(It was) now just before the vvv Passover Feast , - (and) Jesus knew that His - hour had come to leave ... this - world (and return) to the Father. Having loved (His) own who (were) in the world , He loved them to (the) very end.
- The evening meal was underway , (and) the devil {had} already put into the heart of Judas , (the son) of Simon Iscariot , to betray (Jesus).
(Jesus) knew that the Father had delivered - all things into (His) hands , and that He had come from God and was returning to - God.
(So) He got up from the supper , - laid aside (His) outer garments , and - wrapped a towel {around} His {waist}.
After that , He poured water into - a basin and began to wash the vvv disciples’ feet and dry (them) with the towel that was around Him.
- He came to Simon Peter - , who asked Him , “ Lord , vvv are You going to wash my - feet ? ”
Jesus replied ... ... ... , “ You {do} not realize now what I am doing , but vvv later you will understand. ”
“ Never ... shall You wash my - feet - - - ! ” Peter - told Him. Jesus answered - , “ Unless ... I wash you , you have no part with Me. ”
“ (Then,) Lord , ” Simon Peter - replied - , “ not only my - feet , but (my) hands and (my) head as well ! ”
- Jesus told him , “ Whoever has already bathed - - needs only ... to wash (his) feet , (and) - he will be completely clean. And you are clean , though not all (of you). ”
For He knew who would betray Him. That is why ... He said , - “ Not all of you are clean. ”
- When (Jesus) had washed their - feet and put on His - outer garments , - He reclined with them again (and) asked ... , “ Do you know what I have done for you ?
You call Me - Teacher and - Lord , and rightly (so) , because I am.
So if I , (your) Lord and - Teacher , have washed your - feet , you also should wash - one another’s feet.
- I have set you an example so that you - should do as I have done for you.
Truly , truly , I tell you , no servant is greater than his - master , nor (is) a messenger greater than the (one who) sent him.
If you know these things , you will be blessed if you do them.
I am not speaking - about all of you ; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture : ‘ The one who shares My - bread has lifted up his - heel against Me.’
I am telling you - now before - it happens , so that when it comes to pass , you will believe that I am (He).
Truly , truly , I tell you , whoever receives vvv the one I send receives Me , and whoever receives Me receives the (One who) sent Me. ”
- (After) Jesus had said (this) , He became troubled - in spirit and testified ... ... , “ Truly , truly , I tell you , - one of you will betray Me. ”
The disciples looked at one another , perplexed as to which of them He meant.
One of - His disciples , the one whom - Jesus loved , was reclining at - - (His) side.
So Simon Peter - motioned to him to ask (Jesus) which one - - - He was talking about.
- - Leaning back against ... ... ... ... Jesus , he asked - , “ Lord , who is it ? ”
- - Jesus answered , “ It is the (one) to whom I - give (this) morsel after I have dipped (it). ” Then He dipped the morsel and vvv gave (it) to Judas (son) of Simon Iscariot.
(And when Judas had taken) ... the morsel , - - Satan entered into him. Then - Jesus said to (Judas) , “ What you are about to do , do quickly. ”
But no one - (at the table) knew why ... (Jesus) had said this to him.
Since Judas kept the money bag , - some thought that - Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast , or to give something to the poor.
- As soon as he had received ... the morsel , (Judas) went out - (into the) night.
- When (Judas) had gone out , Jesus said , “ Now the Son - of Man is glorified , and - God is glorified in Him.
If - God is glorified in Him , - God vvv will also glorify (the Son) in Himself — and will glorify Him at once.
Little children , I am with you only a little while longer. You will look for Me , and as I said to the Jews , so now I say to you - : ‘ Where I am going , you vvv cannot come. ’
A new commandment I give you : - Love one another. As I have loved you , so you also must love one another.
By this everyone will know that you are My disciples , if vvv you love - one another. ”
“ Lord , where are You going ? ” Simon Peter - asked -. Jesus answered - , “ Where I am going , vvv you cannot follow Me now , but you will follow later. ”
“ Lord , ” - said Peter - - , “ why ... vvv can’t I follow You now ? I will lay down my - life for You. ”
“ Will you lay down your - life for Me ? ” Jesus replied. “ Truly , truly , I tell you , (before) ... ... (the) rooster crows , - you will deny Me three times. (’’)
