John 13
J.B. Phillips New Testament
Jesus teaches his disciples humility
13 1-5 Before the festival of the Passover began, Jesus realised that the time had come for him to leave this world and return to the Father. He had loved those who were his own in this world and he loved them to the end. By supper-time, the devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus in the mind of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son. Jesus, with the full knowledge that the Father had put everything into his hands and that he had come from God and was going to God, rose from the supper-table, took off his outer clothes, picked up a towel and fastened it round his waist. Then he poured water into the basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel around his waist.
6 So he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 “You do not realise now what I am doing,” replied Jesus, “but later on you will understand.”
8 Then Peter said to him, “You must never wash my feet!” “Unless you let me wash you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “you cannot share my lot.”
9 “Then,” returned Simon Peter, “please—not just my feet but my hands and my face as well!”
10 “The man who has bathed,” returned Jesus, “only needs to wash his feet to be clean all over. And you are clean—though not all of you.”
11 (For Jesus knew his betrayer and that is why he said, “though not all of you”.)
12-17 When Jesus had washed their feet and put on his clothes, he sat down and spoke to them, “Do you realise what I have just done to you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘Lord’ and you are quite right, for I am your teacher and your Lord. But if I, your teacher and Lord, have washed your feet, you must be ready to wash one another’s feet. I have given you this as an example so that you may do as I have done. Believe me, the servant is not greater than his master and the messenger is not greater than the man who sent him. Once you have realised these things, you will find your happiness in doing them.
Jesus foretells his betrayal
18 “I am not speaking about all of you—I know the men I have chosen. But let this scripture be fulfilled—‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me’.
19-20 From now onwards, I shall tell you about things before they happen, so that when they do happen, you may believe that I am the one I claim to be. I tell you truly that anyone who accepts my messenger will be accepting me, and anyone who accepts me will be accepting the one who sent me.”
21 After Jesus had said this, he was clearly in anguish of soul, and he added solemnly, “I tell you plainly, one of you is going to betray me.”
22-24 At this the disciples stared at each other, completely mystified as to whom he could mean. And it happened that one of them who Jesus loved, was sitting very close to him. So Simon Peter nodded to this man and said, “Tell us who he means.”
25 He simply leaned forward on Jesus’ shoulder, and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
26-27 And Jesus answered, “It is the one I am going to give this piece of bread to, after I have dipped it in the dish.” Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it in the dish and gave it to Simon’s son, Judas Iscariot. After he had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered his heart. Then Jesus said to him, “Be quick about your business!”
28-30 No one else at table knew what he meant in telling him this. Indeed, some of them thought that, since Judas had charge of the purse, Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival, or that he should give something to the poor. So Judas took the piece of bread and went out quickly—into the night.
31-35 When he had gone, Jesus spoke, “Now comes the glory of the Son of Man, and the glory of God in him! If God is glorified through him then God will glorify the Son of Man—and that without delay. Oh, my children, I am with you such a short time! You will look for me and I have to tell you as I told the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot follow.’ Now I am giving you a new command—love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you must love one another. This is how all men will know that you are my disciples, because you have such love for one another.”
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” “I am going,” replied Jesus, “where you cannot follow now, though you will follow me later.”
37 “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? said Peter. “I would lay down my life for you!”
38 “Would you lay down your life for me?” replied Jesus. “Believe me, you will disown me three times before the cock crows!”
Juan 13
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Hinugasan ni Jesus ang Paa ng mga Tagasunod Niya
13 Bago sumapit ang Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel, alam ni Jesus na dumating na ang panahon ng pag-alis niya sa mundong ito upang bumalik sa Ama. Mahal na mahal niya ang kanyang mga tagasunod dito sa mundo, at ipinakita niya ang kanyang pagmamahal sa kanila hanggang sa katapusan.
2 Nang gabing iyon, naghapunan si Jesus kasama ang mga tagasunod niya. Inudyukan na ni Satanas si Judas Iscariote na anak ni Simon na traydurin si Jesus. 3 Alam ni Jesus na ang lahat ng kapangyarihan ay ibinigay sa kanya ng Ama. At alam din niyang galing siya sa Dios at babalik din sa Dios. 4 Tumayo si Jesus habang naghahapunan sila. Hinubad niya ang kanyang damit-panlabas at nagbigkis ng tuwalya sa baywang niya. 5 Pagkatapos, nagbuhos siya ng tubig sa isang planggana, at sinimulang hugasan ang paa ng mga tagasunod niya at pinunasan ng tuwalyang nakabigkis sa kanya. 6 Paglapit niya kay Simon Pedro, sinabi nito, “Panginoon, huhugasan nʼyo po ba ang mga paa ko?” 7 Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi mo naiintindihan ang ginagawa ko ngayon, pero maiintindihan mo rin sa bandang huli.” 8 Sinabi ni Pedro sa kanya, “Hindi pwedeng kayo ang maghugas ng mga paa ko.” Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung ayaw mong hugasan ko ang paa mo, wala kang kaugnayan sa akin.” 9 Kaya sinabi ni Simon Pedro, “Kung ganoon Panginoon, hindi lang po ang mga paa ko ang hugasan nʼyo kundi pati na rin ang mga kamay at ulo ko!” 10 Pero sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Ang naligo na ay malinis na ang buong katawan, kaya hindi na siya kailangang hugasan pa, maliban sa mga paa niya. Malinis na nga kayo, pero hindi kayong lahat.” 11 (Sinabi ni Jesus na hindi lahat sila ay malinis dahil alam niya kung sino ang magtatraydor sa kanya.)
12 Nang mahugasan na ni Jesus ang mga paa nila, muli niyang isinuot ang kanyang damit-panlabas at bumalik sa hapag-kainan. Pagkatapos, tinanong niya sila, “Naintindihan nʼyo ba ang ginawa ko sa inyo? 13 Tinatawag nʼyo akong ‘Guro’ at ‘Panginoon’, at tama kayo dahil iyan nga ang totoo. 14 Kung ako na Guro at Panginoon ninyo ay hinugasan ang inyong mga paa, dapat ay ganoon din ang gawin ninyo sa isaʼt isa. 15 Ginawa ko ito bilang halimbawa na dapat ninyong tularan. Kaya gawin din ninyo ang ginawa ko sa inyo. 16 Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, walang alipin na mas higit sa kanyang amo; at wala ring isinugo na mas higit sa nagsugo sa kanya. 17 Ngayong alam nʼyo na ang mga bagay na ito, mapalad kayo kung gagawin nʼyo ang mga ito.
18 “Hindi ko sinasabing mapalad kayong lahat, dahil kilala ko ang mga pinili ko. Pero kailangang matupad ang sinasabi sa Kasulatan na ‘Trinaydor ako ng nakisalo sa akin sa pagkain.’[a] 19 Sinasabi ko ito sa inyo bago pa man mangyari, upang kapag nangyari na ay maniwala kayo na ako nga ang Cristo. 20 Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, ang tumatanggap sa mga taong isinugo ko ay tumatanggap sa akin, at ang tumatanggap sa akin ay tumatanggap sa nagsugo sa akin.”
Inihayag ni Jesus na May Magtatraydor sa Kanya(A)
21 Pagkasabi nito ni Jesus, labis siyang nabagabag. Sinabi niya, “Ang totoo, tatraydurin ako ng isa sa inyo.” 22 Nagtinginan ang mga tagasunod niya na naguguluhan kung sino ang tinutukoy niya. 23 Nakasandal kay Jesus ang tagasunod na minamahal niya. 24 Kaya sinenyasan siya ni Simon Pedro na tanungin si Jesus kung sino ang tinutukoy nito. 25 Kaya habang nakasandal siya kay Jesus, nagtanong siya, “Panginoon, sino po ang tinutukoy ninyo?” 26 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung sino ang bibigyan ko ng tinapay na isinawsaw ko, siya iyon.” Kaya kumuha si Jesus ng tinapay at matapos isawsaw ay ibinigay kay Judas na anak ni Simon Iscariote. 27 Nang matanggap ni Judas ang tinapay, pumasok sa kanya si Satanas. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Gawin mo na agad ang gagawin mo.” 28 Hindi naintindihan ng mga kasalo sa hapunan kung bakit sinabi iyon ni Jesus. 29 Ang akala ng iba, inutusan lang ni Jesus si Judas na bumili ng mga kakailanganin sa pista o kayaʼy magbigay ng limos sa mga mahihirap, dahil siya ang tagapag-ingat ng pera nila. 30 Pagkakain ni Judas ng tinapay, agad siyang umalis. Gabi na noon.
Ang Bagong Utos
31 Nang makaalis na si Judas, sinabi ni Jesus, “Ako na Anak ng Tao ay pararangalan na, at sa pamamagitan koʼy pararangalan din ang Dios. 32 At kung sa pamamagitan koʼy pararangalan ang Dios, ihahayag din ng Dios ang aking karangalan, at gagawin niya ito kaagad. 33 Mga anak, sandali na lang ninyo akong makakasama. Hahanapin ninyo ako, pero gaya ng sinabi ko sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio, hindi kayo makakapunta sa pupuntahan ko. 34 Kaya isang bagong utos ang ibinibigay ko sa inyo: Magmahalan kayo. Kung paano ko kayo minamahal, ganoon din dapat ang pagmamahal nʼyo sa isaʼt isa. 35 Kung nagmamahalan kayo, malalaman ng lahat ng tao na mga tagasunod ko kayo.”
Sinabi ni Jesus na Ikakaila Siya ni Pedro(B)
36 Nagtanong si Simon Pedro kay Jesus, “Panginoon, saan po kayo pupunta?” Sumagot si Jesus, “Sa ngayon ay hindi ka makakasama sa pupuntahan ko, pero susunod ka rin doon balang araw.” 37 Nagtanong pa si Pedro, “Panginoon, bakit hindi ako maaaring sumama sa inyo ngayon? Handa naman akong mamatay para sa inyo.” 38 Sumagot si Jesus, “Talaga bang handa kang mamatay para sa akin? Sinasabi ko sa iyo ang totoo, bago tumilaok ang manok, tatlong beses mong ikakaila na kilala mo ako.”
