MODERN LITERAL VERSION

13:1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that his hour has come that* he should proceed out of this world to his Father, having loved* his own that were in the world, he loved* them to the end.

13:2 And it happened during supper, the Devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, that* he should give him up.

13:3 Jesus, knowing that the Father has given all the things into his hands and that he came forth from God and is going to God,

13:4 arises from supper and places aside his garments, and he took a towel and girded himself.

13:5 Thereafter he puts water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.


13:6 Therefore, he comes to Simon Peter and he says to him, Lord, why are you washing my feet?


13:7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you do not know now, but you will know after this.


13:8 Peter says to him, Never* wash my feet.
Jesus answered him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.


13:9 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.


13:10 Jesus says to him, He who is bathed does not need to wash, other than the feet, but is entirely clean and you* are clean, but not all.

13:11 (For* he knew him who is giving him up.) Then he said, You* are not all clean.


13:12 Therefore, when he had washed their feet and had taken his garments, having leaned-back again, he said to them, You* know what I have done for you*?

13:13 You* address me as the Teacher and, Lord, and you* say well; for* so I am.

13:14 Therefore, if I, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your* feet, you* also ought to wash one another's feet.

13:15 For* I gave you* an example, that* you* also should do like I have done for you*.

13:16 Assuredly, assuredly, I say to you*, A bondservant is not greater than his lord; nor is an apostle greater than he who sent him.

13:17 If you* know these things, you* are fortunate if you* do them.


13:18 I do not speak concerning all of you*. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me, lifted up his heel against me.' {Ps. 41:9}

13:19 From now on I tell you* before it is to happen, that*, whenever it has happened, you* may believe that I am he.

13:20 Assuredly, assuredly, I say to you*, He who receives anyone, whomever I send, receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
{Mk 14:18-21, 27-31 & Mt 26:21-25, 31-35 & Lk 22:21-23, 31-38 & Jn 13:21-38.}


13:21 When Jesus had said these things, he was disturbed in the spirit and testified and said, Assuredly, assuredly, I say to you* that one out of you* will give me up.


13:22 Therefore the disciples looked toward one another, being perplexed concerning whom he is talking about.

13:23 But one of his disciples was reclining on Jesus' bosom, the one whom Jesus loved*.

13:24 Therefore, Simon Peter signals to him to inquire, who it might be, concerning whom he is talking about.

13:25 But he who had leaned upon Jesus' chest says to him, Lord, who is it?


13:26 Jesus answers, It is he, to whom I have dipped the morsel and I will give it to him. So when he had dipped the morsel, he takes it and gives it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.

13:27 And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into him. Therefore Jesus says to him, What you are doing, do quickly.

13:28 (Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose he spoke this to him.

13:29 For* some thought, since Judas had the box, that Jesus said to him, Buy what things we have need of *for the feast; or, that* he should give something to the poor.)

13:30 Therefore, having received the morsel, he went out immediately and it was night.


13:31 Therefore, when he had gone out, Jesus says, Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him;

13:32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and immediately he will glorify him.

13:33 Little children, I am still with you* for a little while. You* will seek me and as I said to the Jews, Where I am going, you* cannot come. Also now I say to you*,

13:34 I am giving to you* a new commandment, that* you* should love* one another; just-as I have loved* you*, that* you* also should love* one another.

13:35 All men will know that you* are my disciples by this, if you* have love* among one another.


13:36 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where are you going?
Jesus answered him, I am going where you cannot follow now, but you will follow me later.


13:37 Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow you even now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.


13:38 Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life on my behalf? Assuredly, assuredly, I say to you, The rooster may never* crow, until you have denied me three times.
{Jn 14-17 Thurs. Night, Friday to the Jews.}
