John 13–14

Chapter 13

The Lord’s Supper

¹Now 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.

²During supper, ^athe devil having already put into the heart of ^bJudas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

³Jesus, ^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,

⁴got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He ^agirded Himself.

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

⁵Then 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.

⁶So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?”

⁷Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand ^ahereafter.”

⁸Peter said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “^aIf I do not wash you, ^byou have no part with Me.”

⁹Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”

¹⁰Jesus 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.”

¹¹For ^aHe knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

¹²So 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.”

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

²¹When 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.”

²²The disciples began looking at one another, ^aat a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

²³There was reclining on ^aJesus’ bosom one of His disciples, ^bwhom Jesus loved.

²⁴So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.”

²⁵He, ^aleaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

²⁶Jesus 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.

²⁷After the morsel, ^aSatan then ^bentered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

²⁸Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

²⁹For 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.

³⁰So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and ^ait was night.

³¹Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now ¹is ^athe Son of Man ^bglorified, and ^cGod is glorified in Him;

³²¹if 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.”

³⁶Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “^aWhere I go, you cannot follow Me now; but ^byou will follow later.”

³⁷Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? ^aI will lay down my life for You.”

³⁸Jesus 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.

Chapter 14

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

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.”

^5aThomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?”

⁶Jesus said to him, “I am ^athe way, and ^bthe truth, and ^cthe life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Oneness with the Father

⁷“^aIf you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you ^bknow Him, and have ^cseen Him.”

^8aPhilip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”

⁹Jesus 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.

Role of the Spirit

¹⁶“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another ^1aHelper, that He may be with you forever;

¹⁷that 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.”

^22aJudas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened ^bthat You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?”

²³Jesus 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;

³¹but 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.
