John 13:1-17

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Before the Passover festival, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go back to the Father. Jesus loved his own who were in the world, and he loved them to the end.

2 While supper was taking place, the devil had already put the idea of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

3 The Father had put everything in Jesus' control. Jesus knew that. He also knew that he had come from God and was going back to God.

4 So he got up from the table, removed his outer clothes, took a towel, and tied it around his waist.

5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel that he had tied around his waist.

6 When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter asked him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

7 Jesus answered Peter, "You don't know now what I'm doing. You will understand later."

8 Peter told Jesus, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus replied to Peter, "If I don't wash you, you don't belong to me."

9 Simon Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, don't wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head too!"

10 Jesus told Peter, "People who have washed are completely clean. They need to have only their feet washed. All of you, except for one, are clean."

11 (Jesus knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, "All of you, except for one, are clean.")

12 After Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer clothes, he took his place at the table again. Then he asked his disciples, "Do you understand what I've done for you?

13 You call me teacher and Lord, and you're right because that's what I am.

14 So if I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you must wash each other's feet.

15 I've given you an example that you should follow.

16 I can guarantee this truth: Slaves are not superior to their owners, and messengers are not superior to the people who send them.

17 If you understand all of this, you are blessed whenever you follow my example.

New International Version NIV

1 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.

3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;

4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”

10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”

11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.

12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.

13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.

14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.

15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
