John 13

Wycliffe Bible

13 But before the feast day of pask Jesus witting, that his hour is come, that he pass from this world to the Father [Jesus witting, for his hour cometh, that he pass over this world to the Father], when he had loved his that were in the world, into the end he loved them.

² And when the supper was made, when the devil had put then into the heart, that Judas of Simon Iscariot should betray him, [And the supper made, when the devil had sent now into the heart of Judas, of Simon Iscariot, that he should betray him,]

³ he witting that the Father gave all things to him into his hands, and that he went out from God, and goeth to God,

⁴ he riseth from the supper, and doeth off his clothes; and when he had taken a linen cloth, he girded him(self).

⁵ And afterward he put water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe with the linen cloth, with which he was girded.

⁶ And so he came to Simon Peter, and Peter saith to him, Lord, washest thou my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered, and said to him, What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know afterward.

⁸ Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered to him, If I shall not wash thee, thou shalt not have part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not only my feet, but both the hands and the head [but and mine hands and the head].

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is washed, hath no need but that he wash the feet, but he is all clean [but he is clean all]; and ye be clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew, who it was that should betray him [Forsooth he knew, who should betray him]; therefore he said, Ye be not all clean.

¹² And so after that he had washed their feet, he took his clothes; and when he was set to meat again, again he said to them, Ye know what I have done to you. [Therefore after that he had washed the feet of them, he took his clothes; and when he had rested again, again he said to them, Know ye what I have done to you(?)]

¹³ Ye call me master and Lord, and ye say well; for I am.

¹⁴ Therefore if I, Lord and master, have washed your feet, and ye shall wash one another's feet [and ye owe to wash another the tother's feet];

¹⁵ for I have given to you ensample, that as I have done to you, so do ye. [for I have given example to you, that as I have done to you, so and ye do.]

¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his lord, neither an apostle is greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, ye shall be blessed, if ye do them.

¹⁸ I say not of you all, I know which I have chosen [I know whom I have chosen]; but that the scripture be fulfilled, He that eateth my bread, shall raise his heel against me.

¹⁹ Truly, I say to you before it be done, that when it is done, ye believe that I am.

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, he that taketh whomever I shall send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

²¹ When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit, and witnessed, and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.

²² Therefore the disciples looked together, doubting of whom he said.

²³ And so one of his disciples was resting in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.

²⁴ Therefore Simon Peter beckoned to him, and said to him, Who is it, of whom he saith?

²⁵ And so when he had rested again on the breast of Jesus, he saith to him, Lord, who is it?

²⁶ Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall areach a sop of bread. And when he had wet bread, he gave to Judas of Simon Iscariot. [Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall dress bread dipped in. And when he had dipped in bread, he gave to Judas of Simon Iscariot.]

²⁷ And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. And Jesus saith to him, That thing that thou doest, do thou swiftly.

²⁸ And none of them that sat at the meat knew, whereto he said to him. [Forsooth no man sitting at the meat knew this thing, to what thing he said to him.]

²⁹ For some guessed, for Judas had purses, that Jesus had said to him, Buy thou those things, that be needful to us to the feast day [that be needful to us at the feast day], or that he should give something to needy men.

³⁰ Therefore when he had taken the morsel, he went out at once [he went out anon]; and it was night.

³¹ Therefore when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now man's Son is clarified, and God is clarified in him.

³² If God is clarified in him, and God shall clarify him in himself, and at once [and anon] he shall clarify him.

³³ Little sons, yet a little I am with you; ye shall seek me, and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go, ye be not able to come [Whither I go, ye may not come]; and to you I say now.

³⁴ I give to you a new commandment, that ye love together, as I have loved you, and that ye love together [that ye love together, as I loved you, that and ye love together].

³⁵ In this thing all men shall know, that ye be my disciples, if ye have love together.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou mayest not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me afterward.

³⁷ Peter saith to him, Why may I not follow thee now? I shall put my life for thee.

³⁸ Jesus answered, Thou shalt put thy life for me? Truly, truly, I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou shalt deny me thrice.

³⁹ And he saith to his disciples,
