John 13
Christian Standard Bible
Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
13 Before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father.(A) Having loved his own who were in the world,(B) he loved them to the end.
2 Now when it was time for supper, the devil(C) had already put it into the heart of Judas,(D) Simon Iscariot’s son,[a] to betray(E) him. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his hands,(F) that he had come from God,(G) and that he was going back to God.(H) 4 So he got up from supper, laid aside his outer clothing,(I) took a towel, and tied it around himself.(J) 5 Next, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around him.
6 He came to Simon Peter,(K) who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus answered him, “What I’m doing you don’t realize now, but afterward you will understand.”(L)
8 “You will never wash my feet,” Peter said.
Jesus replied, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”
10 “One who has bathed,” Jesus told him, “doesn’t need to wash anything except his feet, but he is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For he knew who would betray him. This is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
The Meaning of Foot Washing
12 When Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer clothing, he reclined again and said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are speaking rightly, since that is what I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.(M) 15 For I have given you an example,(N) that you also should do just as I have done for you.
16 “Truly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master,[b](O) and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.(P)
18 “I’m not speaking about all of you; I know those I have chosen.(Q) But the Scripture(R) must be fulfilled: (S) The one who eats my bread[c] has raised his heel against me.[d](T) 19 I am telling you now before it happens,(U) so that when it does happen you will believe(V) that I am he.(W) 20 Truly I tell you, whoever receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives(X) me receives him who sent me.”
Judas’s Betrayal Predicted
21 When(Y) Jesus had said this, he was troubled in his spirit(Z) and testified,(AA) “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”
22 The disciples started looking at one another—uncertain which one he was speaking about. 23 One of his disciples, the one Jesus loved,(AB) was reclining close beside Jesus.[e] 24 Simon Peter motioned to him to find out who it was he was talking about. 25 So he leaned back against Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus replied, “He’s the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it.”(AC) When he had dipped the bread,(AD) he gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.[f] 27 After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan(AE) entered him. So Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”
28 None of those reclining at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Since Judas(AF) kept the money-bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,”(AG) or that he should give something to the poor. 30 After receiving the piece of bread, he immediately left. And it was night.(AH)
The New Command
31 When(AI) he had left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man(AJ) is glorified, and God is glorified(AK) in him.(AL) 32 If God is glorified in him,[g] God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. 33 Little children, I am with you a little while longer.(AM) You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so now I tell you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’(AN)
34 “I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love(AO) one another.”
Peter’s Denials Predicted
36 “Lord,” Simon Peter said to him, “where are you going?”
Jesus answered, “Where I am going(AP) you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.”
37 “Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life(AQ) for you.”(AR)
38 Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly I tell you, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
13 [a]Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 4 rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel. 5 Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. 6 He came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not know now, but afterward you will understand.” 8 Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part in me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet,[b] but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “You are not all clean.”
12 When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant[c] is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18 I am not speaking of you all; I know whom I have chosen; it is that the scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 I tell you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any one whom I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me.”
Jesus Foretells His Betrayal
21 When Jesus had thus spoken, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22 The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying close to the breast of Jesus; 24 so Simon Peter beckoned to him and said, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.” 25 So lying thus, close to the breast of Jesus, he said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast”; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night.
The New Commandment
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of man glorified, and in him God is glorified; 32 if God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ 34 A new commandment[d] I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward.” 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the cock will not crow, till you have denied me three times.

Johannes 13
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Jesus tvättar lärjungarnas fötter
13 Det var kvällen före påskhögtiden, och Jesus visste att den kommande natten skulle bli hans sista på jorden innan han återvände till Fadern.
2 Redan under kvällsmåltiden hade djävulen intalat Judas Iskariot, Simons son, att det var rätt kväll att fullfölja planerna att förråda Jesus.
3 Jesus visste att Fadern hade gett honom allt och att han hade kommit från Gud och skulle återvända till Gud.
4 Han reste sig nu från bordet, tog av sig manteln och virade en handduk om sig.
5 Sedan hällde han vatten i ett handfat och började tvätta lärjungarnas fötter och torka dem med handduken.
6 När han kom till Petrus sa denne till honom: Herre, inte ska du tvätta våra fötter.
7 Jesus svarade: Du förstår ännu inte vad jag gör, men en dag ska du förstå det.
8 Nej, protesterade Petrus, aldrig någonsin ska du tvätta mina fötter!Men om jag inte gör det så kan du inte vara min lärjunge, svarade Jesus.
9 Då ropade Petrus: Tvätta då inte bara mina fötter, utan också händerna och huvudet.
10 Jesus svarade: Den som har badat behöver bara få sina fötter tvättade för att vara fullständigt ren. Nu är ni rena, men det gäller inte er alla.
11 Jesus visste nämligen vem som skulle förråda honom. Det var det han menade när han sa att de inte alla var rena.
12 När han hade tvättat deras fötter tog han på sig manteln igen och satte sig ner och frågade: Förstår ni vad jag har gjort?
13 Ni kallar mig 'Mästare' och 'Herre
14 Och eftersom jag, Herren och Läraren, har tvättat era fötter, så är ni skyldiga att tvätta varandras fötter.
15 Jag har gett er ett exempel som ni ska följa: Gör som jag har gjort med er.
16 Det är sant att tjänaren inte är större än sin mästare. Inte heller är budbäraren viktigare än den som sände honom.
17 Det ska bli till stor glädje för er om ni förstår detta och praktiserar det.
18 Jag säger inte dessa ord till er alla, men jag vet vilka jag har utvalt. Skriften säger: 'En som äter tillsammans med mig ska förråda mig
19 Jag säger det nu, så att ni när det händer kan tro att jag är den jag är.
20 Det är sant att den som välkomnar den som jag sänder, välkomnar mig. Och att ta emot mig är att ta emot Fadern, som har sänt mig.
Jesus och hans lärjungar äter den sista måltiden
21 I samma ögonblick blev Jesus upprörd i sitt innersta och ropade: Ja, det är sant, en av er kommer att förråda mig!
22 Lärjungarna såg på varandra och undrade vem han kunde mena.
23 Jag satt närmast Jesus vid bordet och eftersom jag var hans närmaste vän, bad
24 Petrus mig fråga honom vem det var som skulle begå denna fruktansvärda handling.
25 Jag vände mig därför till Jesus och frågade: Herre, vem är det?
26 Han svarade: Det är den som jag ger det här brödstycket som jag nu doppar i skålen.Och när han hade gjort det gav han det till Judas, Simon Iskariots son.
27 Och från det ögonblicket hade Satan Judas helt i sitt våld. Då sa Jesus till honom: Gör det som du har i sinnet, men gör det snart.
28 Ingen av de andra vid bordet förstod vad Jesus menade.
29 Några trodde att han bad honom att gå ut och köpa det man behövde för högtiden eller att ge något till de fattiga, eftersom Judas hade hand om pengarna.
30 Judas reste sig omedelbart och gick ut i natten.
Jesus förutsäger Petrus förnekelse
31 Så snart Judas hade gått sa Jesus: Nu har stunden kommit då Gud ska visa vem Människosonen verkligen är, och därigenom ska Guds härlighet bli synlig.
32 För Gud ska ge honom sin egen härlighet, och det kommer att ske mycket snart.
33 Mina kära barn, det dröjer bara några korta ögonblick innan jag måste lämna er och gå bort! Ni ska söka efter mig, men det som jag redan har sagt till de judiska ledarna, säger jag nu till er: Dit jag går kan ni inte komma.
34 Därför ger jag er nu ett nytt bud: älska varandra lika mycket som jag har älskat er.
35 Er kärlek till varandra ska visa världen att ni är mina lärjungar.
36 Petrus sa: Herre, vart går du? Jesus svarade: Ni kan inte gå med mig nu, men ni ska följa efter senare.
37 Men varför kan jag inte komma med nu? undrade han. Jag är beredd att dö för dig.
38 Jesus svarade: Dö för mig? Nej, innan tuppen gal i morgon bitti ska du tre gånger neka till att du överhuvud taget känner mig!
