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.

So he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

“You do not realise now what I am doing,” replied Jesus, “but later on you will understand.”

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.”

“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!”

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.

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. 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. Tumayo si Jesus habang naghahapunan sila. Hinubad niya ang kanyang damit-panlabas at nagbigkis ng tuwalya sa baywang niya. Pagkatapos, nagbuhos siya ng tubig sa isang planggana, at sinimulang hugasan ang paa ng mga tagasunod niya at pinunasan ng tuwalyang nakabigkis sa kanya. Paglapit niya kay Simon Pedro, sinabi nito, “Panginoon, huhugasan nʼyo po ba ang mga paa ko?” Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi mo naiintindihan ang ginagawa ko ngayon, pero maiintindihan mo rin sa bandang huli.” 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.” 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.”

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)

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet

13 Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end.[a] It was time for supper, and the devil had already prompted Judas,[b] son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.

When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”

“No,” Peter protested, “you will never ever wash my feet!”

Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”

Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”

10 Jesus replied, “A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet,[c] to be entirely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? 13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. 15 I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. 16 I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message. 17 Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

18 “I am not saying these things to all of you; I know the ones I have chosen. But this fulfills the Scripture that says, ‘The one who eats my food has turned against me.’[d] 19 I tell you this beforehand, so that when it happens you will believe that I am the Messiah.[e] 20 I tell you the truth, anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who sent me.”

21 Now Jesus was deeply troubled,[f] and he exclaimed, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me!”

22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he could mean. 23 The disciple Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table.[g] 24 Simon Peter motioned to him to ask, “Who’s he talking about?” 25 So that disciple leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus responded, “It is the one to whom I give the bread I dip in the bowl.” And when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. 27 When Judas had eaten the bread, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus told him, “Hurry and do what you’re going to do.” 28 None of the others at the table knew what Jesus meant. 29 Since Judas was their treasurer, some thought Jesus was telling him to go and pay for the food or to give some money to the poor. 30 So Judas left at once, going out into the night.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 As soon as Judas left the room, Jesus said, “The time has come for the Son of Man[h] to enter into his glory, and God will be glorified because of him. 32 And since God receives glory because of the Son,[i] he will give his own glory to the Son, and he will do so at once. 33 Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can’t come where I am going. 34 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. 35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

36 Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?”

And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with me now, but you will follow me later.”

37 “But why can’t I come now, Lord?” he asked. “I’m ready to die for you.”

38 Jesus answered, “Die for me? I tell you the truth, Peter—before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.
