John - Chapter 13

	Jhn 13:1	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.
	Jhn 13:2	And supper being ended, [fn] the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray Him,
	Jhn 13:3	Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
	Jhn 13:4	rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
	Jhn 13:5	After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel with which He was girded.
	Jhn 13:6	Then He came to Simon Peter. And [Peter] said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"
	Jhn 13:7	Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."
	Jhn 13:8	Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."
	Jhn 13:9	Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head!"
	Jhn 13:10	Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash [his] feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."
	Jhn 13:11	For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."
	Jhn 13:12	So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
	Jhn 13:13	"You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for [so] I am.
	Jhn 13:14	"If I then, [your] Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
	Jhn 13:15	"For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
	Jhn 13:16	"Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
	Jhn 13:17	"If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
	Jhn 13:18	"I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with Me [fn] has lifted up his heel against Me.' [fn]
	Jhn 13:19	"Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am [He].
	Jhn 13:20	"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
	Jhn 13:21	When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."
	Jhn 13:22	Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.
	Jhn 13:23	Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
	Jhn 13:24	Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
	Jhn 13:25	Then, leaning back [fn] on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"
	Jhn 13:26	Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped [it]." And having dipped the bread, He gave [it] to Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.
	Jhn 13:27	Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
	Jhn 13:28	But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.
	Jhn 13:29	For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, "Buy [those things] we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.
	Jhn 13:30	Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.
	Jhn 13:31	So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
	Jhn 13:32	"If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately.
	Jhn 13:33	"Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to you.
	Jhn 13:34	"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
	Jhn 13:35	"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
	Jhn 13:36	Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward."
	Jhn 13:37	Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake."
	Jhn 13:38	Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.
