Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from 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 that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going 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 and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist,
After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.
Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?”
When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.”
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 part with Me.”
Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part 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!”
Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”
For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”
For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
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 say well, 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 should do as I have done to you.
I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.
Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
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.
Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him 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.”
When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”
Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.
The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he could mean.
Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
Simon Peter motioned to him to ask, “Who’s he talking about?”
So that disciple leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
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.
Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you 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.”
But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.
None of the others at the table knew what Jesus meant.
For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things 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.
Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.
So Judas left at once, going out into the night.
The New Commandment
So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately.
Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.
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; as I have loved you, that you also 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 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 Predicts 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 shall follow Me 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 shall follow Me 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 Your sake.”
“But why can’t I come now, Lord?” he asked. “I’m ready to die for you.”
Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall 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.
