John 13:16-20
English Standard Version
16 Truly, truly, I say to you, (A)a servant[a] is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, (B)blessed are you if you do them. 18 (C)I am not speaking of all of you; I know (D)whom I have chosen. But (E)the Scripture will be fulfilled,[b] (F)‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 (G)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, (H)whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”
