John 13:12–38

¹²When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, ‘Do ye know what I have done to you? ¹³ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am; ¹⁴if then I did wash your feet—the Lord and the Teacher—ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

¹⁵‘For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do; ¹⁶verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him; ¹⁷if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them.

¹⁸Not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel. ¹⁹‘From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am he; ²⁰verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.’ ²¹These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;’ ²²the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh. ²³And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving; ²⁴Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh, ²⁵and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, ‘Sir, who is it?’ ²⁶Jesus answereth, ‘That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;’ and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot. ²⁷And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, ‘What thou dost—do quickly;’ ²⁸and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him, ²⁹for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, ‘Buy what we have need of for the feast;’ or that he may give something to the poor; ³⁰having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

³¹When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, ‘Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him; ³²if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

³³‘Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews—Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now.

³⁴‘A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another; ³⁵in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.’

³⁶Simon Peter saith to him, ‘Sir, whither dost thou go away?’ Jesus answered him, ‘Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.’ ³⁷Peter saith to him, ‘Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;’ ³⁸Jesus answered him, ‘Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.’
