- Chapter 13 -

1
Nowe before the feast of the Passeouer, when Iesus knewe that his houre was come, that he should depart out of this world vnto the Father, forasmuch as he loued his owne which were in the world, vnto the end he loued them.
2
And when supper was done (and that the deuill had now put in the heart of Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne, to betray him)
3
Iesus knowing that the Father had giuen all things into his hands, and that he was come forth from God, and went to God,
4
He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his vpper garments, and tooke a towel, and girded himselfe.
5
After that, hee powred water into a basen, and began to wash the disciples feete, and to wipe them with the towell, wherewith he was girded.
6
Then came he to Simon Peter, who sayd to him, Lord, doest thou wash my feete?
7
Iesus answered and sayd vnto him, What I doe, thou knowest not nowe: but thou shalt knowe it hereafter.
8
Peter said vnto him, Thou shalt neuer wash my feete. Iesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt haue no part with me.
9
Simon Peter sayd vnto him, Lord, not my feete onely, but also the hands and the head.
10
Iesus sayd to him, He that is washed, needeth not, saue to wash his feete, but is cleane euery whit: and ye are cleane, but not all.
11
For hee knewe who should betray him: therefore sayd he, Ye are not all cleane.
12
So after he had washed their feete, and had taken his garments, and was set downe againe, he sayd vnto them, Knowe ye what I haue done to you?
13
Ye call me Master, and Lord, and ye say well: for so am I.
14
If I then your Lord, and Master, haue washed your feete, ye also ought to wash one an others feete.
15
For I haue giuen you an example, that ye should doe, euen as I haue done to you.
16
Verely, verely I say vnto you, The seruant is not greater then his master, neither the ambassadour greater then he that sent him.
17
If ye know these things, blessed are ye, if ye doe them.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

(Psalm 41:1–13)
18
I speake not of you all: I know whom I haue chosen: but it is that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lift vp his heele against me.
19
From henceforth tell I you before it come, that when it is come to passe, ye might beleeue that I am he.
20
Verely, verely I say vnto you, If I send any, he that receiueth him, receiueth me, and hee that receiueth me, receiueth him that sent me.
21
When Iesus had sayd these things, he was troubled in the Spirit, and testified, and said, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22
Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23
Nowe there was one of his disciples, which leaned on Iesus bosome, whom Iesus loued.
24
To him beckened therefore Simon Peter, that he should aske who it was of whom he spake.
25
He then, as he leaned on Iesus breast, saide vnto him, Lord, who is it?
26
Iesus answered, He it is, to whome I shall giue a soppe, when I haue dipt it: and hee wet a soppe, and gaue it to Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne.
27
And after the soppe, Satan entred into him. Then sayd Iesus vnto him, That thou doest, doe quickly.
28
But none of them that were at table, knew, for what cause he spake it vnto him.
29
For some of them thought because Iudas had the bag, that Iesus had sayd vnto him, Buy those things that we haue neede of against ye feast: or that he should giue some thing to the poore.
30
Assoone then as he had receiued the soppe, he went immediately out, and it was night.

Love One Another

(Romans 12:9–13; 1 John 3:11–24)
31
When hee was gone out, Iesus sayd, Nowe is the Sonne of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32
If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorifie him in himselfe, and shall straightway glorifie him.
33
Litle children, yet a litle while am I with you: ye shall seeke me, but as I sayde vnto the Iewes, Whither I goe, can ye not come: also to you say I nowe,
34
A newe commandement giue I vnto you, that ye loue one another: as I haue loued you, that ye also loue one another.
35
By this shall all men knowe that ye are my disciples, if ye haue loue one to another.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; Luke 22:31–38)
36
Simon Peter said vnto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Iesus answered him, Whither I goe, thou canst not follow me nowe: but thou shalt follow me afterward.
37
Peter sayd vnto him, Lord, why can I not follow thee now? I will lay downe my life for thy sake.
38
Iesus answered him, Wilt thou lay downe thy life for my sake? Verely, verely I say vnto thee, The cocke shall not crowe, till thou haue denied me thrise.
1
Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2
During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
3
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4
arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5
Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciplesfeet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6
Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
7
Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
8
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”
9
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
10
Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”
11
For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
12
So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
13
You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
14
If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15
For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
16
Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

(Psalm 41:1–13)
18
I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’ (a)
19
From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
20
Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
21
When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast.
24
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
25
He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesusbreast, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26
Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28
Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
29
For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30
Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

Love One Another

(Romans 12:9–13; 1 John 3:11–24)
31
When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
33
Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
35
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; Luke 22:31–38)
36
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
37
Peter said to him, “Lord, why cant I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
38
Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
