John 13:13–38

¹³Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for I am so. ¹⁴If I therefore, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet; ¹⁵for I have given you an example that, as I have done to you, ye should do also. ¹⁶Verily, verily, I say to you, The bondman is not greater than his lord, nor the sent greater than he who has sent him. ¹⁷If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.

¹⁸I speak not of you all. I know those whom I have chosen; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me. ¹⁹I tell you it now before it happens, that when it happens, ye may believe that I am he. ²⁰Verily, verily, I say to you, He who receives whomsoever I shall send receives me; and he that receives me receives him who has sent me. ²¹Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up. ²²The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke. ²³Now there was at table one of his disciples in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴Simon Peter makes a sign therefore to him to ask who it might be of whom he spoke. ²⁵But he, leaning on the breast of Jesus, says to him, Lord, who is it? ²⁶Jesus answers, He it is to whom I, after I have dipped the morsel, give it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas son of Simon, Iscariote. ²⁷And, after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou doest, do quickly. ²⁸But none of those at table knew why he said this to him; ²⁹for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰Having therefore received the morsel, he went out immediately; and it was night.

³¹When therefore he was gone out Jesus says, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³²If God be glorified in him, God also shall glorify him in himself, and shall glorify him immediately. ³³Children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go ye cannot come, I say to you also now. ³⁴A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ³⁵By this shall all know that ye are disciples of mine, if ye have love amongst yourselves.

³⁶Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me after. ³⁷Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. ³⁸Jesus answers, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice.
