So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, You are washing my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not realize right now, but you will understand (A)later.” Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, (B)If I do not wash you, (C)you have no [a]place with Me.” Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; otherwise he is completely clean. And (D)you are clean—but [b]not all of you.” 11 For (E)He knew the one who was betraying Him; it was for this reason that He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 Then, when He had washed their feet, and (F)taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you? 13 You call Me (G)‘Teacher’ and (H)‘Lord’; and [c]you are correct, for so I am. 14 So if I, (I)the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I gave you (J)an example, so that you also would do just as I did for you.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21 When Jesus had said these things, He (A)became troubled in spirit, and [a]testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that (B)one of you will [b]betray Me.” 22 The disciples began looking at one another, (C)at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. 23 Lying back on (D)Jesus’ chest was one of His disciples, (E)whom Jesus loved. 24 So Simon Peter *nodded to this disciple and *said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.” 25 He then simply (F)leaned back on Jesus’ chest and *said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus then *answered, “That man is the one for whom I shall dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread, He *took and *gave it to Judas, (G)the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After [c]this, (H)Satan then (I)entered him. Therefore Jesus *said to him, “What you are doing, do it quickly.” 28 Now none of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29 For some were assuming, since Judas (J)kept the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we need (K)for the feast”; or else, that he was to [d](L)give something to the poor. 30 So after receiving the piece of bread, he left immediately; and (M)it was night.

31 Therefore when he had left, Jesus *said, “Now [e]is (N)the Son of Man (O)glorified, and (P)God [f]is glorified in Him; 32 [g]if God is glorified in Him, (Q)God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately. 33 (R)Little children, I am still with you (S)a little longer. (T)You will look for Me; and just as I said to the [h]Jews, now I also say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34 I am giving you a (U)new commandment, (V)that you love one another; (W)just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 (X)By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”
