John 13:1-17 in English

¹ Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

² And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto God,

⁴ riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself.

⁵ Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

⁶ So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter.

⁸ Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

¹² So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

¹⁴ If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

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

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.

¹ Before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knew that His time had come that He should depart out of this world to the Father. Having sincerely loved His own who were in the world, He sincerely loved them to the end.

² Supper was finished, and the Devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Jesus.

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given everything into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

⁴ got up from supper, laid aside His outer garment, and wrapped a towel around His waist.

⁵ Then He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around Him.

⁶ Then He came to Simon Peter, and Peter asked Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?”

⁷ Jesus answered, “You don’t understand what I am doing now, but you will know after this.”

⁸ Peter told Him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”

⁹ Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not just my feet, but also my hands and my head!”

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to wash their feet, but is completely clean; and most of you are clean, but not all of you.”

¹¹ For He knew who would betray Him, therefore He said, “You aren’t all clean.”

¹² When He had washed their feet, He put on His outer garment and sat down again. He asked them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

¹³ You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right in saying so, for so I am.

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

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

¹⁶ Most assuredly, I tell you, a servant isn’t greater than his master, nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

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

¹ Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

² And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;

³ Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

⁴ He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

⁵ After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

⁶ Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

⁸ Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

¹² So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

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

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

¹ Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

² And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto God,

⁴ riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself.

⁵ Then he poureth water into the bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

⁶ So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter.

⁸ Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

¹² So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me, Master, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

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

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

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.

¹ When it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and to return to his Father in heaven. He loved us who were his disciples. He knew we would continue to live here in this world, so now he showed us how completely he loved us.

² We were eating the Passover meal. ◄The devil/Satan► had already suggested to Judas ◄Iscariot/the man from Kerioth village►, the son of Simon, that he should ◄betray Jesus/enable Jesus' enemies to seize him►.

³ But Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority to control the situation. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.

⁴ But before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other. So he got up from where he was eating. He took off his outer cloak and wrapped a long towel around his waist, as a slave would do.

⁵ Then he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.

⁶ When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you RHQ to humble yourself by washing my feet!”

⁷ Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand the meaning of what I am doing, but you will understand later.”

⁸ Peter said, “I will never, ever, allow you to wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue ◄to be my disciple/to belong to me►.”

⁹ So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, in that case, do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, too!”

¹⁰ Then, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins MET, Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads. The rest of their bodies are clean. Similarly, I have made you disciples free/clean from the guilt of your sins, although not all of you are free from guilt.”

¹¹ He knew which one of us was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”

¹² After he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?

¹³ You show that you respect me by calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.

¹⁴ But if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to serve each other by doing things like washing each other's feet.

¹⁵ I have made myself an example for you in order that you should humbly serve each other as I have done for you.

¹⁶ Listen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other.

¹⁷ Since you now know these things, God will be pleased with you if you do them.”

¹ Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

² During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

⁴ arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.

⁵ Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

⁶ Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”

⁷ Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”

⁸ Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”

⁹ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

¹¹ For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”

¹² So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

¹³ You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.

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

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

¹⁶ Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

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

¹ Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

² During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,

⁴ arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.

⁵ Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

⁶ Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”

⁷ Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”

⁸ Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”

⁹ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

¹¹ For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”

¹² So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

² During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

⁴ arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.

⁶ Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”

⁷ Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”

⁸ Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”

⁹ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

¹¹ For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”

¹² So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

¹⁶ Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

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

¹ Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

² So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

³ Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

⁴ Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.

⁵ Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.

⁶ So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?

⁷ And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

⁸ Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.

¹¹ (He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

¹² Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?

¹³ You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

¹⁴ If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.

¹⁵ I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

¹⁶ Truly I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; and he who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him.

¹⁷ If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them.

¹ Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end.

² And during supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon, Iscariote, that he should deliver him up,

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came out from God and was going to God,

⁴ rises from supper and lays aside his garments, and having taken a linen towel he girded himself:

⁵ then he pours water into the washhand basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the linen towel with which he was girded.

⁶ He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and he says to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou dost not know now, but thou shalt know hereafter.

⁸ Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus says to him, He that is washed all over needs not to wash save his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew him that delivered him up: on account of this he said, Ye are not all clean.

¹² When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye know what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for I am so.

¹⁴ If I therefore, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet;

¹⁵ for I have given you an example that, as I have done to you, ye should do also.

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say to you, The bondman is not greater than his lord, nor the sent greater than he who has sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.

¹ Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

² And when supper was done, (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,)

³ Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God;

⁴ He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself.

⁵ After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

⁶ He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

⁸ Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.

¹² Then after he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?

¹³ You call me Master, and Lord; and you say well, for so I am.

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

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

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

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

¹ Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

² And after supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

⁴ He rose from supper and laid aside His garments, and having taken a towel, He girded Himself.

⁵ Then He poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to dry them with the towel with which He was girded.

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

⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.”

⁸ Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.”

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

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, “He that is bathed need only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”

¹¹ For He knew who would betray Him; for this reason He said, “You are not all clean.”

¹² So when He had washed their feet, and had taken His garments, He reclined again, and said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

¹³ You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say correctly, for so I am.

¹⁴ Therefore if I, your Lord and your Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

¹⁵ For I gave you an example, that just as I did to you, you also should do.

¹⁶ Most assuredly I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than he who sent him.

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

¹ Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world He loved them to the end.

² And after supper (the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him),

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given everything into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

⁴ He gets up from the meal and lays aside His garments, and taking a towel He tied it around Himself.

⁵ Then He poured water into the basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel with which He was wrapped.

⁶ So He comes to Simon Peter, and he says to Him, “Lord, you wash my feet?!”

⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know by experience after this.”

⁸ Peter says to Him, “You will never ever wash my feet!!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.”

⁹ Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!”

¹⁰ Jesus says to him: “One who is bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you (pl) are clean, but not all of you.”

¹¹ (He knew who was betraying Him; that is why He said, “Not all of you are clean.”)

¹² So when Jesus had washed their feet and put His garments back on, He reclined again and said to them: “Do you know what I have done to you?

¹³ You address me as ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’, and you speak correctly, because I am.

¹⁴ So then, if I, Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

¹⁵ Because I have given you an example, so that you also should do just as I did to you.

¹⁶ “Most assuredly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his owner, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

¹⁷ If you understand these things, you are blessed if you do them.

¹ It was the day before the Passover festival, and Jesus knew that the time had come to leave this world and go to his Father. He had loved those in the world who were his own, and he now demonstrated his complete and utter love for them.

² It was during supper, and the devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

³ Jesus knew that the Father had placed everything under his authority, and that he had come from God and was going back to God.

⁴ So Jesus stood up from eating supper, took off his robe and wrapped a towel around his waist.

⁵ He poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had wrapped around him.

⁶ He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

⁷ Jesus replied, “You won't realize what I'm doing for you now. But one day you'll understand.”

⁸ “No!” Peter protested. “You'll never wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “If I don't wash you, you have no part with me.”

⁹ “Then, Lord, wash not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Simon Peter exclaimed.

¹⁰ Jesus responded, “Those who have had a bath only need to wash their feet and then they're clean all over. You are clean—but not all of you.”

¹¹ For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

¹² After Jesus had washed their feet, he put his robe back on, and sat down. “Do you understand what I've done to you?” he asked them.

¹³ “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that's who I am.

¹⁴ So if I, your Teacher and Lord, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.

¹⁵ I have set you an example, so you should do just as I did.

¹⁶ I tell you the truth, servants are not more important than their master, and the one sent is not greater than the sender.

¹⁷ Now that you understand these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

¹ Nowe before the feast of the Passeouer, when Iesus knewe that his houre was come, that he should depart out of this world vnto the Father, forasmuch as he loued his owne which were in the world, vnto the end he loued them.

² And when supper was done (and that the deuill had now put in the heart of Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne, to betray him)

³ Iesus knowing that the Father had giuen all things into his hands, and that he was come forth from God, and went to God,

⁴ He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his vpper garments, and tooke a towel, and girded himselfe.

⁵ After that, hee powred water into a basen, and began to wash the disciples feete, and to wipe them with the towell, wherewith he was girded.

⁶ Then came he to Simon Peter, who sayd to him, Lord, doest thou wash my feete?

⁷ Iesus answered and sayd vnto him, What I doe, thou knowest not nowe: but thou shalt knowe it hereafter.

⁸ Peter said vnto him, Thou shalt neuer wash my feete. Iesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt haue no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter sayd vnto him, Lord, not my feete onely, but also the hands and the head.

¹⁰ Iesus sayd to him, He that is washed, needeth not, saue to wash his feete, but is cleane euery whit: and ye are cleane, but not all.

¹¹ For hee knewe who should betray him: therefore sayd he, Ye are not all cleane.

¹² So after he had washed their feete, and had taken his garments, and was set downe againe, he sayd vnto them, Knowe ye what I haue done to you?

¹³ Ye call me Master, and Lord, and ye say well: for so am I.

¹⁴ If I then your Lord, and Master, haue washed your feete, ye also ought to wash one an others feete.

¹⁵ For I haue giuen you an example, that ye should doe, euen as I haue done to you.

¹⁶ Verely, verely I say vnto you, The seruant is not greater then his master, neither the ambassadour greater then he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, blessed are ye, if ye doe them.

¹ Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

² And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;

³ Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

⁴ he riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

⁵ After that, he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

⁶ Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

⁸ Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

¹² So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

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

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

¹ Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them unto the end.

² And supper being served,—the Devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,—

³ he, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,

⁴ riseth from the supper, and layeth aside his garments, and took a towel, and girded himself.

⁵ Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

⁶ So he cometh to Simon Peter; who saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou wilt know hereafter.

⁸ Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that hath bathed needeth not to wash himself, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew who was about to betray him; for this reason he said, Ye are not all clean.

¹² So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and placed himself again at the table, he said to them, Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me the Teacher, and the Lord; and ye say well; for so I am.

¹⁴ If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

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

¹⁶ Truly, truly do I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord, nor one who is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

¹ Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave the world and go to the Father. He had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.

² The devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;

³ and at supper, Jesus — although knowing that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was to return to God —

⁴ Rose from his place, and, taking off his upper garments, tied a towel around his waist.

⁵ He then poured some water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel which was tied around him.

⁶ When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said, “You, Master! Are you going to wash my feet?”

⁷ “You do not understand now what I am doing,” replied Jesus, “but you will learn by and by.”

⁸ “You will never wash my feet!” exclaimed Peter. “Unless I wash you,” answered Jesus, “you have nothing in common with me.”

⁹ “Then, Master, not my feet only,” exclaimed Simon Peter, “but also my hands and my head.”

¹⁰ “He who has bathed,” replied Jesus, “has no need to wash, unless it be his feet, but is altogether clean; and you,” he said to the disciples, “are clean, yet not all of you.”

¹¹ For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said ‘You are not all clean.’

¹² When he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments and taken his place, he spoke to them again. “Do you understand what I have been doing to you?” he asked.

¹³ “You yourselves call me ‘the teacher’ and ‘the Master’, and you are right, for I am both.

¹⁴ If I, then — ‘the Master’ and ‘the teacher’ — have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet;

¹⁵ for I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.

¹⁶ In truth I tell you, a servant is not greater than their master, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sends them.

¹⁷ Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.

¹ Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave the world and go to the Father. He had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.

¹⁷ Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.

¹ Now before the festival of the Pesac ·Passover· (Nissan 14), Yeshua Salvation, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to haAbba ·the Father·, having agapao ·total devoted love· for his own who were in the world, he showed agapao ·total devotion love· to them unto the end.

² During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot Praised Dagger-man, Simeon Hearing’s son, to betray him,

³ Yeshua Salvation, knowing that haAbba ·the Father· had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and was going to God,

⁴ arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

⁵ Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

⁶ Then he came to Simeon Peter Hearing Rock. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”

⁷ Yeshua Salvation answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”

⁸ Peter Rock said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Yeshua Salvation answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”

⁹ Simeon Peter Hearing Rock said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

¹⁰ Yeshua Salvation said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

¹¹ For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”

¹² So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

¹³ You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.

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

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

¹⁶ Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

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

¹ Before the feast of ester when Iesus knewe that his houre was come that he shuld departe out of this worlde vnto the father. When he loved his which were in the worlde vnto the ende he loved them.

² And when supper was ended after that the devyll had put in the hert of Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne to betraye him:

³ Iesus knowinge that the father had geve all thinges into his hondes. And that he was come from God and went to God

⁴ he rose from supper and layde a syde his vpper garmentes and toke a towell and gyrd him selfe.

⁵ After that poured he water into a basyn and beganne to wash his disciples fete and to wype them with the towell wherwith he was gyrde.

⁶ Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde to him: Lorde shalt thou wesshe my fete?

⁷ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: what I do thou wotest not now but thou shalt knowe herafter.

⁸ Peter sayd vnto him: thou shalt not wesshe my fete whill the worlde stondeth. Iesus answered him: yf I wasshe the not thou shalt have no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter sayde vnto him: Lorde not my fete only: but also my handes and my heed.

¹⁰ Iesus sayde to him: he that is wesshed nedeth not save to wesshe his fete and is clene every whit. And ye are clene: but not all.

¹¹ For he knewe his betrayer. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all clene.

¹² After he had wesshed their fete and receaved his clothes and was set doune agayne he sayde vnto them? wot ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me master and Lorde and ye saye well for so am I.

¹⁴ If I then youre Lorde and master have wesshed youre fete ye also ought to wesshe one anothers fete.

¹⁵ For I have geven you an ensample that ye shuld do as I have done to you.

¹⁶ Verely verely I saye vnto you the servaunt is not greater then his master nether the messenger greater then he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye vnderstonde these thinges happy are ye yf ye do them.

¹ Now it was before the Festival of the Passover. Jesus knew that his hour had come to go out of this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

² Now the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot son of Simon, to betray Jesus.

³ He knew that the Father had given everything over into his hands and that he had come from God and was going back to God.

⁴ He got up from dinner and took off his outer clothing. Then he took a towel and wrapped it around himself.

⁵ Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and dry them with the towel that he had put around himself.

⁶ He came to Simon Peter, and Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand this later.”

⁸ Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.”

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

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but he is completely clean; you are clean, but not everyone.”

¹¹ (For Jesus knew who would betray him; that is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”)

¹² So when Jesus had washed their feet and taken his garments and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you?

¹³ You call me 'teacher' and 'Lord,' and you are speaking correctly, because so I am.

¹⁴ If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you should also wash the feet of one another.

¹⁵ For I have given you an example so that you should also do just as I did for you.

² And when the supper was made, when the devil had put then into the heart, that Judas of Simon Iscariot should betray him, And the supper made, when the devil had sent now into the heart of Judas of Simon Iscariot, that he should betray him,

³ he witting that the Father gave all things to him into his hands, and that he went out from God, and goeth to God,

⁴ he riseth from the supper, and doeth off his clothes; and when he had taken a linen cloth, he girded him.

⁵ And afterward he put water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe with the linen cloth, with which he was girded.

⁶ And so he came to Simon Peter, and Peter saith to him, Lord, washest thou my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered, and said to him, What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know afterward.

⁸ Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered to him, If I shall not wash thee, thou shalt not have part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not only my feet, but both the hands and the head.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is washed, hath no need but that he wash the feet, but he is all clean; and ye be clean, but not all.

¹² And so after that he had washed their feet, he took his clothes; and when he was set to meat again, again he said to them, Ye know what I have done to you, or Know ye what I have done to you?.

¹³ Ye call me Master and Lord, and ye say well; for I am.
