John 13:12–38

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.
