John 13:12-38 ▼

12 Therefore, when he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, he reclined at table again, and said to them: Do you understand what I have done for you?

13 You call me Teacher and Lord; and you say well, for so I am.

14 If, then, I, your Lord and your Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 For I have given you an example, that you also may do as I have done for you.

16 Verily, verily I say to you, the servant is not greater than his master, nor is he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

17 If you know these things, blessed are you, if you do them.

18 I speak not of you all. I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.

19 I tell you this now, before it comes to pass, that when it comes to pass, you may believe that I am he.

20 Verily, verily I say to you, he that receives him that I shall send, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him that sent me.

21 When Jesus had spoken these things, he was troubled in spirit, and testified and said: Verily, verily I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up.

22 Then the disciples looked at one another, doubting of whom he spoke.

23 There was reclining on the bosom of Jesus, one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

24 Then Simon Peter beckoned to this one, that he should inquire who it was of whom he spoke.

25 And he that was reclining on Jesus breast, said to him: Lord, who is it?

26 Jesus answered: It is he to whom I shall give this morsel after I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

27 And after the morsel was given, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him: What you do, do quickly.

28 But none of those who reclined at table with him knew for what purpose he said this to him.

29 For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

30 Then, on receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night.

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him.

33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and, as I said to the Jews, whither I go, you can not come, so now I say to you.

34 A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

36 Simon Peter said to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him: Whither I go, you can not follow me now; but you shall follow me hereafter.

37 Peter said to him: Lord, why can I not follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

38 Jesus answered him: Will you lay down your life for me? Verily, verily I say to you, the cock will not crow till you have denied me three times.
