- Kapitel 13 -

And before the Celebration of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour has come, that He may depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who [are] in the world—to the end He loved them.

And dinner having come, the Devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver Him up,

Jesus knowing that all things the Father has given to Him—into [His] hands, and that He came forth from God, and He goes to God,

rises from the dinner, and lays down His garments, and having taken a towel, He girded Himself;

afterward He puts 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.

He comes, therefore, to Simon Peter, and that one says to Him, “Lord, You—do You wash my feet?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “That which I do you have not known now, but you will know after these things”;

Peter says to Him, “You may not wash my feet—throughout the age.” Jesus answered him, “If I may not wash you, you have no part with Me”;

Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.”

Jesus says to him, “He who has been bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and you are clean, but not all”;

for He knew him who is delivering Him up; because of this He said, “You are not all clean.”

When, therefore, He washed their feet, and took His garments, having reclined again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

You call Me the Teacher and the LORD, and you say well, for I am;

if then I washed your feet—the LORD and the Teacher—you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

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

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

if you have known these things, you are blessed if you may do them;

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

(Psalm 41:1–13)

I do not speak concerning you all; I have known whom I chose for Myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with Me, lifted up his heel against Me.

From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, you may believe that I AM;

truly, truly, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, receives Me; and he who is receiving Me, receives Him who sent Me.”

Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will deliver Me up”;

the disciples were looking, therefore, at one another, doubting concerning of whom He speaks.

And there was one of His disciples reclining in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

Simon Peter, then, beckons to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom He speaks,

and that one having leaned back on the breast of Jesus, responds to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

Jesus answers, “It is that one to whom I, having dipped the morsel, will give it”; and having dipped the morsel, He gives [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

And after the morsel, then Satan entered into that one. Jesus, therefore, says to him, “What you do—do quickly”;

and none of those reclining to eat knew for what intent He said this to him,

for certain [of them] were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus says to him, “Buy what we have need of for the celebration”; or that he may give something to the poor;

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

Love One Another

(Romans 12:9–13; 1 John 3:11–24)

When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus says, “Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in Him;

if God was glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself; indeed, He will immediately glorify Him.

Little children, yet a little [while] am I with you; you will seek Me, and according as I said to the Jews, I also say to you now: To where I go away, you are not able to come.

A new command I give to you, that you love one another; according as I loved you, that you also love one another;

in this will all know that you are My disciples, if you may have love one to another.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; Luke 22:31–38)

Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, to where do You go away?” Jesus answered him, “To where I go away, you are not able now to follow Me, but afterward you will follow Me.”

Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You now? I will lay down my life for You”;

Jesus answered him, “You will lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you may deny Me three times.”

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.

During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.

Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”

Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”

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.”

Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

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.”

For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”

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?

You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

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

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.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

(Psalm 41:1–13)

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)

From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.

Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”

When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”

The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.

One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast.

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”

He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

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.

After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.

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.

Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

Love One Another

(Romans 12:9–13; 1 John 3:11–24)

When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.

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.

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

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)

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.”

Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

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.
