John 13:13–38

¹³You call me Master and Lord. And you say well: for so I am.

¹⁴If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

¹⁵For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.

¹⁶Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.

¹⁸I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me,

¹⁹At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.

²⁰Amen, amen, I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me: and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

²¹When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you shall betray me.

²²The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke.

²³Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

²⁴Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him and said to him: Who is it of whom he speaketh?

²⁵He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, who is it?

²⁶Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

²⁷And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly.

²⁸Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said this unto him.

²⁹For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor.

³⁰He therefore, having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night.

³¹When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified; and God is glorified in him.

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

³³Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me. And as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to you now.

³⁴A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

³⁵By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

³⁶Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now: but thou shalt follow hereafter.

³⁷Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

³⁸Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen, I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice.
