John 13
Worldwide English (New Testament)
13 Before the Passover Feast had started, Jesus saw that the time had come for him to leave this world. The time had come for him to go back to his Father. He loved his own people who were in the world. And he loved them the same way right to the end.
2 He and his disciples were eating together. The devil had already put it into Judas' heart to give Jesus over to people who hated him. (Judas was the son of Simon Iscariot.)
3 Jesus knew that his Father had put everything into his hands. He knew he had come from God. He knew he was going back to God.
4 Jesus stood up where he had been eating. He took off his outer clothing. And he took a towel and tied it around him.
5 Then he poured water into a pan and began to wash the disciples' feet. He wiped their feet with the towel he had tied around him.
6 He came to Simon Peter. Peter said to him, `Lord, are you going to wash my feet?'
7 Jesus answered him, `You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand it later.'
8 Peter said to him, `You will never wash my feet!' Jesus answered him, `If I do not wash you, then you do not belong to me.'
9 Simon Peter said to him, `Lord, wash my feet, and my hands, and my head also!'
10 Jesus said, `A person who has bathed himself needs to wash his feet only. He is all clean. You are clean, but not all of you.'
11 Jesus knew who was going to give him over to people who hated him. That is why he said, `You are not all clean.'
12 After Jesus had finished washing their feet, he took his gown and sat down again. `Do you understand what I have done to you?' he asked.
13 `You call me Master and Lord. What you say is right. I am your Master and Lord.
14 I am your Lord and Master and have washed your feet. If I do that, then you should wash one another's feet.
15 I have shown you what to do. Now you do as I have done.
16 I tell you the truth. The servant is not better than his master. The one who is sent is not better than the one who sent him.
17 Do you understand what I have told you? If you do, you will have much happiness for doing it.
18 I am not talking about all of you but I know the people I have chosen. So God's word comes true. The holy writings say, "He who is eating my bread has turned against me."
19 `I am telling you this now before it happens. So when it happens you will believe who I am.
20 I tell you the truth. The person who receives the one I send, receives me. He that receives me, receives the one who sent me.'
21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in his heart. He said, `I tell you the truth. One of you will give me over to people who hate me.'
22 The disciples looked at one another. They did not know which one of them Jesus was talking about.
23 The disciple Jesus loved was at his right side.
24 Simon Peter nodded to that disciple. He said, `Tell us who he is talking about.'
25 He who was at Jesus' right side said to Jesus, `Lord, who is it?'
26 Jesus answered, `I will put a piece of bread in the dish. Then I will give it to that one.' He put in the bread, then he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 Right after Jesus had given the bread, Satan came into Judas. Then Jesus said to him, `What you are going to do, do right away.'
28 No one at the table knew why Jesus said, `Do it right away.'
29 Judas had the money bag. Some thought that Jesus was telling him, `Buy what we need for the feast,' or that he wanted Judas to give something to the poor people.
30 Judas went out right after he had taken the bread. It was night.
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, `Now the Son of Man is very great. And he has made God's name great.
32 If he has made God's name great, God also will make him great by his own power. He will do it right away.
33 My children, I am with you for a short time longer. You will look for me. What I said to the Jews I say to you now: "You cannot come to the place where I am going."
34 I give you a new law. That law is, "Love each other." As I have loved you, so you also love each other.
35 This is how all people will know that you are my disciples.'
36 Simon Peter said to him, `Lord, where are you going?' Jesus answered him, `You cannot go with me where I am going now. Later on you will go with me.'
37 Peter said to him, `Lord, why can I not go with you now? I am willing to die for you.'
38 Jesus answered him, `Will you die for me? I tell you the truth. Before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me.'

Albanian Bible
13 Por përpara festës së Pashkës, Jezusi, duke e ditur se kishte ardhur ora e tij të kalojë nga kjo botë tek Ati, duke i dashur të vetët që ishin në botë, i deshi deri në fund.
2 Dhe, kur mbaroi darka, mbasi djalli i kishte shtënë në zemër Judë Iskariotit, birit të Simonit, ta tradhtonte,
3 Jezusi, duke ditur se Ati i kishte dhënë gjithçka në duar, dhe se ai kishte dalë nga Perëndia dhe te Perëndia po kthehej,
4 u ngrit nga darka dhe hoqi rrobat e tij, mori një peshqir dhe u ngjesh.
5 Mbasi hodhi ujë në një legen, filloi të lante këmbët e dishepujve dhe t’ua fshijnte me peshqirin, me të cilin ishte ngjeshur.
6 Erdhi, pra, te Simon Pjetri. Dhe ai i tha: “Zot, ti të m’i lash këmbët mua?.”
7 Jezusi u përgjigj dhe i tha: “Atë që po bëj unë, ti tani nuk e kupton, por do ta kuptosh mbas kësaj.”
8 Pjetri i tha: “Ti kurrë nuk do të m’i lash këmbët.” Jezusi iu përgjigi: “Po nuk të lava, ti nuk do të kesh pjesë me mua.”
9 Simon Pjetri i tha: “Zot, jo vetëm këmbët, por edhe duart dhe kokën.”
10 Jezusi i tha: “Ai që është i larë, s’ka nevojë veçse të lajë këmbët dhe është krejt i pastër; edhe ju jeni të pastër, por jo të gjithë.”
11 Sepse ai e dinte se kush do ta tradhtonte, prandaj tha: “Nuk jeni të gjithë të pastër.”
12 Kështu, mbasi ua lau këmbët, mori përsëri rrobat e tij, zuri vend rishtas në tryezë dhe u tha atyre: “A e kuptoni këtë që ju kam bërë?
13 Ju më quani Mësues dhe Zot, dhe mirë thoni, sepse jam.
14 Në qoftë se unë, Zoti dhe Mësuesi, ju kam larë këmbët, edhe ju duhet t’i lani këmbët njëri-tjetrit.
15 Unë, në fakt, ju kam dhënë shëmbullin që ashtu siç kam bërë unë, bëni edhe ju.
16 Në të vërtetë, në të vërtetë po ju them: Shërbëtori nuk është më i madh se padroni i tij, as i dërguari më i madh se ai që e ka dërguar.
17 Po t’i dini këto gjëra, të lumur jeni ju nëse do t’i bëni.
18 Nuk po flas për ju të gjithë; unë i njoh ata që kam zgjedhur, por duhet të përmbushet ky Shkrim: "Ai që ha bukën me mua, ka ngritur thembrën kundër meje".
19 Po ju them që tani, para se të ndodhë, që, kur të ketë ndodhur, të besoni se unë jam Krishti.
20 Në të vërtetë, në të vërtetë po ju them: Kush pranon atë që dërgoj unë, më pranon mua; dhe kush më pranon mua, pranon atë që më ka dërguar.”
21 Mbasi i tha këto fjalë, Jezusi, u trondit në frymë, dhe dëshmoi e tha: “Në të vërtetë, në të vërtetë po ju them se një nga ju do të më tradhtojë.”
22 Atëherë dishepujt u panë njëri me tjetrin, por nuk arrinin të kuptonin për kë po fliste.
23 Por një nga dishepujt e tij, të cilin Jezusi e donte, ishte mbështetur te kraharori i Jezusit.
24 Atëherë Simon Pjetri i bëri shenjë të pyeste kush ishte ai për të cilin foli.
25 Dhe ai dishepull, duke u përkulur mbi kraharorin e Jezusit, e pyeti: “Zot, kush është?.”
26 Jezusi u përgjigj: “Éshtë ai të cilit do t’i jap kafshatën, pasi ta kem ngjyer.” Dhe e ngjeu kafshatën e ia dha Judë Iskariotit, birit të Simonit.
27 Dhe pas kafshatës, Satani hyri në të. Atëherë Jezusi i tha: “Ç’ke për të bërë, bëje shpejt!.”
28 Por asnjë nga ata që ishin në tryezë nuk e mori vesh pse ai e tha këtë.
29 Disa në fakt mendonin se, duke qenë se Juda e mbante qesen, Jezusi i kishte thënë: “Bli gjërat që na duhen për festën”; ose që t’u jepte diçka të varfërve.
30 Ai, pra, mori kafshatën dhe doli menjëherë. Ishte natë.
31 Kur doli ai, Jezusi tha: “Tani Biri i njeriut është përlëvduar dhe Perëndia është përlëvduar në të.
32 Në qoftë se Perëndia është përlëvduar në të, Perëndia do ta përlëvdojë edhe në vetvete dhe do ta përlëvdojë menjëherë.
33 Djema, edhe për pak kohë jam me ju; ju do të më kërkoni, por ashtu siç u kam thënë Judenjve: "Atje ku po shkoj unë ju nuk mund të vini". Kështu tani po ju them edhe juve.
34 Po ju jap një urdhërim të ri: ta doni njëri-tjetrin; sikurse unë ju kam dashur, ashtu edhe ju ta doni njëri-tjetrin.
35 Prej kësaj do t’ju njohin të gjithë që jeni dishepujt e mi, nëse keni dashuri për njëri-tjetrin.”
36 Simon Pjetri i tha: “Zot, ku po shkon?.” Jezusi iu përgjigj: “Atje ku po shkoj unë, ti nuk mund të më ndjekësh tani; por më vonë do të më ndjekësh.”
37 Pjetri i tha: “Zot, pse nuk të ndiqkam dot tani? Unë do të jap jetën time për ty!.”
38 Jezusi iu përgjigj: “Ti do ta japësh jetën tënde për mua? Në të vërtetë, në të vërtetë po të them: gjeli nuk do të këndojë, para se ti të më kesh mohuar tri herë!.”

La Bible du Semeur
Les adieux du maître
Jésus lave les pieds de ses disciples
13 C’était juste avant la fête de la Pâque. Jésus savait que l’heure était venue pour lui de quitter ce monde pour s’en aller auprès du Père. C’est pourquoi il donna aux siens, qu’il aimait et qui étaient dans le monde, une marque suprême de son amour pour eux. 2 C’était au cours du repas. Déjà le diable avait semé dans le cœur de Judas, fils de Simon Iscariot, le projet de trahir son Maître et de le livrer. 3 Jésus savait que le Père avait tout remis entre ses mains, qu’il était venu d’auprès de Dieu et qu’il allait retourner auprès de lui.
4 Il se leva de table pendant le dîner, posa son vêtement et prit une serviette de lin qu’il se noua autour de la taille. 5 Ensuite, il versa de l’eau dans une bassine et commença à laver les pieds de ses disciples, puis à les essuyer avec la serviette qu’il s’était nouée autour de la taille.
6 Quand vint le tour de Simon Pierre, celui-ci protesta : Toi, Seigneur, tu veux me laver les pieds ?
7 Jésus lui répondit : Ce que je fais, tu ne le comprends pas pour l’instant, tu le comprendras plus tard.
8 Mais Pierre lui répliqua : Non ! Tu ne me laveras pas les pieds ! Sûrement pas !
Jésus lui répondit : Si je ne te lave pas, il n’y a plus rien de commun entre toi et moi.
9 – Dans ce cas, lui dit Simon Pierre, ne me lave pas seulement les pieds, mais aussi les mains et la tête.
10 Jésus lui dit : Celui qui s’est baigné est entièrement pur, il lui suffit de se laver les pieds[a]. Or vous, vous êtes purs – mais pas tous.
11 Jésus, en effet, connaissait celui qui allait le livrer. Voilà pourquoi il avait ajouté : « Vous n’êtes pas tous purs. »
12 Après leur avoir lavé les pieds, il remit son vêtement et se remit à table. Alors il leur dit : Avez-vous compris ce que je viens de vous faire ?
13 Vous m’appelez Maître et Seigneur – et vous avez raison, car je le suis. 14 Si donc moi, le Seigneur et le Maître, je vous ai lavé les pieds, vous devez, vous aussi, vous laver les pieds les uns aux autres. 15 Je viens de vous donner un exemple, pour qu’à votre tour vous agissiez comme j’ai agi envers vous. 16 Vraiment, je vous l’assure, un serviteur n’est jamais supérieur à son maître, ni un messager plus grand que celui qui l’envoie. 17 Si vous savez ces choses, vous êtes heureux à condition de les mettre en pratique.
18 Je ne parle pas de vous tous : je sais très bien quels sont ceux que j’ai choisis – mais il faut que l’Ecriture s’accomplisse : Celui qui partage mon pain se tourne contre moi[b]. 19 Je vous le dis dès maintenant, avant que cela se produise, pour qu’au moment où cela arrivera, vous croyiez que moi, je suis[c]. 20 Vraiment, je vous l’assure : qui reçoit celui que j’envoie me reçoit moi-même, et qui me reçoit, reçoit celui qui m’a envoyé.
Le traître(A)
21 Après avoir dit cela, Jésus fut troublé intérieurement et il déclara solennellement : Oui, vraiment, je vous l’assure : l’un de vous me trahira.
22 Les disciples, déconcertés, se regardaient les uns les autres ; ils se demandaient de qui il pouvait bien parler. 23 L’un d’entre eux, le disciple que Jésus aimait, se trouvait à table juste à côté de Jésus. 24 Simon Pierre lui fit signe de demander à Jésus de qui il parlait. 25 Et ce disciple, se penchant aussitôt vers Jésus, lui demanda : Seigneur, de qui s’agit-il ?
26 Et Jésus lui répondit : Je vais tremper ce morceau de pain dans le plat. Celui à qui je le donnerai, c’est lui.
Là-dessus, Jésus prit le morceau qu’il avait trempé et le donna à Judas, fils de Simon Iscariot.
27 Dès que Judas eut reçu ce morceau de pain, Satan entra en lui.
Alors Jésus lui dit : Ce que tu fais, fais-le vite.
28 Aucun de ceux qui étaient à table ne comprit pourquoi il lui disait cela. 29 Comme Judas gérait la bourse commune, quelques-uns supposèrent que Jésus le chargeait d’acheter ce qu’il leur fallait pour la fête, ou de donner quelque chose aux pauvres. 30 Dès que Judas eut pris le morceau de pain, il se hâta de sortir. Il faisait nuit.
Le nouveau commandement
31 Quand il fut parti, Jésus dit : Maintenant, la gloire du Fils de l’homme éclate, et Dieu va être glorifié en lui. 32 [Puisque Dieu va être glorifié en lui[d],] Dieu, à son tour, va glorifier le Fils de l’homme en lui-même, et il le fera bientôt. 33 Mes chers enfants, je suis encore avec vous, mais plus pour longtemps. Vous me chercherez ; et ce que j’ai dit à tous, je vous le dis à vous aussi maintenant : vous ne pouvez pas aller là où je vais.
34 Je vous donne un commandement nouveau : Aimez-vous les uns les autres. Oui, comme je vous ai aimés, aimez-vous les uns les autres. 35 A ceci, tous reconnaîtront que vous êtes mes disciples : à l’amour que vous aurez les uns pour les autres.
36 Simon Pierre lui demanda : Seigneur, où vas-tu ?
Jésus lui répondit : Tu ne peux me suivre maintenant là où je vais, mais plus tard tu me suivras.
37 Mais Pierre reprit : Et pourquoi donc, Seigneur, ne puis-je pas te suivre dès maintenant ? Je suis prêt à donner ma vie pour toi !
38 – Tu es prêt à donner ta vie pour moi ? répondit Jésus. Oui, vraiment, je te l’assure : avant que le coq se mette à chanter, tu m’auras renié trois fois.
John 13
New International Version
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.
2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.(D) 3 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; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.(G) 5 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.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”(I)
8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
9 “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)
