| 1 | And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who [are] in the world—to the end he loved them. |
| 2 | And supper being come, the devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up, |
| 3 | Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him —into [his] hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth, |
| 4 | doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself; |
| 5 | afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded. |
| 6 | He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, 'Sir, thou—dost thou wash my feet?' |
| 7 | Jesus answered and said to him, 'That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;' |
| 8 | Peter saith to him, 'Thou mayest not wash my feet—to the age.' Jesus answered him, 'If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;' |
| 9 | Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.' |
| 10 | Jesus saith to him, 'He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;' |
| 11 | for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.' |
| 12 | When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, 'Do ye know what I have done to you? |
| 13 | ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am; |
| 14 | if then I did wash your feet—the Lord and the Teacher —ye also ought to wash one another's feet. |
| 15 | 'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do; |
| 16 | verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him; |
| 17 | if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them; |
| 18 | not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel. |
| 19 | 'From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he]; |
| 20 | verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.' |
| 21 | These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;' |
| 22 | the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh. |
| 23 | And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving; |
| 24 | Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh, |
| 25 | and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?' |
| 26 | Jesus answereth, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot. |
| 27 | And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, 'What thou dost—do quickly;' |
| 28 | and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him, |
| 29 | for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor; |
| 30 | having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night. |
| 31 | When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him; |
| 32 | if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him. |
| 33 | 'Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews—Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say [it] now. |
| 34 | 'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another; |
| 35 | in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.' |
| 36 | Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.' |
| 37 | Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;' |
| 38 | Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.' |
