The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 ante diem autem festum paschae sciens Iesus quia venit eius hora ut transeat ex hoc mundo ad Patrem cum dilexisset suos qui erant in mundo in finem dilexit eos
1
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.
2 et cena facta cum diabolus iam misisset in corde ut traderet eum Iudas Simonis Scariotis
2
And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,
3 sciens quia omnia dedit ei Pater in manus et quia a Deo exivit et ad Deum vadit
3
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
4 surgit a cena et ponit vestimenta sua et cum accepisset linteum praecinxit se
4
rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
5 deinde mittit aquam in pelvem et coepit lavare pedes discipulorum et extergere linteo quo erat praecinctus
5
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.
6 venit ergo ad Simonem Petrum et dicit ei Petrus Domine tu mihi lavas pedes
6
Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"
7 respondit Iesus et dicit ei quod ego facio tu nescis modo scies autem postea
7
Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."
8 dicit ei Petrus non lavabis mihi pedes in aeternum respondit Iesus ei si non lavero te non habes partem mecum
8
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."
9 dicit ei Simon Petrus Domine non tantum pedes meos sed et manus et caput
9
Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"
10 dicit ei Iesus qui lotus est non indiget ut lavet sed est mundus totus et vos mundi estis sed non omnes
10
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."
11 sciebat enim quisnam esset qui traderet eum propterea dixit non estis mundi omnes
11
For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."
12 postquam ergo lavit pedes eorum et accepit vestimenta sua cum recubuisset iterum dixit eis scitis quid fecerim vobis
12
So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
13 vos vocatis me magister et Domine et bene dicitis sum etenim
13
You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
14 si ergo ego lavi vestros pedes Dominus et magister et vos debetis alter alterius lavare pedes
14
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 exemplum enim dedi vobis ut quemadmodum ego feci vobis ita et vos faciatis
15
For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
16 amen amen dico vobis non est servus maior domino suo neque apostolus maior eo qui misit illum
16
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.
17 si haec scitis beati eritis si feceritis ea
17
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18 non de omnibus vobis dico ego scio quos elegerim sed ut impleatur scriptura qui manducat mecum panem levavit contra me calcaneum suum
18
I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.'
19 amodo dico vobis priusquam fiat ut credatis cum factum fuerit quia ego sum
19
Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.
20 amen amen dico vobis qui accipit si quem misero me accipit qui autem me accipit accipit eum qui me misit
20
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
21 cum haec dixisset Iesus turbatus est spiritu et protestatus est et dixit amen amen dico vobis quia unus ex vobis tradet me
21
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."
22 aspiciebant ergo ad invicem discipuli haesitantes de quo diceret
22
Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.
23 erat ergo recumbens unus ex discipulis eius in sinu Iesu quem diligebat Iesus
23
Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 innuit ergo huic Simon Petrus et dicit ei quis est de quo dicit
24
Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
25 itaque cum recubuisset ille supra pectus Iesu dicit ei Domine quis est
25
Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"
26 respondit Iesus ille est cui ego intinctum panem porrexero et cum intinxisset panem dedit Iudae Simonis Scariotis
26
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.
27 et post buccellam tunc introivit in illum Satanas dicit ei Iesus quod facis fac citius
27
Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
28 hoc autem nemo scivit discumbentium ad quid dixerit ei
28
But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.
29 quidam enim putabant quia loculos habebat Iudas quia dicit ei Iesus eme ea quae opus sunt nobis ad diem festum aut egenis ut aliquid daret
29
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.
30 cum ergo accepisset ille buccellam exivit continuo erat autem nox
30
Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.
31 cum ergo exisset dicit Iesus nunc clarificatus est Filius hominis et Deus clarificatus est in eo
31
So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 si Deus clarificatus est in eo et Deus clarificabit eum in semet ipso et continuo clarificabit eum
32
If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately.
33 filioli adhuc modicum vobiscum sum quaeretis me et sicut dixi Iudaeis quo ego vado vos non potestis venire et vobis dico modo
33
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.
34 mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos ut et vos diligatis invicem
34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 in hoc cognoscent omnes quia mei discipuli estis si dilectionem habueritis ad invicem
35
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
36 dicit ei Simon Petrus Domine quo vadis respondit Iesus quo ego vado non potes me modo sequi sequeris autem postea
36
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."
37 dicit ei Petrus quare non possum sequi te modo animam meam pro te ponam
37
Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake."
38 respondit Iesus animam tuam pro me ponis amen amen dico tibi non cantabit gallus donec me ter neges
38
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.
