John 13:14-24

14 If then I--[your] Lord and Teacher--wash your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do.
16 Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 If you understand these [things], you are blessed if you do them.
18 "I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, 'The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
19 From now [on] I am telling you before [it] happens, in order that when [it] happens you may believe that I am [he].
20 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me."

Jesus Predicts Judas’ Betrayal

21 [When he] had said these [things], Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, "Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me."
22 The disciples began looking at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking.
23 One of his disciples--the one whom Jesus loved--was reclining {close beside} Jesus.
24 So Simon Peter gestured for this one to inquire who it was about whom he was speaking.
