John 13

1And 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 <FI>are<Fi> in the world--to the end he loved them.

1Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

2And supper being come, the devil already having put <FI>it<Fi> into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

2So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

3Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him--into <FI>his<Fi> hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

3Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

4doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;

4Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.

5afterward 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.

5Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.

6He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, `Sir, thou--dost thou wash my feet?'

6So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?

7Jesus answered and said to him, `That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'

7And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

8Peter 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;'

8Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

9Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'

9Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.

10Jesus 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;'

10Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.

11for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, `Ye are not all clean.'

11(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

12When, 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?

12Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?

13ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;

13You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

14if then I did wash your feet--the Lord and the Teacher--ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

14If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.

15`For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

15I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

16verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

16Truly I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; and he who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him.

17if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

17If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them.

18not 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.

18I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

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 <FI>he<Fi> ;

19From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

20verily, 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.'

20Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.

21These 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;'

21When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

22the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.

22Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.

23And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

23There was at table one of his disciples, the one dear to Jesus, resting his head on Jesus' breast.

24Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,

24Making a sign to him, Simon Peter said, Who is it he is talking about?

25and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?'

25He, then, resting his head on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?

26Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth <FI>it<Fi> to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

26This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost--do quickly;'

27And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

28and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,

28Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.

29for 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;

29Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

30having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

30So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.

31When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, `Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;

31Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.

32if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

32If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.

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 <FI>it<Fi> now.

33My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

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;

34I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

35in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

35By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

36Simon 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.'

36Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.

37Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

37Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you.

38Jesus 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.'

38Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.
