⁶⁷ So Jesus said to ^(A)the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” ⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have ^(B)the words of eternal life, ⁶⁹ and ^(C)we have believed, and have come to know, that ^(D)you are ^(E)the Holy One of God.” ⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, ^(F)“Did I not choose you, ^(G)the twelve? And yet one of you is ^(H)a devil.” ⁷¹ He spoke of Judas ^(I)the son of Simon Iscariot, for ^(J)he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

13 Now ^(A)before ^(B)the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that ^(C)his hour had come ^(D)to depart out of this world to the Father, ^(E)having loved ^(F)his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. ² During supper, when ^(G)the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, ³ Jesus, knowing ^(H)that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that ^(I)he had come from God and ^(J)was going back to God, ⁴ rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, ^(K)tied it around his waist. ⁵ Then he ^(L)poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. ⁶ He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” ^7 (M)Jesus answered him, “What I am doing ^(N)you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” ^8 (O)Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, ^(P)“If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” ⁹ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!”

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

^30 (A)And when they had sung a hymn, ^(B)they went out to ^(C)the Mount of Olives. ³¹ Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will ^(D)strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ ³² But after I am raised up, ^(E)I will go before you to Galilee.” ^33 (F)Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” ^34 (G)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, ^(H)before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” ^35 (I)Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

⁷⁴ Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the rooster crowed. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, ^(A)“Before the rooster crows, you will ^(B)deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
