John 13

1It was nowG1161 just beforeG4253 theG3588 PassoverG3588G3957 FeastG1859, and JesusG2424 knewG1492 thatG3754 HisG846 hourG5610 had comeG2064 toG2443 leaveG3327G1537 thisG3778 worldG2889 and return toG4314 theG3588 FatherG3962. Having lovedG25 His ownG2398 whoG3588 were inG1722 theG3588 worldG2889, He lovedG25 themG846 toG1519 the very endG5056.1 2The evening mealG1173 was underwayG1096, and theG3588 devilG1228 had alreadyG2235 putG906 intoG1519 theG3588 heartG2588 of JudasG2455, the son of SimonG4613 IscariotG2469, toG2443 betrayG3860 Jesus.

3Jesus knewG1492 thatG3754 theG3588 FatherG3962 had deliveredG1325 all thingsG3956 intoG1519 His handsG5495, andG2532 thatG3754 He had comeG1831 fromG575 GodG2316 andG2532 was returningG5217 toG4314 GodG2316. 4So He got upG1453 fromG1537 theG3588 supperG1173, laid asideG5087 His outer garmentsG2440, andG2532 wrappedG1241 a towelG3012 around His waistG1438. 5After thatG1534, He pouredG906 waterG5204 intoG1519 a basinG3537 andG2532 beganG756 to washG3538 theG3588 disciplesG3588G3101’ feetG4228 andG2532 dryG1591 them with theG3588 towelG3012 thatG3739 wasG1510 around HimG1241.

He cameG2064 toG4314 SimonG4613 PeterG4074, who askedG3004 HimG846, “LordG2962, are You going to washG4771G3538 myG1473 feetG4228?”

7JesusG2424 repliedG611G2532G2036G846, “YouG4771 do notG3756 realizeG1492 nowG737 whatG3739 IG1473 am doingG4160, butG1161 laterG3326G3778 you will understandG1097.”

8“NeverG3756G3361 shall You washG3538 myG1473 feetG4228!” PeterG4074 toldG3004 HimG846.

JesusG2424 answeredG611, “UnlessG1437G3361 I washG3538 youG4771, you haveG2192 noG3756 partG3313 withG3326 MeG1473.”

9“Then, LordG2962,” SimonG4613 PeterG4074 repliedG3004, “notG3361 onlyG3440 myG1473 feetG4228, butG235 my handsG5495 andG2532 my headG2776 as wellG2532!”

10

JesusG2424 toldG3004 himG846, “WhoeverG3588 has already bathedG3068 needsG5532 onlyG1487G3361 to washG3538 his feetG4228, and he will be completelyG3650 cleanG2513. AndG2532 youG4771 areG1510 cleanG2513, thoughG235 notG3780 allG3956 of you.” 11ForG1063 He knewG1492 whoG3588 would betrayG3860 HimG846. That is whyG1223G3778 He saidG2036, “NotG3780 allG3956 of youG1510 are cleanG2513.”

12

WhenG3753 Jesus had washedG3538 theirG846 feetG4228 andG2532 put onG2983 HisG846 outer garmentsG2440, He reclined with themG377 againG3825 and askedG2036G846, “Do you knowG1097 whatG5101 I have doneG4160 for youG4771? 13YouG4771 callG5455 MeG1473 TeacherG1320 andG2532 LordG2962, andG2532 rightlyG2573 so, becauseG1063 I amG1510. 14SoG3767 ifG1487 IG1473, your LordG2962 andG2532 TeacherG1320, have washedG3538 yourG4771 feetG4228, youG4771 alsoG2532 shouldG3784 washG3538 one another’sG240 feetG4228. 15I have setG1325 youG4771 an exampleG5262 so thatG2443 youG4771 should doG4160 asG2531 IG1473 have doneG4160 for youG4771. 16TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, noG3756 servantG1401 isG1510 greater thanG3173 hisG846 masterG2962,2 norG3761 is a messengerG652 greater thanG3173 theG3588 one who sentG3992 himG846. 17IfG1487 you knowG1492 these thingsG3778, you will beG1510 blessedG3107 ifG1437 you doG4160 themG846.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

(Psalm 41:1–13)

18I am not speakingG3004 aboutG4012 allG3956 of youG4771; IG1473 knowG1492 whomG5101 I have chosenG1586. ButG235 this is toG2443 fulfillG4137 theG3588 ScriptureG1124: ‘The one whoG3588 sharesG5176 MyG1473 breadG740 has lifted upG1869 hisG846 heelG4418 againstG1909 MeG1473.’3 19I am tellingG3004 youG4771 nowG737 beforeG4253 it happensG1096, so thatG2443 whenG3752 it comes to passG1096, you will believeG4100 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 He. 20TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, whoeverG3588 receivesG2983 the oneG302G5100 I sendG3992 receivesG2983 MeG1473, andG1161 whoeverG3588 receivesG2983 MeG1473 receivesG2983 theG3588 One who sentG3992 MeG1473.”

21

After JesusG2424 had saidG2036 this, He became troubledG5015 in spiritG4151 andG2532 testifiedG3140G2532G2036, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, oneG1520 ofG1537 youG4771 will betrayG3860 MeG1473.”

22TheG3588 disciplesG3101 lookedG991 atG1519 one anotherG240, perplexedG639 as toG4012 which of themG5101 He meantG3004. 23OneG1520 ofG1537 HisG846 disciplesG3101, the one whomG3739 JesusG2424 lovedG25, wasG1510 recliningG345 atG1722 His sideG2859.4 24SoG3767 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 motionedG3506 to himG3778 to askG4441 Jesus which oneG5101 He was talkingG3004 aboutG4012. 25LeaningG377 back againstG3779G1909G3588G4738 JesusG2424, he askedG3004, “LordG2962, whoG5101 is itG1510?”

26

JesusG2424 answeredG611, “It isG1510 theG1565 one to whomG3739 IG1473 giveG1325 this morselG5596 after I have dippedG911 it.” ThenG3767 HeG846 dippedG911 theG3588 morselG5596 andG2532 gaveG2983G1325 it to JudasG2455 son of SimonG4613 IscariotG2469. 27And when Judas had taken theG3588 morselG5596, SatanG4567 enteredG1525 intoG1519 himG1565.

ThenG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 toG846 Judas, “WhatG3739 you are about to doG4160, doG4160 quicklyG5032.” 28ButG1161 no oneG3762 at the table knewG1097 whyG4314G5101 Jesus had saidG2036 thisG3778 to himG846. 29SinceG1893 JudasG2455 keptG2192 theG3588 money bagG1101, someG5100 thoughtG1380 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was tellingG3004 himG846 to buyG59 whatG3739 wasG2192 neededG5532 forG1519 theG3588 feastG1859, orG2228 toG2443 giveG1325 somethingG5100 to theG3588 poorG4434. 30As soon as he had receivedG2983G2112 theG3588 morselG5596, Judas went outG1831 into the nightG3571.

Love One Another

(Romans 12:9–13; 1 John 3:11–24)

WhenG3753 Judas had gone outG1831, JesusG2424 saidG3004, “NowG3568 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 is glorifiedG1392, andG2532 GodG2316 is glorifiedG1392 inG1722 HimG846. 32IfG1487 GodG2316 is glorifiedG1392 inG1722 HimG846,5 GodG2316 will also glorifyG2532G1392 the Son inG1722 HimselfG848—andG2532 will glorifyG1392 HimG846 at onceG2112.

33Little childrenG5040, I amG1510 withG3326 youG4771 onlyG2089 a little while longerG3398. You will look forG2212 MeG1473, andG2532 asG2531 I saidG2036 to theG3588 JewsG2453, soG2532 nowG737 I sayG3004 to youG4771: ‘WhereG3699 IG1473 am goingG5217, youG4771 cannotG3756G1410 comeG2064.’

34A newG2537 commandmentG1785 I giveG1325 youG4771: LoveG25 one anotherG240. AsG2531 I have lovedG25 youG4771, soG2443 youG4771 alsoG2532 must loveG25 one anotherG240. 35ByG1722 thisG3778 everyoneG3956 will knowG1097 thatG3754 you areG1510 MyG1699 disciplesG3101, ifG1437 you loveG2192G26 one anotherG240.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; Luke 22:31–38)

36“LordG2962, whereG4226 are You goingG5217?” SimonG4613 PeterG4074 askedG3004.

JesusG2424 answeredG611, “WhereG3699 I am goingG5217, you cannotG3756G1410 followG190 MeG1473 nowG3568, butG1161 you will followG190 laterG5305.”

37“LordG2962,” saidG3004 PeterG4074, “whyG1223G5101 can’t IG3756G1410 followG190 YouG4771 nowG737? I will lay downG5087 myG1473 lifeG5590 forG5228 YouG4771.”

38“Will you lay downG5087 yourG4771 lifeG5590 forG5228 MeG1473?” JesusG2424 repliedG611. “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, before the roosterG220 crowsG5455, you will denyG720 MeG1473 three timesG5151.
