John 13:8-34

⁸Peter 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.

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

¹⁰Jesus 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.)

¹²Then, 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?

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

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

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

¹⁶Truly 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.

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

¹⁸I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

¹⁹From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

²⁰Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.

²¹When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

²²Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.

²³There was at table one of his disciples, the one dear to Jesus, resting his head on Jesus' breast.

²⁴Making a sign to him, Simon Peter said, Who is it he is talking about?

²⁵He, then, resting his head on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?

²⁶This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

²⁷And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

²⁸Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.

²⁹Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

³⁰So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.

³¹Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.

³²If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.

³³My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

³⁴I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.
