John 13:13–38

^13jYou call me ^kTeacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. ¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^lyou also ought to wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵For I have given you an example, ^mthat you also should do just as I have done to you. ¹⁶Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁿa servant³ is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. ¹⁷If you know these things, ^oblessed are you if you do them. ^18pI am not speaking of all of you; I know ^qwhom I have chosen. But ^rthe Scripture will be fulfilled,^{4 s}‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ ^19tI am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. ²⁰Truly, truly, I say to you, ^uwhoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

One of You Will Betray Me

²¹After saying these things, ^vJesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, ^w“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^xone of you will betray me.” ^22yThe disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. ^23zOne of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table ^aat Jesus’ side,^{5 24}so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus⁶ of whom he was speaking. ^25bSo that disciple, ^cleaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” ²⁶Jesus answered, ^d“It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread ^ewhen I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, ^fhe gave it to Judas, ^gthe son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷Then after he had taken the morsel, ^hSatan entered into him. Jesus said to him, ⁱ“What you are going to do, do quickly.” ²⁸Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. ²⁹Some thought that, ^jbecause Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need ^kfor the feast,” or that he should ^lgive something to the poor. ³⁰So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. ^mAnd it was night.

A New Commandment

³¹When he had gone out, Jesus said, ⁿ“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and ^oGod is glorified in him. ³²If God is glorified in him, ^pGod will also glorify him in himself, and ^qglorify him at once. ³³Little children, ^ryet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just ^sas I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ ^34tA new commandment ^uI give to you, ^vthat you love one another: ^wjust as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ^35xBy this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

³⁶Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” ^yJesus answered him, “Where I am going ^zyou cannot follow me now, ^abut you will follow afterward.” ^37bPeter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” ³⁸Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, ^cthe rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.
