John 13 (New American Standard)

The Lord's Supper

1 Now before the Feast of ¹the Passover, Jesus knowing that ²His hour had come that He would depart out of this world ³to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them ^ato the end. 2 During supper, ⁴the devil having already put into the heart of ⁵Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, 3 Jesus, ⁶knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that ⁷He had come forth from God and was going back to God, 4 got up from supper, and laid aside His garments ; and taking a towel, He ⁸girded Himself.

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

5 Then He poured water into the basin, and began to ⁹wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. 6 So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet ?" 7 Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand ¹⁰hereafter ." 8 Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet !" Jesus answered him, "¹¹If I do not wash you, ¹²you have no part with Me." 9 Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head." 10 Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean ; and ¹³you are clean, but not all of you." 11 For ¹⁴He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean." 12 So when He had washed their feet, and ¹⁵taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? 13 "You call Me ¹⁶Teacher and ¹⁷Lord ; and ^byou are right, for so I am. 14 "If I then, ¹⁸the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 "For I gave you ¹⁹an example that you also should do as I did to you. 16 "Truly, truly, I say to you, ²⁰a slave is not greater than his master, nor is ²¹one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. 17 "If you know these things, you are ²²blessed if you do them. 18 "²³I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have ²⁴chosen ; but it is ²⁵that the Scripture may be fulfilled, '²⁶HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.' 19 "From now on ²⁷I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that ²⁸I am He. 20 "Truly, truly, I say to you, ²⁹he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21 When Jesus had said this, He ³⁰became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that ³¹one of you will ^cbetray Me." 22 The disciples began looking at one another, ³²at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. 23 There was reclining on ³³Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, ³⁴whom Jesus loved. 24 So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking." 25 He, ³⁵leaning back thus on Jesus' bosom, said to Him, "Lord, who is it?" 26 Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, ³⁶the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After the morsel, ³⁷Satan then ³⁸entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly." 28 Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29 For some were supposing, because Judas ³⁹had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of ⁴⁰for the feast "; or else, that he should ⁴¹give something to the poor. 30 So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately ; and ⁴²it was night. 31 Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now ^dis ⁴³the Son of Man ⁴⁴glorified, and ⁴⁵God ^eis glorified in Him; 32 ^fif God is glorified in Him, ⁴⁶God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately. 33 "⁴⁷Little children, I am with you ⁴⁸a little while longer. ⁴⁹You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' 34 "A ⁵⁰new commandment I give to you, ⁵¹that you love one another, ⁵²even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 "⁵³By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." 36 Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going ?" Jesus answered, "⁵⁴Where I go, you cannot follow Me now ; but ⁵⁵you will follow later." 37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You right now ? ⁵⁶I will lay down my life for You." 38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁵⁷a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.
