1 Before and the feast of the passover, knowing the Jesus, that was come of himself the hour, that he should depart out of the world this to the world, to an end he loved them.

2 And supper being done, (the accuser already having put into the heart Judas of Simon Iscariot, that him he might betray,)

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

4 rises from the supper, and puts off the mantles, and having taken a towel, girded himself.

5 Afterward he puts water into the wash–basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was having been girded.

6 He comes then to Simon Peter; and says to him he: O lord, thou of me washest the feet?

7 Answered Jesus and said to him: What I do, thou not knowest now, thou shalt know but after these things.

8 Says to him Peter: Not not thou mayest wash the feet of me into the age. Answered him the Jesus: If not I may wash thee, thou hast a part of me.

9 Says to him Simon Peter: O lord, not the feet of me alone, but also the hands, and the head.

10 Says to him the Jesus: He having been bathed not need has than the feet to wash, but is clean wholly; and you clean are, but not all.

11 He knew for the betraying him; on account of this he said: Not all clean you are.

12 When therefore he had washed the feet of them, and taken the mantles of himself, falling down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you:

13 You call me: The teacher and the lord; and well you say; I am for.

14 If then I washed of you the feet, the lord and the teacher, also you are bound of one another to wash the feet.

15 An example for I gave to you, that as I did to you, also you should do.

16 Indeed indeed I say to you, not is a slave greater of the lord of himself, nor a messenger greater of the sending him.

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

18 Not about all of you I speak; I know whom I chose; but, that the writing may be fulfilled: He eating with me the loaf, lifted up against me the heel of himself.

19 From now I say to you, before the to happen, that when it may happen, you may believe, that I am.

20 Indeed indeed I say to you: He receiving if any one I may send, me receives; he and me receiving, receives him having sent me.

21 These things saying the Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said: Indeed indeed I say to you, that one of you will betray me.

22 Looked then to each other the disciples, doubting about whom he was speaking.

23 Was now reclining one of the disciples of him in the bosom of the Jesus, whom loved the Jesus.

24 Nods then to him Simon Peter, to ask who it might be concerning of whom he speaks.

25 Falling and he on the breast of the Jesus, he says to him: O lord, who is it?

26 Answers the Jesus: He it is, to whom I have dipped the little piece shall give. And having dipped the little piece, he gives to Judas of Simon Iscariot.

27 And after the little piece, then answered into him the adversary. Says then to him the Jesus: What thou doest, do thou quickly.

28 This now no one knew of those reclining with why he said to him.

29 Some for thought, seeing that the box had the Judas, that says to him the Jesus: Buy what things need we have for the feast; or to the poor that something he should give.

30 Having taken then the little piece he immediately went out; it was and night.

31 When he went out, says the Jesus: Just now was glorified the son of the man, and the God was glorified in him.

32 If the God was glorified in him, also the God will glorify him in himself, and immediately will glorify him.

33 O little children, yet a little with you I am. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews: That where I go, you not are able to come; even to you I say now.

34 A commandment new I give to you, that you may love each other; as I loved you, that also you might love each other.

35 By this will know all that to me disciples you are, if love you have in each other.

36 Says to him Simon Peter: O lord, where goest thou? Answered him the Jesus: Where I go, not thou art able me now to follow; afterwards but thou shalt follow me.

37 Says to him Peter: O lord, why not I am able thee to follow now? the life of me in behalf of thee I will lay down.

38 Answered him the Jesus: The life of thee in behalf of me wilt thou lay down? Indeed indeed I say to thee not not a cock will crow, till not thou wilt deny me thrice.

1 Jesus knew before the feast of the Passover that the time had come for him to leave this world and return to his Father. He loved his own who were in the world to the very end.

2 The devil influenced the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son. So he betrayed him during the meal.

3 Jesus knew that the Father had given him power over all things. He also knew it came from God and he returns it to God.

4 He got up from the meal and laid aside his garments. He wrapped a towel around his waist.

5 Then he poured water into the basin and washed the disciples’ feet. He wiped them with the towel he was wearing.

6 When he approached, Simon Peter said: »Lord do you wash my feet?«

7 »You do not know what I do now,« Jesus said: »but you will understand later.«

8 Peter said: »You will never wash my feet.« Jesus answered him: »If I do not wash you; you have no part with me.«

9 Simon Peter replied: »Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.«

10 Jesus responded: »He that is bathed must wash his feet. He is clean everywhere and you are clean, but not all.«

11 He knew who would betray him. That is why he said you are not all clean.

12 After he washed their feet he put his outer garments on and sat down. He asked: »Do you know what I have done to you?

13 »You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right for I am.

14 »If the Teacher and Lord washed your feet you should wash one another’s feet.

15 »I have given you an example. You should also do as I have done to you.

16 »Truly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master. Neither is one that is sent greater than he that sent him.

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

18 »I do not speak about all of you. I know whom I have chosen! This way the scripture may be fulfilled: ‘He that eats my bread lifted up his heel against me.’«

19 »I tell you before it happens. So that when it takes place you may believe that I am he.

20 »Truly I say to you, he who receives whom ever I send receives me. And he who receives me receives him who sent me.

21 After Jesus said this he was troubled in spirit and said: One of you will betray me.«

22 The disciples looked at each other. They were perplexed and wondered who it would be.

23 The disciple whom Jesus loved was leaning on his chest.

24 Simon Peter motioned to him: »Ask him who it is,« he urged.

25 He leaned back on Jesus’ breast and said to him: »Lord, who is it?«

26 Jesus answered: »It is he to whom I give a piece of bread after I dip it.« So when he dipped the bread he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27 After he was given the piece of bread Satan entered him. Jesus said to him: »Do what you do quickly.«

28 No man at the table knew for what purpose he spoke this to him.

29 Some thought Judas was going to shop for food for the feast or give something to the poor. Judas was in charge of the moneybox.

30 He received the morsel of bread and left immediately. It was night.

31 When he was gone Jesus said: »Now the Son of man is glorified praisedexultedproclaimedhonored and God is glorified through him.

32 »If God is glorified through him, God will also immediately glorify him.

33 »Little children I am with you for a little while. You will seek me and as I told the Jews now I say to you, where I go, you cannot come.

34 »I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

35 »All men will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another.«

36 Simon Peter said: »Lord where are you going?« Jesus answered: »Where I am going you cannot follow me now. You will follow me later.«

37 Peter said: »Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.«

38 Jesus answered: »Will you lay down your life for me? Truly I tell you the cock will not crow till you have denied me three times.«
