John 13

₁Now 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.

₂And supper being ended, the devil having now 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 was come from God, and went to God; ₄he riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. ₅After 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. ₆Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? ₇Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. ₈Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. ₉Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. ₁₀Jesus 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. ₁₁For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

₁₂So 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? ₁₃Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. ₁₄If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. ₁₅For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. ₁₆Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. ₁₇If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. ₁₈I 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. ₁₉Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. ₂₀Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

₂₁When 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. ₂₂Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. ₂₃Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. ₂₄Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. ₂₅He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? ₂₆Jesus 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. ₂₇And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. ₂₈Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. ₂₉For 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. ₃₀He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

₃₁Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. ₃₂If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. ₃₃Little 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. ₃₄A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ₃₅By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

₃₆Simon 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. ₃₇Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. ₃₈Jesus 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.
