John 13:12-38

12So after He had washed their feet and put His robe back on and reclined again, He said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you?

13You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Master’—and rightly you say, for I am.

14So if I, your Master and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash each other’s feet.

15I have given you an example—you should do for each other what I have done for you.

16“Amen, amen I tell you, a servant isn’t greater than his master, and the one who is sent isn’t greater than the one who sent him.

17If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them!”

18“I am not speaking to all of you—I know whom I have chosen. But so the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

19From now on I am telling you, before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I am.

20Amen, amen I tell you, he who receives the one I send, receives Me; and he who receives Me, receives the One who sent Me.”

21After He said these things, Yeshua was agitated in spirit and testified, “Amen, amen I tell you, one of you will betray Me!”

22The disciples began looking at each other, perplexed—who was He talking about?

23One of His disciples, whom Yeshua loved, was reclining at His side.

24Simon Peter nods to him and says, “Ask Him—who is He talking about?”

25Then he who leaned on Yeshua’s chest says to Him, “Master, who is it?”

26Yeshua answers, “It’s the one I will give this bit of matzah to, after I dip it.” After dipping the matzah , He takes it and gives it to Judah from Kriot, the son of Simon.

27And with that bit, satan entered into him. Then Yeshua tells him, “What you’re about to do, do quickly!”

28But no one reclining at the table knew why Yeshua said this to him.

29Since Judah had the moneybox, some thought Yeshua was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

30So after Judah received the bit of matzah , he left immediately. Now it was night.

31Then when Judah had gone out, Yeshua said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him!

32If God is glorified in Him, God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him at once.

33Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will search for Me; and just as I told the Judean leaders, so I say to you now, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

34“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also you must love one another.

35By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

36“Master, where are You going?” Simon Peter said to Him. Yeshua answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow Me later.”

37Peter said to Him, “Master, why can’t I follow You now? I’ll lay down my life for You!”

38Yeshua answers, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Amen, amen I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times!”
