11 For he knew who would betray him. This is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

THE MEANING OF FOOT WASHING

12 When Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer clothing, he reclined again and said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are speaking rightly, since that is what I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.b 15 For I have given you an example,c that you also should do just as I have done for you.

16 “Truly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master,A,d and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.e

18 “I’m not speaking about all of you; I know those I have chosen.f But the Scriptureg must be fulfilled:h The one who eats my breadB has raised his heel against me.C,i 19 I am telling you now before it happens,j so that when it does happen you will believek that I am he.l 20 Truly I tell you, whoever receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receivesm me receives him who sent me.”

JUDAS’S BETRAYAL PREDICTED

21 Whenn Jesus had said this, he was troubled in his spirito and testified,p “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”

22 The disciples started looking at one another—uncertain which one he was speaking about. 23 One of his disciples, the one Jesus loved,q was reclining close beside Jesus.* 24 Simon Peter motioned to him to find out who it was he was talking about. 25 So he leaned back against Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus replied, “He’s the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it.”r When he had dipped the bread,s he gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.E 27 After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satant entered him. So Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”

28 None of those reclining at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Since Judasu kept the money-bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,”v or that he should give something to the poor. 30 After receiving the piece of bread, he immediately left. And it was night.w
