JOHN 13
1344
41 Isaiah was referring to Jesus when he said this,
because he saw the future and spoke of the Messiah’s glory. 42 Many people did believe in him, however, including some of the Jewish leaders. But they
wouldn’t admit it for fear that the Pharisees would
expel them from the synagogue. 43 For they loved
human praise more than the praise of God.
44 Jesus shouted to the crowds, “If you trust me,
you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent
me. 45 For when you see me, you are seeing the one
who sent me. 46 I have come as a light to shine in this
dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will
no longer remain in the dark. 47 I will not judge those
who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to
save the world and not to judge it. 48 But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of
judgment by the truth I have spoken. 49 I don’t speak
on my own authority. The Father who sent me has
commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50And
I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say
whatever the Father tells me to say.”
Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew
that his hour had come to leave this world and
return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them
to the very end.* 2 It was time for supper, and the
devil had already prompted Judas,* son of Simon
Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father
had given him authority over everything and that
he had come from God and would return to God. 4 So
he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped
a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a
basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.
6 When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to
him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I
am doing, but someday you will.”
8 “No,” Peter protested, “you will never ever wash
my feet!”
Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”
9 Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands
and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”
10 Jesus replied, “A person who has bathed all over
does not need to wash, except for the feet,* to be
entirely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not
all of you.” 11 For Jesus knew who would betray him.
That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you
are clean.”
12 After washing their feet, he put on his robe
again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand
13
what I was doing? 13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’
and you are right, because that’s what I am. 14And
since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your
feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. 15 I have
given you an example to follow. Do as I have done
to you. 16 I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater
than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message. 17 Now
that you know these things, God will bless you for
doing them.
Jesus Predicts His Betrayal
“I am not saying these things to all of you; I know
the ones I have chosen. But this fulfills the Scripture
that says, ‘The one who eats my food has turned
against me.’* 19 I tell you this beforehand, so that
when it happens you will believe that I Am the
Messiah.* 20 I tell you the truth, anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me, and anyone
who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who
sent me.”
21 Now Jesus was deeply troubled,* and he exclaimed, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray
me!”
22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering
whom he could mean. 23 The disciple Jesus loved was
sitting next to Jesus at the table.* 24 Simon Peter motioned to him to ask, “Who’s he talking about?” 25 So
that disciple leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord,
who is it?”
26 Jesus responded, “It is the one to whom I give the
bread I dip in the bowl.” And when he had dipped
it, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. 27 When
Judas had eaten the bread, Satan entered into him.
Then Jesus told him, “Hurry and do what you’re
going to do.” 28 None of the others at the table knew
what Jesus meant. 29 Since Judas was their treasurer,
some thought Jesus was telling him to go and pay
for the food or to give some money to the poor. 30 So
Judas left at once, going out into the night.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
As soon as Judas left the room, Jesus said, “The time
has come for the Son of Man* to enter into his glory,
and God will be glorified because of him. 32And since
God receives glory because of the Son,* he will give
his own glory to the Son, and he will do so at once.
33 Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer.
And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for
me, but you can’t come where I am going. 34 So now
I am giving you a new commandment: Love each
other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each
other. 35 Your love for one another will prove to the
world that you are my disciples.”

13:1 Or he showed them the full extent of his love. 13:2 Or the devil had already intended for Judas. 13:10 Some manuscripts
do not include except for the feet. 13:18 Ps 41:9. 13:19 Or that the ‘I Am’ has come; or that I am the Lord; Greek reads that I am.
See Exod 3:14. 13:21 Greek was troubled in his spirit. 13:23 Greek was reclining on Jesus’ bosom. The “disciple Jesus loved”
was probably John. 13:31 “Son of Man” is a title Jesus used for himself. 13:32 Several early manuscripts do not include And
since God receives glory because of the Son.
