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)

The Lord’s Supper

13 Now before the Feast of (A)the Passover, Jesus, knowing that (B)His hour had come that He would depart from this world (C)to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them [a]to the end. And during supper, (D)the devil having already put into the heart of (E)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, (F)knowing that the Father had handed all things over to Him, and that (G)He had come forth from God and was going back to God, *got up from supper and *laid His outer garments aside; and He took a towel and (H)tied it around Himself.

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

Then He *poured water into the basin, and began (I)washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself. 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 (J)later.” Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, (K)If I do not wash you, (L)you have no [b]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 (M)you are clean—but [c]not all of you.” 11 For (N)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 (O)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 (P)‘Teacher’ and (Q)‘Lord’; and [d]you are correct, for so I am. 14 So if I, (R)the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I gave you (S)an example, so that you also would do just as I did for you. 16 Truly, truly I say to you, (T)a slave is not greater than his master, nor is [e](U)one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are (V)blessed if you do them. 18 (W)I am not speaking about all of you. I know the ones whom I have (X)chosen; but this is happening (Y)so that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘(Z)He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19 From now on (AA)I am telling you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that (AB)I am He. 20 Truly, truly I say to you, (AC)the one who [f]receives anyone I send, [g]receives Me; and the one who [h]receives Me [i]receives Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21 When Jesus had said these things, He (AD)became troubled in spirit, and [j]testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that (AE)one of you will [k]betray Me.” 22 The disciples began looking at one another, (AF)at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. 23 Lying back on (AG)Jesus’ chest was one of His disciples, (AH)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 (AI)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, (AJ)the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After [l]this, (AK)Satan then (AL)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 (AM)kept the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we need (AN)for the feast”; or else, that he was to [m](AO)give something to the poor. 30 So after receiving the piece of bread, he left immediately; and (AP)it was night.

31 Therefore when he had left, Jesus *said, “Now [n]is (AQ)the Son of Man (AR)glorified, and (AS)God [o]is glorified in Him; 32 [p]if God is glorified in Him, (AT)God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately. 33 (AU)Little children, I am still with you (AV)a little longer. (AW)You will look for Me; and just as I said to the [q]Jews, now I also say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34 I am giving you a (AX)new commandment, (AY)that you love one another; (AZ)just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 (BA)By this all people 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, (BB)Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now; but (BC)you will follow later.” 37 Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? (BD)I will lay down my life for You.” 38 Jesus *replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly I say to you, (BE)a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

Jesús lava los pies a Sus discípulos

13 Antes de la fiesta de la Pascua(A), sabiendo Jesús que Su hora había llegado(B) para pasar de este mundo al Padre(C), habiendo amado a los Suyos que estaban en el mundo, los amó hasta el fin[a].

Y durante la cena, como ya el diablo(D) había puesto en el corazón de Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, el que lo entregara(E), Jesús, sabiendo que el Padre había puesto[b] todas las cosas en Sus manos(F), y que de Dios había salido(G) y a Dios volvía, se levantó* de la cena y se quitó* el manto, y tomando una toalla, se la ciñó(H). Luego echó* agua en una vasija, y comenzó a lavar los pies(I) de los discípulos y a secárselos con la toalla que tenía ceñida.

Cuando llegó* a Simón Pedro, este le dijo*: «Señor, ¿Tú me vas a lavar a mí los pies?». Jesús le respondió: «Ahora tú no comprendes lo que Yo hago, pero lo entenderás después(J)». «¡Jamás me lavarás(K) los pies!», le dijo* Pedro. «Si no te lavo, no tienes parte conmigo(L)», le respondió Jesús. Simón Pedro le dijo*: «Señor, entonces no solo los pies, sino también las manos y la cabeza». 10 Jesús le dijo*: «El que se ha bañado no necesita lavarse, excepto los pies, pues[c]está todo limpio; y ustedes están limpios(M), pero no todos».

11 Porque sabía quién lo iba a entregar(N); por eso dijo: «No todos están limpios».

Jesús, ejemplo supremo de humildad

12 Entonces, cuando acabó de lavarles los pies, tomó Su manto(O), y sentándose[d] a la mesa otra vez, les dijo: «¿Saben lo que les he hecho? 13 Ustedes me llaman Maestro(P)y Señor(Q); y tienen razón[e], porque lo soy. 14 Pues si Yo, el Señor(R)y el Maestro, les lavé los pies, ustedes también deben lavarse los pies unos a otros. 15 Porque les he dado ejemplo(S), para que como Yo les he hecho, también ustedes lo hagan.

16 »En verdad les digo, que un siervo no es mayor que su señor(T) , ni un enviado(U) es mayor que el que lo envió. 17 Si saben esto, serán felices si lo practican(V).

18 No hablo de todos ustedes(W) . Yo conozco a los que he escogido(X) ; pero es para que se cumpla la Escritura(Y) : “El que come Mi pan ha levantado contra Mí su talón(Z) ”. 19 Se lo digo desde ahora, antes de que pase, para que cuando suceda, crean(AA)que Yo soy[f](AB). 20 En verdad les digo, que el que recibe al que Yo envíe, me recibe a Mí; y el que me recibe a Mí, recibe a Aquel que me envió(AC)».

Jesús identifica al traidor

21 Habiendo dicho Jesús esto, se angustió en espíritu(AD), y testificó y dijo: «En verdad les digo que uno de ustedes me entregará(AE)». 22 Los discípulos se miraban unos a otros, y estaban perplejos sin saber de quién hablaba(AF).

23 Uno de Sus discípulos, el que Jesús amaba(AG), estaba a la mesa reclinado en el pecho de Jesús(AH). 24 Por eso Simón Pedro le hizo* señas, y le dijo*: «Dinos de quién habla». 25 Entonces él, recostándose de nuevo[g] sobre el pecho de Jesús, le dijo*: «Señor, ¿quién es(AI)?».

26 Entonces Jesús respondió*: «Es aquel a quien Yo le dé el pedazo de pan que voy a mojar». Y después de mojar el pedazo de pan, lo tomó* y se lo dio* a Judas, hijo de Simón Iscariote(AJ). 27 Y después de comer el pan, Satanás(AK) entró en él(AL). Entonces Jesús le dijo*: «Lo que vas a hacer, hazlo pronto».

28 Pero ninguno de los que estaban sentados[h] a la mesa entendió por qué le dijo esto. 29 Porque algunos pensaban que como Judas tenía la bolsa del dinero(AM), Jesús le decía: «Compra lo que necesitamos para la fiesta(AN)», o que diera algo a los pobres(AO). 30 Y Judas[i], después de recibir el bocado, salió inmediatamente; y ya era de noche(AP).

Un mandamiento nuevo

31 Entonces, cuando salió, Jesús dijo*: «Ahora es[j]glorificado(AQ)el Hijo del Hombre(AR), y Dios es glorificado en Él(AS). 32 Si Dios es glorificado en Él[k], Dios también lo glorificará en Él mismo(AT), y lo glorificará enseguida. 33 Hijitos(AU), estaré con ustedes un poco más de tiempo(AV). Me buscarán, y como dije a los judíos, ahora también les digo a ustedes: “adonde Yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir(AW)”.

34 »Un mandamiento nuevo les doy(AX) : “que se amen los unos a los otros(AY) ”; que como Yo los he amado(AZ) , así también se amen los unos a los otros. 35 En esto conocerán todos que son Mis discípulos, si se tienen amor los unos a los otros(BA)».

Jesús predice la negación de Pedro

36 «Señor, ¿adónde vas?», le preguntó* Simón Pedro. Jesús respondió: «Adonde Yo voy, tú no me puedes seguir(BB)ahora, pero me seguirás después(BC)». 37 Pedro le dijo*: «Señor, ¿por qué no te puedo seguir ahora mismo? ¡(BD)Yo daré mi vida por Ti!». 38 Jesús le respondió*: «¿Tu vida darás por Mí? En verdad te digo, que no cantará el gallo sin que antes me hayas negado tres veces(BE).

耶穌為門徒洗腳

13 逾越節之前,耶穌知道自己快要離開世界回到父那裡了。祂一直愛世上屬自己的人,並且愛他們到底。 吃晚飯的時候,魔鬼已經把出賣耶穌的念頭放在加略人西門的兒子猶大的心裡。 耶穌知道父將一切交給了祂,也知道自己從上帝那裡來、要回到上帝那裡, 就離席站起來,脫了外衣,把毛巾束在腰間, 然後倒了一盆水為門徒洗腳,用束在腰間的毛巾擦乾。 輪到西門·彼得的時候,他說:「主啊!你要洗我的腳嗎?」

耶穌回答說:「我這樣做,你現在雖然不明白,將來一定會明白。」

彼得說:「你絕對不可以洗我的腳。」

耶穌說:「如果我不洗你的腳,你就和我沒有關係了。」

西門·彼得說:「主啊,不只我的腳,連我的手和頭也幫我洗吧。」

10 耶穌說:「洗過澡的人全身是乾淨的,只要洗洗腳就好了。你們是乾淨的,但不是每一個都乾淨。」

11 因為耶穌知道誰要出賣祂,所以說:「你們不是每一個都乾淨。」

12 耶穌給門徒洗完了腳,便穿上外衣再次坐下來,然後問道:「我為你們做的,你們明白嗎? 13 你們稱呼我『老師』,也稱呼我『主』,你們稱呼得對,因為我是。 14 我是你們的老師又是你們的主,尚且給你們洗腳,你們更應當彼此洗腳。 15 我給你們立了一個榜樣,好讓你們效法我。

16 「我實實在在地告訴你們,奴僕不能大過主人,受差遣的也不能大過差遣他的人。 17 既然你們明白這個道理,如果去實踐,就有福了。 18 我這話不是對你們每一個人說的,我知道我揀選了誰,但這是為了要應驗聖經上的話,『吃我飯的人用腳踢我』[a] 19 我在事情還沒有發生之前,預先告訴你們,等事情發生以後,你們就會相信我是基督。 20 我實實在在地告訴你們,人若接待我所差遣的,就是接待我;接待我,就是接待差我來的那位。」

預言猶大賣主

21 說完這番話,耶穌心裡憂傷,便宣佈說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,你們中間有一個人要出賣我。」 22 門徒面面相覷,不知道耶穌指的是誰。 23-24 西門·彼得向耶穌所愛的那個門徒點頭示意,讓他問耶穌到底是誰要出賣祂。那門徒坐在耶穌旁邊, 25 便順勢靠過去問耶穌:「主啊,是誰呢?」

26 耶穌回答說:「我蘸一點餅給誰,就是誰。」耶穌就蘸了一點餅,遞給加略人西門的兒子猶大。 27 猶大吃了以後,撒旦就進了他的心。耶穌對他說:「你要做的事,趕快去做吧!」 28 同桌吃飯的人沒有人明白耶穌這話的意思。 29 因為猶大是管錢的,有人以為耶穌是叫他去買過節的用品,或者去賙濟窮人。 30 猶大吃過那塊餅後,立刻出去了。那時候是晚上。

新命令

31 猶大出去以後,耶穌就說:「現在人子得到榮耀了,上帝在人子身上也得了榮耀。 32 上帝既然在人子身上得了榮耀,也要讓人子在祂身上得榮耀,並且馬上要使人子得榮耀。 33 孩子們,我與你們同在的時間不多了,以後你們要找我,但我去的地方,你們不能去。這句話我以前對猶太人說過,現在也照樣告訴你們。 34 我賜給你們一條新命令——你們要彼此相愛。我怎樣愛你們,你們也要怎樣彼此相愛。 35 你們如果彼此相愛,世人就會認出你們是我的門徒。」

預言彼得不認主

36 西門·彼得問耶穌:「主啊,你要到哪裡去?」

耶穌回答說:「我要去的地方,你現在不能跟我去,但將來必定跟我去。」

37 彼得說:「主啊!為什麼我現在不能跟你去呢?就是為你死,我也願意!」

38 耶穌說:「你真的願意為我死嗎?我實實在在地告訴你,雞叫以前,你會三次不認我。」

  1. 13·18 參見詩篇41·9

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.
