John 13

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Lord’s Supper

1NowG1161 beforeG4253 the FeastG1859 of 1the PassoverG3957, JesusG2424 knowingG3609 that 2His hourG5610 had comeG2064 that He would departG3327 out of thisG3778 worldG2889 3to the FatherG3962, having lovedG25 His ownG2398 whoG3588 were in the worldG2889, He lovedG25 them 4to the endG5056. 2DuringG1096 supperG1173, 5the devilG1228 having alreadyG2235 putG906 into the heartG2588 of 6JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, the son of SimonG4613, to betrayG3860 Him, 3Jesus, 7knowingG3609 that the FatherG3962 had givenG1325 allG3956 thingsG3956 into His handsG5495, and that 8He had comeG1831 forthG1831 from GodG2316 and was goingG5217 backG5217 to GodG2316, 4gotG1453 up from supperG1173, and laidG5087 asideG5087 His garmentsG2440; and takingG2983 a towelG3012, He 9girdedG1241 HimselfG1438.

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

5ThenG1534 He pouredG906 waterG5204 into the basinG3537, and beganG757 to 10washG3538 the disciples’G3101 feetG4228 and to wipeG1591 them with the towelG3012 with whichG3739 He was girdedG1241. 6SoG3767 He cameG2064 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074. He saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, do You washG3538 my feetG4228?” 7JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “WhatG3739 I doG4160 you do not realizeG3609 nowG737, but you will understandG1097 11hereafterG3326G3778.” 8PeterG4074 saidG3004 to Him, “NeverG3756G3361 shall You washG3538 my feetG4228!” JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “12IfG1437 I do not washG3538 you, 13you haveG2192 noG3756 partG3313 with Me.” 9SimonG4613 PeterG4074 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, then wash not onlyG3440 my feetG4228, but alsoG2532 my handsG5495 and my headG2776.” 10JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “He who has bathedG3068 needsG5532 onlyG3756G1487G3361 to washG3538 his feetG4228, but is completelyG3650 cleanG2513; and 14you are cleanG2513, but not allG3956 of you.” 11For 15He knewG3609 the one who was betrayingG3860 Him; for thisG3778 reasonG1223 He saidG3004, “Not allG3956 of you are cleanG2513.”

12SoG3767 whenG3753 He had washedG3538 their feetG4228, and 16takenG2983 His garmentsG2440 and reclinedG377 at the table againG3825, He saidG3004 to them, “Do you knowG1097 whatG5101 I have doneG4160 to you? 13You callG5455 Me 17TeacherG1320 and 18LordG2962; and 19you are rightG2573, for so I amG1510. 14IfG1487 I thenG3767, 20the LordG2962 and the TeacherG1320, washedG3538 your feetG4228, you alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to washG3538 oneG240 another’sG240 feetG4228. 15For I gaveG1325 you 21an exampleG5262 that you alsoG2532 should doG4160 as I didG4160 to you. 16TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 22a slaveG1401 is not greaterG3173 than his masterG2962, norG3761 is 23oneG652 who is sentG652 greaterG3173 than the one who sentG3992 him. 17IfG1487 you knowG3609 theseG3778 thingsG3778, you are 24blessedG3107 ifG1437 you doG4160 them. 1825I do not speakG3004 of allG3956 of you. I knowG3609 the onesG5100 I have 26chosenG1586; but it is 27that the ScriptureG1124 may be fulfilledG4137, ‘28He who eatsG5176 My breadG740 has liftedG1869 up his heelG4418 againstG1909 Me.’ 19From nowG737 on 29I am tellingG3004 you beforeG4253 it comesG1096 to passG1096, soG2443 that whenG3752 it does occurG1096, you may believeG4100 that 30I amG1510 He. 20TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 31he who receivesG2983 whomeverG302G5100 I sendG3992 receivesG2983 Me; and he who receivesG2983 Me receivesG2983 Him who sentG3992 Me.”

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21When JesusG2424 had saidG3004 thisG3778, He 32became troubledG5015 in spiritG4151, and testifiedG3140 and saidG3004, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, that 33oneG1520 of you will 34betrayG3860 Me.” 22The disciplesG3101 began lookingG991 at oneG240 anotherG240, 35at a lossG639 to know of whichG5101 oneG5101 He was speakingG3004. 23There was recliningG345 on 36Jesus’G2424 bosomG2859 oneG1520 of His disciplesG3101, 37whomG3739 JesusG2424 lovedG25. 24SoG3767 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 gesturedG3506 to him, and saidG3004 to him, “TellG3004 us whoG5101 it is of whomG3739 He is speakingG3004.” 25He, 38leaningG377 backG377 thusG3779 on Jesus’G2424 bosomG4738, saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, whoG5101 is it?” 26JesusG2424 thenG3767 answeredG611, “That is the one for whomG3739 I shall dipG911 the morselG5596 and giveG1325 it to him.” SoG3767 when He had dippedG911 the morselG5596, He tookG2983 and gaveG1325 it to JudasG2455, 39the son of SimonG4613 IscariotG2469. 27AfterG3326 the morselG5596, 40SatanG4567 thenG5119 41enteredG1525 into him. ThereforeG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “WhatG3739 you doG4160, doG4160 quicklyG5036.” 28NowG1161 noG3762 oneG3762 of thoseG3588 recliningG345 at the table knewG1097 for whatG5101 purpose He had saidG3004 thisG3778 to him. 29For someG5100 were supposingG1380, becauseG1893 JudasG2455 42hadG2192 the moneyG1101 boxG1101, that JesusG2424 was sayingG3004 to him, “BuyG59 the things we haveG2192 needG5532 of 43for the feastG1859”; orG2228 elseG2228, that he should 44giveG1325 somethingG5100 to the poorG4434. 30SoG3767 after receivingG2983 the morselG5596 he wentG1831 out immediatelyG2117; and 45it was nightG3571.

31ThereforeG3767 whenG3753 he had goneG1831 out, JesusG2424 saidG3004, “NowG3568 46is 47the SonG5207 of ManG444 48glorifiedG1392, and 49GodG2316 50is glorifiedG1392 in Him; 3251ifG1487 GodG2316 is glorifiedG1392 in Him, 52GodG2316 will alsoG2532 glorifyG1392 Him in HimselfG846, and will glorifyG1392 Him immediatelyG2117. 3353LittleG5040 childrenG5040, I amG1510 with you 54a littleG3398 whileG3398 longerG2089. 55You will seekG2212 Me; and as I saidG3004 to the JewsG2453, nowG737 I alsoG2532 sayG3004 to you, ‘WhereG3699 I am goingG5217, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG1831.’ 34A 56newG2537 commandmentG1785 I giveG1325 to you, 57that you loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, 58evenG2531 as I have lovedG25 you, that you alsoG2532 loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240. 3559By thisG3778 allG3956 menG3956 will knowG1097 that you are My disciplesG3101, ifG1437 you haveG2192 loveG26 for oneG240 anotherG240.”

36SimonG4613 PeterG4074 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, whereG4226 are You goingG5217?” JesusG2424 answeredG611, “60WhereG3699 I goG5217, you cannotG1410G3756 followG190 Me nowG3568; but 61you will followG190 laterG5305.” 37PeterG4074 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, whyG1223G5101 canG1410 I not followG190 You rightG737 nowG737? 62I will layG5087 downG5087 my lifeG5590 for You.” 38JesusG2424 answeredG611, “Will you layG5087 downG5087 your lifeG5590 for Me? TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 63a roosterG220 will not crowG5455 untilG2193 you denyG720 Me threeG5151 timesG5151.
