¹Now before the feast of the Passover , Jesus , knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father , having loved his own who were in the world , he loved them to the end .

²During supper , the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot , Simon ’s son, to betray him ,

³Jesus , knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands , and that he came from God and was going to God ,

⁴arose from supper , and laid aside his outer garments . He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.

⁵Then he poured water into the basin , and began to wash the disciples ’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him .

⁶Then he came to Simon Peter . He said to him , “Lord , do you wash my feet ?”

⁷Jesus answered him , “ You don’t know what I am doing now , but you will understand later .”

⁸Peter said to him , “You will never wash my feet !”

Jesus answered him , “ If I don’ t wash you , you have no part with me .”

⁹Simon Peter said to him , “Lord , not my feet only , but also my hands and my head !”

¹⁰Jesus said to him , “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed , but is completely clean . You are clean , but not all of you .”

¹¹For he knew him who would betray him ; therefore he said , “ You are not all clean .”

¹²So when he had washed their feet , put his outer garment back on , and sat down again , he said to them , “ Do you know what I have done to you ?

¹³You call me , ‘ Teacher ’ and ‘ Lord .’ You say so correctly , for so I am .

¹⁴If I then , the Lord and the Teacher , have washed your feet , you also ought to wash one another ’ s feet .

¹⁵For I have given you an example , that you should also do as I have done to you .

¹⁶Most certainly I tell you , a servant is not greater than his lord , neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him .

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

¹⁸I don’ t 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 .’[#Psalms 41:9]

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

²⁰Most certainly I tell you , he who receives whomever I send , receives me ; and he who receives me , receives him who sent me .”

²¹When Jesus had said this , he was troubled in spirit , and testified , “ Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me .”

²²The disciples looked at one another , perplexed about whom he spoke .

²³One of his disciples , whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus ’ chest.

²⁴Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him , and said to him , “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks .”

²⁵He , leaning back, as he was , on Jesus ’ chest , asked him , “Lord , who is it ?”

²⁶Jesus therefore answered, “ It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it .” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas , the son of Simon Iscariot .

²⁷After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him .

Then Jesus said to him , “ What you do , do quickly .”

²⁸Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him .

²⁹For some thought , because Judas had the money box , that Jesus said to him , “Buy what things we need for the feast ,” or that he should give something to the poor .

³⁰Therefore having received that morsel , he went out immediately . It was night .

³¹When he had gone out , Jesus said , “ Now the Son of Man has been glorified , and God has been glorified in him .

³²If God has been glorified in him , God will also glorify him in himself , and he will glorify him immediately .

³³Little children , I will be with you a little while longer . You will seek me , and as I said to the Jews , ‘ Where I am going , you can ’ t come ,’ so now I tell you .

³⁴A new commandment I give to you , that you love one another. Just as I have loved you , you also love one another.

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

³⁶Simon Peter said to him , “Lord , where are you going ?”

Jesus answered , “ Where I am going , you can ’t follow now , but you will follow afterwards .”

³⁷Peter said to him , “Lord , why can ’t I follow you now ? I will lay down my life for you .”

³⁸Jesus answered him , “ Will you lay down your life for me ? Most certainly I tell you , the rooster won’ t crow until you have denied me three times .
