John 13

¹And before the festival day of Pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should pass out of this world to his Father: whereas he had loved his that were in the world, unto the end he loved them.

²And when supper was done, whereas the devil now had put into the heart of Judas Iscariote the son of Simon, to betray him:

³knowing that the Father gave him all things into his hands, & that he came from God, and goeth to God:

⁴he riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself.

⁵After that, he put water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the Disciples, and to wipe them with the towel where with he was girded.

⁶He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him; Lord: doest thou wash my feet?

⁷Jesus answered and said to him: That which I do, thou knowest not now, hereafter thou shalt know.

⁸Peter saith to him: Thou shalt not wash my feet for ever. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt not have part with me.

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

¹⁰Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.

¹¹For he knew who he was that would betray him. therefore he said: You are not clean all.

¹²Therefore, after he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, being set down, again he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?

¹³You call me, Master, and Lord: and you say well, for I am so.

¹⁴If then I have washed your feet, Lord and Master; you also ought to wash one another's feet.

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

¹⁶Amen, amen I say to you, a servant is not greater than his Lord, neither is an Apostle greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you 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 shall lift up his heel against me.

¹⁹From this time I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe, that I am he.

²⁰Amen, amen, I say to you, he that receiveth any that I send, receiveth me: & he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

²¹When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit: and he protested, and said: Amen, amen I say to you that one of you shall betray me.

²²The Disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spake.

²³There was therefore one of his Disciples leaning in the bosom of Jesus, he whom Jesus loved.

²⁴Therefore Simon Peter beckoneth to him, and said to him: Who is it of whom he speaketh?

²⁵He therefore leaning upon the breast of Jesus saith to him: Lord, who is he?

²⁶Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach the dipped bread. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariote Simon's son.

²⁷And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. And Jesus saith to him: That which thou doest, do it quickly.

²⁸But no man knew of those that sat at table to what purpose he said this unto him.

²⁹For certain thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which are needful for us to the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor.

³⁰He therefore having received the morsel, incontinent went forth. And it was night.

³¹When he therefore was gone forth, Jesus said: Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

³²If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself, and incontinent will he glorify him.

³³Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me, & as I said to the Jews, whither I go, you cannot come: to you also I say now.

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

³⁵In this all men shall know that you are my Disciples, if you have love one to another.

³⁶Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not now follow me, but hereafter thou shalt follow.

³⁷Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will yield my life for thee.

³⁸Jesus answered him: Thy life wilt thou yield for me? Amen, amen I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, until thou deny me thrice.
