John 13:1–16:33
1 Now before the Feast of athe Passover, Jesus knowing that bHis hour had come that He would depart out of this world cto the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them 1to the end.
2 During supper, athe devil having already put into the heart of bJudas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,
3 Jesus, aknowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that bHe had come forth from God and was going back to God,
4 * got up from supper, and * laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He agirded Himself.
Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
5 Then He * poured water into the basin, and began to awash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
6 So He * came to Simon Peter. He * said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?”
7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand ahereafter.”
8 Peter * said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “aIf I do not wash you, byou have no part with Me.”
9 Simon Peter * said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”
10 Jesus * said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ayou are clean, but not all of you.”
11 For aHe knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 So when He had washed their feet, and ataken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
13 “You call Me aTeacher and bLord; and 1you are right, for so I am.
14 “If I then, athe Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 “For I gave you aan example that you also should do as I did to you.
16 “Truly, truly, I say to you, aa slave is not greater than his master, nor is bone who is sent greater than the one who sent him.
17 “If you know these things, you are ablessed if you do them.
18 “aI do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have bchosen; but it is cthat the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘dHe who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’
19 “From now on aI am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that bI am He.
20 “Truly, truly, I say to you, ahe who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”
21 When Jesus had said this, He abecame troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that bone of you will 1betray Me.”
22 The disciples began looking at one another, aat a loss to know of which one He was speaking.
23 There was reclining on aJesus’ bosom one of His disciples, bwhom Jesus loved.
24 So Simon Peter * gestured to him, and * said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.”
25 He, aleaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, * said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus then * answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He * took and * gave it to Judas, athe son of Simon Iscariot.
27 After the morsel, aSatan then bentered into him. Therefore Jesus * said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28 Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.
29 For some were supposing, because Judas ahad the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of bfor the feast”; or else, that he should cgive something to the poor.
30 So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and ait was night.
31 Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus * said, “Now 1is athe Son of Man bglorified, and cGod 1is glorified in Him;
32 1if God is glorified in Him, aGod will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.
33 “aLittle children, I am with you ba little while longer. cYou will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
34 “A anew commandment I give to you, bthat you love one another, ceven as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 “aBy this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36 Simon Peter * said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “aWhere I go, you cannot follow Me now; but byou will follow later.”
37 Peter * said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? aI will lay down my life for You.”
38 Jesus * answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, aa rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.
1 “aDo not let your heart be troubled; 1believe in God, believe also in Me.
2 “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for aI go to prepare a place for you.
3 “If I go and prepare a place for you, aI will come again and receive you to Myself, that bwhere I am, there you may be also.
4 “And you know the way where I am going.”
5 aThomas * said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?”
6 Jesus * said to him, “I am athe way, and bthe truth, and cthe life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
7 “aIf you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you bknow Him, and have cseen Him.”
8 aPhilip * said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
9 Jesus * said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? aHe who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 “Do you not believe that aI am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? bThe words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.
11 “Believe Me that aI am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise bbelieve because of the works themselves.
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and agreater works than these he will do; because bI go to the Father.
13 “aWhatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that bthe Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 “If you ask Me anything ain My name, I will do it.
15 “aIf you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
16 “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another 1aHelper, that He may be with you forever;
17 that is athe Spirit of truth, bwhom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; aI will come to you.
19 “1aAfter a little while bthe world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; cbecause I live, you will live also.
20 “aIn that day you will know that bI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
21 “aHe who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and bhe who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will cdisclose Myself to him.”
22 aJudas (not Iscariot) * said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened bthat You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “aIf anyone loves Me, he will bkeep My word; and cMy Father will love him, and We dwill come to him and make Our abode with him.
24 “He who does not love Me adoes not keep My words; and bthe word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
25 “These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you.
26 “But the aHelper, the Holy Spirit, bwhom the Father will send in My name, cHe will teach you all things, and dbring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
27 “aPeace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. bDo not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
28 “aYou heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and bI will come to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because cI go to the Father, for dthe Father is greater than I.
29 “Now aI have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.
30 “I will not speak much more with you, for athe ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;
31 but so that the world may know that I love the Father, 1I do exactly as athe Father commanded Me. Get up, blet us go from here.
Jesus Is the Vine—Followers Are Branches
1 “aI am the true vine, and My Father is the bvinedresser.
2 “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He 1prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
3 “aYou are already 1clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 “aAbide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit 1of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he abears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
6 “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is athrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, aask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8 “My aFather is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so 1bprove to be My disciples.
9 “Just as athe Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.
10 “aIf you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as bI have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
11 “aThese things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your bjoy may be made full.
Disciples’ Relation to Each Other
12 “This is aMy commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
13 “aGreater love has no one than this, that one blay down his life for his friends.
14 “You are My afriends if byou do what I command you.
15 “No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for aall things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.
16 “aYou did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bbear
