Juan 13
Nueva Versión Internacional
Jesús lava los pies a sus discípulos
13 Se acercaba la fiesta de la Pascua. Jesús sabía que le había llegado la hora de abandonar este mundo para volver al Padre. Y habiendo amado a los suyos que estaban en el mundo, los amó hasta el fin.[a]
2 Llegó la hora de la cena. El diablo ya había incitado a Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, para que traicionara a Jesús. 3 Sabía Jesús que el Padre había puesto todas las cosas bajo su dominio, y que había salido de Dios y a él volvía; 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 comenzó a lavarles los pies a sus discípulos y a secárselos con la toalla que llevaba a la cintura.
6 Cuando llegó a Simón Pedro, este dijo:
—¿Y tú, Señor, me vas a lavar los pies a mí?
7 —Ahora no entiendes lo que estoy haciendo —respondió Jesús—, pero lo entenderás más tarde.
8 —¡No! —protestó Pedro—. ¡Jamás me lavarás los pies!
Jesús contestó:
—Si no te los lavo,[b] no tendrás parte conmigo.
9 Simón Pedro dijo:
—Entonces, Señor, ¡no solo los pies, sino también las manos y la cabeza!
10 —El que ya se ha bañado no necesita lavarse más que los pies —le contestó Jesús—; pues ya todo su cuerpo está limpio. Y ustedes ya están limpios, aunque no todos.
11 Jesús sabía quién lo iba a traicionar y por eso dijo que no todos estaban limpios.
12 Cuando terminó de lavarles los pies, se puso el manto y volvió a su lugar. Entonces les dijo:
—¿Entienden lo que he hecho con ustedes? 13 Ustedes me llaman Maestro y Señor y dicen bien, porque lo soy. 14 Pues, si yo, el Señor y el Maestro, les he lavado los pies, también ustedes deben lavarse los pies los unos a los otros. 15 Les he puesto el ejemplo, para que hagan lo mismo que yo he hecho con ustedes. 16 Les aseguro que ningún siervo es más que su amo y ningún mensajero es más que el que lo envió. 17 ¿Entienden esto? Dichosos serán si lo ponen en práctica.
Jesús predice la traición de Judas
18 »No me refiero a todos ustedes; yo sé a quiénes he escogido. Pero esto es para que se cumpla la Escritura: “El que comparte el pan conmigo, se ha vuelto contra mí”.[c]
19 »Digo esto ahora, antes de que suceda, para que cuando suceda 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 Dicho esto, Jesús se angustió profundamente y afirmó:
—Les aseguro que uno de ustedes me va a traicionar.
22 Los discípulos se miraban unos a otros sin saber a cuál de ellos se refería. 23 Uno de ellos, el discípulo a quien Jesús amaba, estaba reclinado sobre él. 24 Simón Pedro hizo señas a ese discípulo y le dijo:
—Pregúntale a quién se refiere.
25 —Señor, ¿quién es? —preguntó él, reclinándose sobre Jesús.
26 —Aquel a quien yo le dé este pedazo de pan que voy a mojar en el plato —le contestó Jesús.
Acto seguido, mojó el pedazo de pan y se lo dio a Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón. 27 Tan pronto como Judas tomó el pan, Satanás entró en él.
—Lo que vas a hacer, hazlo pronto —le dijo Jesús.
28 Ninguno de los que estaban a la mesa entendió por qué Jesús dijo eso. 29 Como Judas era el encargado del dinero, algunos pensaron que Jesús le estaba diciendo que comprara lo necesario para la fiesta o que diera algo a los pobres. 30 En cuanto Judas tomó el pan, salió de allí. Ya era de noche.
Jesús predice la negación de Pedro
31 Cuando Judas hubo salido, Jesús dijo:
—Ahora es glorificado el Hijo del hombre y Dios es glorificado en él. 32 Si Dios es glorificado en él,[d] Dios glorificará al Hijo en sí mismo y lo hará muy pronto.
33 »Mis queridos hijos, poco tiempo me queda para estar con ustedes. Me buscarán y lo que antes dije a los judíos, ahora se lo digo a ustedes: Adonde yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir.
34 »Este mandamiento nuevo les doy: que se amen los unos a los otros. Así como yo los he amado, también ustedes deben amarse los unos a los otros. 35 De este modo todos sabrán que son mis discípulos, si se aman los unos a los otros.
36 —¿Y a dónde vas, Señor? —preguntó Simón Pedro.
Jesús respondió:
—Adonde yo voy, no puedes seguirme ahora, pero me seguirás más tarde.
37 —Señor —insistió Pedro—, ¿por qué no puedo seguirte ahora? Por ti daré hasta la vida.
38 Jesús respondió:
—¿Tú darás la vida por mí? Te aseguro que antes de que cante el gallo, me negarás tres veces.

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
13 Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, and[a] having loved his[b] own in the world, loved them to the end. 2 And as[c] a dinner was taking place, when[d] the devil had already put into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot that he should betray him, 3 because he[e] knew that the Father had given him all things into his[f] hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God, 4 he got up from the dinner and took off his[g] outer clothing, and taking a towel, tied it[h] around himself. 5 Then he poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them[i] dry with the towel which he had tied around himself.[j]
6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand after these things.” 8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet forever!”[k] Jesus replied to him, “Unless I wash you, you do not have a share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my[l] hands and my[m] head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed only needs[n] to wash his[o] feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not all of you.” 11 (For he knew the one who would betray him; because of this he said, “Not all of you are clean.”)
12 So when he had washed their feet and taken his outer clothing and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you? 13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you speak correctly, for I am. 14 If then I—your[p] Lord and Teacher—wash your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do. 16 Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you understand these things, you are blessed if you do them.
18 “I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, ‘The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’[q] 19 From now on I am telling you before it happens, in order that when it happens you may believe that I am he.[r] 20 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.”
Jesus Predicts Judas’ Betrayal
21 When he[s] had said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me.” 22 The disciples began looking[t] at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking. 23 One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining close beside[u] Jesus. 24 So Simon Peter gestured for this one to inquire who it was about whom he was speaking. 25 He leaned back[v] accordingly against Jesus’ chest and[w] said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus replied, “It is he to whom I dip the piece of bread and give it[x] to him.” Then after[y] dipping the piece of bread, he gave it[z][aa] to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are doing, do quickly!” 28 (Now no one of those reclining at table knew for what reason he said this to him. 29 For some were thinking because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, “Purchase what we need[ab] for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.) 30 So after he[ac] had taken the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
31 Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will glorify him immediately. 33 Children, yet a little time I am with you. You will seek me and just as I said to the Jews, “Where I am going you cannot come,” now I say also to you.
34 “A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another—just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples—if you have love for one another.”
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied,[ad] “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.” 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!” 38 Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!
