“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.”
“18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the
scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel
against me. 19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye
may believe that I am [he]. 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth
whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent
me. 21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 Then
the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 23 Now there was
leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter
therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 26 Jesus
answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped [it]. And
when he had dipped the sop, he gave [it] to Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou
doest, do quickly. 28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this
unto him. 29 For some [of them] thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus
had said unto him, Buy [those things] that we have need of against the feast;
or, that he should give something to the poor. 30 He then having received the
sop went immediately out: and it was night.”
“31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man
glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God be glorified in him, God shall
also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 33 Little
children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto
the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. 34 A new
commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that
ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my
disciples, if ye have love one to another.”
“36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus
answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow
me afterwards. 37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I
will lay down my life for thy sake. 38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down
thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow,
till thou hast denied me thrice.” (John 13:1-38 AV)
