1It was before Passover, and Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and to return to the Father. He had always loved his followers in this world, and he loved them to the very end.
2Even before the evening meal started, the devil had made Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, decide to betray Jesus.[#13.2 See the note at 6.71.]
3Jesus knew he had come from God and would go back to God. He also knew that the Father had given him complete power.
4So during the meal Jesus got up, removed his outer garment, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5He put some water into a large bowl. Then he began washing his disciples' feet and drying them with the towel he was wearing.
6But when he came to Simon Peter, this disciple asked, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7Jesus answered, “You don't really know what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
8“You will never wash my feet!” Peter replied.
“If I don't wash you,” Jesus told him, “you don't really belong to me.”
9Peter said, “Lord, don't wash just my feet. Wash my hands and my head.”
10Jesus answered, “People who have bathed and are clean all over need to wash just their feet. And you, my disciples, are clean, except for one of you.”
11Jesus knew who would betray him. That is why he said, “except for one of you.”
12After Jesus had washed his disciples' feet and had put his outer garment back on, he sat down again. Then he said:[#Lk 22.27.; #13.12 On special occasions the Jewish people followed the Greek and Roman custom of lying down on their left side and leaning on their left elbow, while eating with their right hand.]
21After Jesus had said these things, he was deeply troubled and told his disciples, “I tell you for certain that one of you will betray me.”
22They were confused about what he meant. And they just stared at each other.
23Jesus' favorite disciple was sitting next to him at the meal,
24and Simon motioned for this disciple to find out which one Jesus meant.
25So the disciple leaned toward Jesus and asked, “Lord, which one of us are you talking about?”
26Jesus answered, “I will dip this piece of bread in the sauce and give it to the one I was talking about.”
Then Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27Right then Satan took control of Judas.
Jesus said, “Judas, go quickly and do what you have to do.”
28No one at the meal understood what Jesus meant.
29But because Judas was in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus had told him to buy something they needed for the festival. Others thought that Jesus had told him to give some money to the poor.
30Judas took the piece of bread and went out.
It was already night.
31After Judas had gone, Jesus said:
36Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?”
Jesus answered, “You can't go with me now, but later on you will.”
37Peter asked, “Lord, why can't I go with you now? I would die for you!”
38“Would you really die for me?” Jesus asked. “I tell you for certain before a rooster crows, you will say three times that you don't even know me.”
