Gospel According to John
13: 1Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come
that he should depart out of this world unto his Father, having loved his own that
were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 13:2And during supper, the devil
having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,
13:3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all the things into his hands, and that he came forth
from God, and goeth unto God, 13:4riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments;
and he took a towel, and girded himself. 13:5Then he poureth water into the basin,
and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith
he was girded. 13:6So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou
wash my feet? 13:7Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not
now; but thou shalt understand hereafter. 13:8Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never
wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
13:9Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my
head. 13:10Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but
is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 13:11For he knew him that should
betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 13:12So when he had washed their
feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye
what I have done to you? 13:13Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say well; for
so I am. 13:14If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also
ought to wash one another's feet. 13:15For I have given you an example, that ye also
should do as I have done to you. 13:16Verily, verily, I say unto you, a servant is not
greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him. 13:17If ye
know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them. 13:18I speak not of you all: I know
whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth my
bread lifted up his heel against me. 13:19From henceforth I tell you before it come to
pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 13:20Verily, verily, I
say unto you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 13:21When Jesus had thus said, he was
troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that
one of you shall betray me. 13:22The disciples looked one on another, doubting of
whom he spake. 13:23There was at the table reclining in Jesus' bosom one of his
disciples, whom Jesus loved. 13:24Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith
unto him, Tell us who it is of whom he speaketh. 13:25He leaning back, as he was,
on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 13:26Jesus therefore answereth, He
it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the
sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 13:27And after the
sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest,
do quickly. 13:28Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto
him. 13:29For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said unto him,
Buy what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give something
to the poor. 13:30He then having received the sop went out straightway: and it was
night. 13:31When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man
glorified, and God is glorified in him; 13:32and God shall glorify him in himself, and
straightway shall he glorify him. 13:33Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so
now I say unto you. 13:34A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one
another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 13:35By this shall
all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. 13:36Simon
Peter saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go,
thou canst not follow now; but thou shalt follow afterwards. 13:37Peter saith unto
him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee.
13:38Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
