Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
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.
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.
During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
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 given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God.
rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist.
So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist,
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.
and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.”
Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”
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,” Peter protested, “you will never ever wash my feet!”
Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”
Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!”
Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”
For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
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?
After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing?
You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.
You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am.
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet.
For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.
I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.
I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message.
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them.
I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”
I tell you the truth, anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who sent me.”
One of You Will Betray Me
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 saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”
The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.
The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he could mean.
Simon Peter motioned to him to ask, “Who’s he talking about?”
So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?”
So that disciple leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
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 responded, “It is the one to whom I give the bread I dip in the bowl.” And when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.
Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
When Judas had eaten the bread, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus told him, “Hurry and do what you’re going to do.”
Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.
None of the others at the table knew what Jesus meant.
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 was their treasurer, some thought Jesus was telling him to go and pay for the food or to give some money to the poor.
So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.
So Judas left at once, going out into the night.
A New Commandment
When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.
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.’
Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can’t come where I am going.
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.
So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial
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 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, “Lord, where are you going?”
And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with me now, but you will follow me later.”
And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with me now, but you will follow me later.”
Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
“But why can’t I come now, Lord?” he asked. “I’m ready to die for you.”
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.
Jesus answered, “Die for me? I tell you the truth, Peter — before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.
