1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his
hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father,
having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the
end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart
of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him; 3 Jesus knowing that the
Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from
God, and went to God; 4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his
garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 5 After that he poureth
water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe
them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6 Then cometh he to Simon
Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7 Jesus
answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou
shalt know hereafter. 8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my
feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with
me. 9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash
his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 11 For
he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all
clean.
12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments,
and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to
you? 13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14 If I
then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to
wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye
should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater
than he that sent him. 17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do
them.
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the
scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up
his heel against me. 19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is
come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I
send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and
testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you
shall betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he
spake. 23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he
should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 25 He then lying on Jesus’
breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to
whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped
the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 And after
the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou
doest, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he
spake this unto him. 29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the
bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of
against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30 He
then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of
man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God be glorified in
him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway
glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye
shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot
come; so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye
love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love
one to another.
36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest
thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now;
but thou shalt follow me afterwards. 37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why
cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
38 Jesus
answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me
thrice.
