1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come, that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. 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. It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 And supper taking place and the devil already having put into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot that he should betray Him, During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
3 knowing that the Father has given to Him all things into the hands, and that He came forth from God and He is going to God, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;
4 He rises from the supper and lays aside His garments. And having taken a towel, He girded Himself. rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 After that, He pours water into the basin, and He began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6 Then He comes to Simon Peter, who says to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do, you do not know presently, but you will know after these things.” Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
8 Peter says to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet, to the age!” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.” Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
9 Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head!” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
10 Jesus says to him, “The one having been bathed has no need to wash, except the feet, but is wholly clean. And you⁺ all are clean, but not all.” Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.” Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”
11 For He knew the one who is betraying Him; on account of this He said, “You⁺ are not all clean.” For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.” For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
12 Therefore when He washed their feet and took His garments and reclined again, He said to them, “Do you⁺ know what I have done to you⁺? When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.
13 You⁺ call Me Teacher and Lord, and you⁺ say rightly, for I am. You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.
14 Therefore if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your⁺ feet, you⁺ also ought to wash the feet of one another. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
15 For I gave you⁺ an example so that as I did to you⁺, you⁺ also should do. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
16 Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, a servant is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one having sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 If you⁺ know these things, you⁺ are blessed if you⁺ do them. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
18 I speak not about all of you⁺—I know whom I chose—but so that the Scripture may be fulfilled: ‘The one eating My bread lifted up his heel against Me.’ I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ “I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned against me.’
19 I am telling you⁺ from this time, before it comes to pass, so that when it comes to pass you⁺ should believe that I am He. I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am.
20 Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, the one receiving anyone I shall send receives Me, and the one receiving Me receives the One having sent Me.” Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.” Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”
21 Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and He testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺ that one of you⁺ will deliver Me up.” After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”
22 The disciples began to look upon one another, being uncertain of whom He is speaking. The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant.
23 There was reclining one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, in the bosom of Jesus. One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus’ side, One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.
24 Therefore Simon Peter motions to this one to ask who it is about whom He is speaking. so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”
25 Then he thus, having leaned on the breast of Jesus, says to Him, “Lord, who is it?” So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Then Jesus answers, “It is he to whom I will dip the morsel and will give it to him.” Then, having dipped the morsel, He takes it and gives it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. Therefore Jesus says to him, “What you do, do quickly.” Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
28 Now none of those reclining knew toward what He said this to him. Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.
29 For some were thinking, since Judas had the money bag, that Jesus is saying to him, “Buy what things we have need of for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. Some thought that, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.
30 Therefore, having received the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night. So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night. As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.
31 Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus says, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in Him. When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. When he was gone, 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 He will glorify Him immediately. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will 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, now I say also to you⁺: ‘Where I go, you⁺ are not able to come.’ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.
34 A new commandment I give to you⁺, that you⁺ should love one another. As I have loved you⁺, so you⁺ also should love one another. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
35 By this all will know that you⁺ are My disciples, if you⁺ shall have love among one another.” By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
36 Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I go, you are not able to follow Me now, but you will follow afterward.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.” Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”
37 Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You presently? I will lay down my life for You.” Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t 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 rooster will not crow until you will deny Me three times. Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times. Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!
