Will you give your life for me? I can guarantee this truth: No rooster will crow until you say three times that you don’t know me.

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.

13 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

And supper being ended, the devil having now 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 was come from God, and went to God;

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

Jesús lava los pies de sus discípulos

13 Antes de la fiesta de la pascua, sabiendo Jesús que su hora había llegado para que pasase de este mundo al Padre, como había amado a los suyos que estaban en el mundo, los amó hasta el fin. Y cuando cenaban, como el diablo ya había puesto en el corazón de Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, que le entregase, sabiendo Jesús que el Padre le había dado todas las cosas en las manos, y que había salido de Dios, y a Dios iba, se levantó de la cena, y se quitó su manto, y tomando una toalla, se la ciñó. Luego puso agua en un lebrillo, y comenzó a lavar los pies de los discípulos, y a enjugarlos con la toalla con que estaba ceñido. Entonces vino a Simón Pedro; y Pedro le dijo: Señor, ¿tú me lavas los pies? Respondió Jesús y le dijo: Lo que yo hago, tú no lo comprendes ahora; mas lo entenderás después. Pedro le dijo: No me lavarás los pies jamás. Jesús le respondió: Si no te lavare, no tendrás parte conmigo. Le dijo Simón Pedro: Señor, no solo mis pies, sino también las manos y la cabeza. 10 Jesús le dijo: El que está lavado, no necesita sino lavarse los pies, pues está todo limpio; y vosotros limpios estáis, aunque no todos. 11 Porque sabía quién le iba a entregar; por eso dijo: No estáis limpios todos.

12 Así que, después que les hubo lavado los pies, tomó su manto, volvió a la mesa, y les dijo: ¿Sabéis lo que os he hecho? 13 Vosotros me llamáis Maestro, y Señor; y decís bien, porque lo soy. 14 Pues si yo, el Señor y el Maestro, he lavado vuestros pies, vosotros también debéis lavaros los pies los unos a los otros. 15 Porque ejemplo os he dado, para que como yo os he hecho, vosotros también hagáis.(A) 16 De cierto, de cierto os digo: El siervo no es mayor que su señor,(B) ni el enviado es mayor que el que le envió. 17 Si sabéis estas cosas, bienaventurados seréis si las hiciereis. 18 No hablo de todos vosotros; yo sé a quienes he elegido; mas para que se cumpla la Escritura: El que come pan conmigo, levantó contra mí su calcañar.(C) 19 Desde ahora os lo digo antes que suceda, para que cuando suceda, creáis que yo soy. 20 De cierto, de cierto os digo: El que recibe al que yo enviare, me recibe a mí; y el que me recibe a mí, recibe al que me envió.(D)

Jesús anuncia la traición de Judas

(Mt. 26.20-25; Mr. 14.17-21; Lc. 22.21-23)

21 Habiendo dicho Jesús esto, se conmovió en espíritu, y declaró y dijo: De cierto, de cierto os digo, que uno de vosotros me va a entregar. 22 Entonces los discípulos se miraban unos a otros, dudando de quién hablaba. 23 Y uno de sus discípulos, al cual Jesús amaba, estaba recostado al lado de Jesús. 24 A este, pues, hizo señas Simón Pedro, para que preguntase quién era aquel de quien hablaba. 25 Él entonces, recostado cerca del pecho de Jesús, le dijo: Señor, ¿quién es? 26 Respondió Jesús: A quien yo diere el pan mojado, aquel es. Y mojando el pan, lo dio a Judas Iscariote hijo de Simón. 27 Y después del bocado, Satanás entró en él. Entonces Jesús le dijo: Lo que vas a hacer, hazlo más pronto. 28 Pero ninguno de los que estaban a la mesa entendió por qué le dijo esto. 29 Porque algunos pensaban, puesto que Judas tenía la bolsa, que Jesús le decía: Compra lo que necesitamos para la fiesta; o que diese algo a los pobres. 30 Cuando él, pues, hubo tomado el bocado, luego salió; y era ya de noche.

El nuevo mandamiento

31 Entonces, cuando hubo salido, dijo Jesús: Ahora es glorificado el Hijo del Hombre, y Dios es glorificado en él. 32 Si Dios es glorificado en él, Dios también le glorificará en sí mismo, y en seguida le glorificará. 33 Hijitos, aún estaré con vosotros un poco. Me buscaréis; pero como dije a los judíos, así os digo ahora a vosotros: A donde yo voy, vosotros no podéis ir.(E) 34 Un mandamiento nuevo os doy: Que os améis unos a otros;(F) como yo os he amado, que también os améis unos a otros. 35 En esto conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si tuviereis amor los unos con los otros.

Jesús anuncia la negación de Pedro

(Mt. 26.31-35; Mr. 14.27-31; Lc. 22.31-34)

36 Le dijo Simón Pedro: Señor, ¿a dónde vas? Jesús le respondió: A donde yo voy, no me puedes seguir ahora; mas me seguirás después. 37 Le dijo Pedro: Señor, ¿por qué no te puedo seguir ahora? Mi vida pondré por ti. 38 Jesús le respondió: ¿Tu vida pondrás por mí? De cierto, de cierto te digo: No cantará el gallo, sin que me hayas negado tres veces.

13 Перед праздником Пасхи Иисус, зная, что пришел час Его перейти от мира сего к Отцу, [явил делом, что], возлюбив Своих сущих в мире, до конца возлюбил их.

И во время вечери, когда диавол уже вложил в сердце Иуде Симонову Искариоту предать Его,

Иисус, зная, что Отец все отдал в руки Его, и что Он от Бога исшел и к Богу отходит,

встал с вечери, снял [с Себя верхнюю] одежду и, взяв полотенце, препоясался.

Потом влил воды в умывальницу и начал умывать ноги ученикам и отирать полотенцем, которым был препоясан.

Подходит к Симону Петру, и тот говорит Ему: Господи! Тебе ли умывать мои ноги?

Иисус сказал ему в ответ: что Я делаю, теперь ты не знаешь, а уразумеешь после.

Петр говорит Ему: не умоешь ног моих вовек. Иисус отвечал ему: если не умою тебя, не имеешь части со Мною.

Симон Петр говорит Ему: Господи! не только ноги мои, но и руки и голову.

10 Иисус говорит ему: омытому нужно только ноги умыть, потому что чист весь; и вы чисты, но не все.

11 Ибо знал Он предателя Своего, потому [и] сказал: не все вы чисты.

12 Когда же умыл им ноги и надел одежду Свою, то, возлегши опять, сказал им: знаете ли, что Я сделал вам?

13 Вы называете Меня Учителем и Господом, и правильно говорите, ибо Я точно то.

14 Итак, если Я, Господь и Учитель, умыл ноги вам, то и вы должны умывать ноги друг другу.

15 Ибо Я дал вам пример, чтобы и вы делали то же, что Я сделал вам.

16 Истинно, истинно говорю вам: раб не больше господина своего, и посланник не больше пославшего его.

17 Если это знаете, блаженны вы, когда исполняете.

18 Не о всех вас говорю; Я знаю, которых избрал. Но да сбудется Писание: ядущий со Мною хлеб поднял на Меня пяту свою.

19 Теперь сказываю вам, прежде нежели [то] сбылось, дабы, когда сбудется, вы поверили, что это Я.

20 Истинно, истинно говорю вам: принимающий того, кого Я пошлю, Меня принимает; а принимающий Меня принимает Пославшего Меня.

21 Сказав это, Иисус возмутился духом, и засвидетельствовал, и сказал: истинно, истинно говорю вам, что один из вас предаст Меня.

22 Тогда ученики озирались друг на друга, недоумевая, о ком Он говорит.

23 Один же из учеников Его, которого любил Иисус, возлежал у груди Иисуса.

24 Ему Симон Петр сделал знак, чтобы спросил, кто это, о котором говорит.

25 Он, припав к груди Иисуса, сказал Ему: Господи! кто это?

26 Иисус отвечал: тот, кому Я, обмакнув кусок хлеба, подам. И, обмакнув кусок, подал Иуде Симонову Искариоту.

27 И после сего куска вошел в него сатана. Тогда Иисус сказал ему: что делаешь, делай скорее.

28 Но никто из возлежавших не понял, к чему Он это сказал ему.

29 А как у Иуды был ящик, то некоторые думали, что Иисус говорит ему: купи, что нам нужно к празднику, или чтобы дал что-- нибудь нищим.

30 Он, приняв кусок, тотчас вышел; а была ночь.

31 Когда он вышел, Иисус сказал: ныне прославился Сын Человеческий, и Бог прославился в Нем.

32 Если Бог прославился в Нем, то и Бог прославит Его в Себе, и вскоре прославит Его.

33 Дети! недолго уже быть Мне с вами. Будете искать Меня, и, как сказал Я Иудеям, что, куда Я иду, вы не можете придти, [так] и вам говорю теперь.

34 Заповедь новую даю вам, да любите друг друга; как Я возлюбил вас, [так] и вы да любите друг друга.

35 По тому узнают все, что вы Мои ученики, если будете иметь любовь между собою.

36 Симон Петр сказал Ему: Господи! куда Ты идешь? Иисус отвечал ему: куда Я иду, ты не можешь теперь за Мною идти, а после пойдешь за Мною.

37 Петр сказал Ему: Господи! почему я не могу идти за Тобою теперь? я душу мою положу за Тебя.

38 Иисус отвечал ему: душу твою за Меня положишь? истинно, истинно говорю тебе: не пропоет петух, как отречешься от Меня трижды.
