Juan 13
Nueva Biblia Viva
Jesús les lava los pies a sus discípulos
13 La fiesta de la Pascua se acercaba. Jesús sabía que había llegado la hora de dejar este mundo para reunirse con el Padre. Él había amado a los suyos que estaban en el mundo, y los amó hasta el fin. 2 Antes de llegar la hora de la cena, el diablo ya había hecho que Judas Iscariote se decidiera a traicionar a Jesús. 3 Jesús sabía que el Padre le había dado autoridad sobre todas las cosas, y que él había venido de Dios y a Dios iba a regresar, 4 así que se levantó de la mesa, se quitó el manto y se ató una toalla a la cintura. 5 Luego echó agua en un recipiente y se puso a lavarles los pies a sus discípulos y a secárselos con la toalla. 6 Cuando llegó a Simón Pedro, este le dijo:
―Señor, ¿vas tú a lavarme los pies a mí?
7 Jesús le respondió:
―Ahora no entiendes por qué lo hago, pero más tarde lo entenderás.
8 Pedro dijo:
―¡No! ¡Jamás dejaré que me laves los pies!
Jesús le respondió:
―Si no te los lavo, no serás uno de los míos.
9 Simón Pedro le dijo:
―¡Señor, entonces no sólo los pies sino también las manos y la cabeza!
10 Jesús le contestó:
―El que está recién bañado no necesita lavarse más que los pies, pues está completamente limpio. Y ustedes están limpios, aunque no todos.
11 Jesús sabía quién lo iba a traicionar, y por eso dijo que no todos estaban limpios.
12 Después de lavarles los pies, se puso el manto y otra vez se sentó. Entonces les preguntó:
―¿Entienden ustedes lo que les he hecho? 13 Ustedes me llaman Maestro y Señor, y dicen la verdad porque lo soy. 14 Pues si yo, el Señor y el Maestro, les he lavado los pies, también ustedes deben lavarse los pies unos a otros. 15 Yo les he dado el ejemplo, para que hagan lo mismo que yo he hecho con ustedes. 16 Les aseguro que ningún sirviente es más que su amo, y ningún mensajero es más que el que lo envió. 17 Si entienden esto y lo hacen serán dichosos.
Jesús predice la traición de Judas
18 »No estoy hablando de todos ustedes; yo sé a quiénes he escogido. Pero esto es para que se cumpla la Escritura que dice: “El que come conmigo se ha puesto en contra mía”.
19 »Les digo esto ahora, antes que suceda, para que cuando ocurra, ustedes crean que yo soy. 20 Les aseguro que el que recibe al que yo envío me recibe a mí, y el que me recibe a mí, recibe al que me envió».
21 Después de decir esto, Jesús se llenó de angustia y dijo:
―Les aseguro que uno de ustedes me va a traicionar.
22 Los discípulos se miraban unos a otros, sin saber de quién estaba hablando. 23 Uno de ellos, al que Jesús quería mucho, estaba junto a él. 24 Simón Pedro le hizo señas a ese discípulo para que le preguntara de quién hablaba. 25 Él se acercó más a Jesús y le preguntó:
―Señor, ¿quién es?
26 Jesús le contestó:
―Al que yo le dé este pedazo de pan que voy a mojar en el plato.
Luego, mojó el pedazo de pan y se lo dio a Judas Iscariote, el hijo de Simón. 27 En el momento en que Judas tomó el pan, Satanás entró en él.
Jesús le dijo:
―Lo que vas a hacer, apúrate a hacerlo.
28 Ninguno de los que estaban sentados a la mesa entendió por qué Jesús le dijo eso. 29 Como Judas era el encargado de la bolsa del dinero, algunos pensaron que Jesús le estaba pidiendo que comprara lo necesario para la fiesta, o que diera algo a los pobres.
30 Cuando Judas tomó el pan, salió de allí sin pérdida de tiempo. Ya era de noche.
Jesús predice la negación de Pedro
31 Después que Judas salió, Jesús les dijo:
―Ahora el Hijo del hombre es glorificado, y por ello también a Dios lo glorifican. 32 Si a Dios lo glorifican cuando glorifican al Hijo, también Dios hará que glorifiquen al Hijo. Y Dios hará esto muy pronto.
33 »Mis queridos hijos, ya me queda poco tiempo con ustedes, y lo que les dije a los judíos ahora se los digo a ustedes. Me buscarán, pero a donde yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir.
34 »Les doy este mandamiento nuevo: que se amen unos a otros. Así como yo los amo, ustedes deben amarse unos a otros. 35 Si se aman unos a otros, todos se darán cuenta de que son mis discípulos».
36 Simón Pedro preguntó:
―Señor, ¿y a dónde vas?
Jesús respondió:
―A donde yo voy, no puedes seguirme ahora, pero después me seguirás.
37 Pedro insistió:
―Señor, ¿por qué no puedo seguirte ahora? Por ti estoy dispuesto a dar mi vida.
38 Jesús le respondió:
―¿Estás dispuesto a dar tu vida por mí? ¡Te aseguro que antes que el gallo cante, me negarás tres veces!
John 13
1599 Geneva Bible
13 4 Christ rising from supper, 14 to command humility to his Apostles, washeth their feet. 21 He noteth the traitor Judas, 26 with an evident token. 34 He commendeth charity. 37, 38 He foretelleth Peter of his denial.
1 Now (A)[a]before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come, that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, forasmuch as he loved his [b]own which were in the world, unto the end he loved them.
2 And when supper was done (and that the devil had now put in the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him.)
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his [c]hands, and that he was come forth from God, and went to God,
4 He [d]riseth from Supper, and layeth aside his upper garments, and took a towel, and girded himself.
5 After that, he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel, wherewith he was girded.
6 Then came he to Simon Peter, who said to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do, thou knowest not now: but thou shalt know it hereafter.
8 Peter said unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt have [e]no part with me.
9 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.
10 Jesus said to him, He that is washed, needeth not, save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are (B)clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him: therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12 ¶ So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me Master, and Lord, and ye say well: for so am I.
14 If I then your Lord, and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do, even as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily I say unto you, (C)The servant is not greater than his master, neither the [f]ambassador greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
18 ¶ [g]I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but it is that the Scripture might be fulfilled, (D)He that eateth bread with me, hath lift up his heel against me.
19 From henceforth tell I you before it come, that when it is come to pass, ye might believe that I am he.
20 (E)Verily, verily I say unto you, If I send any, he that receiveth him, receiveth me, and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
21 When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in the Spirit, and [h]testified, and said, Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 (F)Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was one of his disciples, which [i]leaned on Jesus’ bosom, whom Jesus loved.
24 To him beckoned therefore Simon Peter, that he should ask who it was of whom he spake.
25 He then as he leaned on Jesus’ breast, said unto him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it: and he wet a sop, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son.
27 And after the sop, Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28 But none of them that were at table, knew, for what cause he spake it unto him.
29 For some of them thought because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast: or that he should give something to the poor.
30 As soon then as he had received the sop, he went immediately out, and it was night.
31 ¶ [j]When he was gone out, Jesus said, [k]Now is the son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
33 [l]Little children, yet a little while am I with you: ye shall seek me, but as I said unto the (G)Jews, Whither I go, can ye not come: also to you say I now.
34 (H)A new commandment give I unto you, that ye love one another: as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know, that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36 [m]Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now: but thou shalt follow me afterward.
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why can I not follow thee now? (I)I will lay down my life for thy sake.
38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou have denied me thrice.
Footnotes
- John 13:1 Christ no less certain of the victory, than of the combat which was at hand, using the sign of washing the feet, doth partly thereby give an example of singular modesty, and his great love toward his Apostles in this notable act, being like very shortly to depart from them: and partly witnesseth unto them, that it is he only which washeth away the filth of his people, and that by little and little, in their time and season.
