John 13

13
Jesus’s Final Meal With His Disciples
1It was just before the feast of the Passover. Jesus, knowing that the time had come when he would depart from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2During supper, the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him. 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God, 4arose from supper and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped it around his waist. 5Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of disciples and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6Then he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
8Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!”
Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”
9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, then don’t just wash my feet, but also my hands and my head!”
10Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. Y’all are clean, but not everyone.” 11For he knew who was going to betray him, which is why he said, “Y’all aren’t all clean.” 12So when he had washed their feet, he put his outer garment back on, sat down, and he said to them, “Do y’all know what I have done for y’all? 13Y’all call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’ and y’all are right, for that is what I am. 14Then if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed y’all’s feet, then y’all should wash one another’s feet. 15I have given y’all an example so that y’all should also do what I have done for y’all. 16Very truly I tell y’all, a servant is not greater than their lord, neither is one who is sent greater than the who sent them. 17If y’all know these things, y’all are blessed if y’all do them.
Jesus Predicts Judas’s Betrayal
18 I am not speaking about all y’all. I know the ones I have chosen. But this is so that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’ # Psalm 41:9 19I am telling y’all now before it happens, so that when it does happen, y’all will believe that ‘I am.’ 20Very truly I tell y’all, whoever receives someone I send, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives the one who sent me.”
21When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I tell y’all that one of y’all is going to betray me.”
22The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke. 23One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining against Jesus’s chest. 24Then Simon Peter gestured to him, and said, “Ask him who he is referring to.”
25Leaning back against Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”
26Then Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” Then he dipped the piece of bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27After taking the piece of bread, Satan entered into him.
Then Jesus said to him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
28But no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29Some thought that because Judas had the money box, Jesus was saying to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30So after received the piece of bread, Judas left immediately. And it was night.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
31When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Humanity is glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in ʜɪᴍꜱᴇʟꜰ, and will glorify him immediately. 33Little children, I will be with y’all a little while longer. Y’all will look for me, and just as I said to the Jews I am telling y’all now, ‘Where I am going, y’all can’t come,’ 34A new commandment I give to y’all, that y’all love one another. Just as I have loved y’all, so y’all must love one another. 35By this everyone will know that y’all are my disciples—that y’all love one another.”
36Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?”
Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow later.”
37Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
38Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
