Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

1 Now ⁿbefore ^othe Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that ^phis hour had come ^qto depart out of this world to the Father, ^rhaving loved ^shis own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 During supper, when ^tthe devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing ^uthat the Father had given all things into his hands, and that ^vhe had come from God and ^wwas going back to God, 4 rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, ^xtied it around his waist. 5 Then he ^ypoured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7 ^zJesus answered him, “What I am doing ^ayou do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8 ^bPeter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, ^c“If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, ^dexcept for his feet,¹ but is completely clean. And ^eyou² are clean, ^fbut not every one of you.” 11 ^gFor he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 When he had washed their feet and ^hput on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, ⁱ“Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 ^jYou call me ^kTeacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^lyou also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, ^mthat you also should do just as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁿa servant³ is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, ^oblessed are you if you do them. 18 ^pI am not speaking of all of you; I know ^qwhom I have chosen. But ^rthe Scripture will be fulfilled,^{4 s}‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 ^tI am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^uwhoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, ^vJesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, ^w“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^xone of you will betray me.” 22 ^yThe disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 ^zOne of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table ^aat Jesus’ side,⁵ 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus⁶ of whom he was speaking. 25 ^bSo that disciple, ^cleaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, ^d“It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread ^ewhen I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, ^fhe gave it to Judas, ^gthe son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, ^hSatan entered into him. Jesus said to him, ⁱ“What you are going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, ^jbecause Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need ^kfor the feast,” or that he should ^lgive something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. ^mAnd it was night.

A New Commandment

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, ⁿ“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and ^oGod is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, ^pGod will also glorify him in himself, and ^qglorify him at once. 33 Little children, ^ryet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just ^sas I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ 34 ^tA new commandment ^uI give to you, ^vthat you love one another: ^wjust as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 ^xBy this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” ^yJesus answered him, “Where I am going ^zyou cannot follow me now, ^abut you will follow afterward.” 37 ^bPeter said to him, “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, truly, I say to you, ^cthe rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

1 ^d“Let not your hearts be troubled. ^eBelieve in God;⁷ believe also in me. 2 In ^fmy Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that ^gI go to prepare a place for you?⁸ 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you ^hto myself, that ⁱwhere I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”⁹ 5 ^jThomas said to him, “Lord, ^kwe do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am ^lthe way, and ^mthe truth, and ⁿthe life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 ^oIf you had known me, you would have ^pknown my Father also.¹⁰ From now on you do know him and ^qhave seen him.”

8 ^rPhilip said to him, “Lord, ^sshow us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? ^tWhoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that ^uI am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ^vI do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that ^uI am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else ^wbelieve on account of the works themselves.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^xwhoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I ^yam going to the Father. 13 ^zWhatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that ^athe Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 ^zIf you ask me¹¹ anything in my name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 ^b“If you love me, you will ^ckeep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another ^dHelper,¹² to be with you forever, 17 even ^ethe Spirit of truth, ^fwhom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and ^gwill be¹³ in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; ^hI will come to you. 19 ⁱYet a little while and the world will see me no more, but ^jyou will see me. ^kBecause I live, you also will live. 20 ^lIn that day you will know that ^mI am in my Father, and ⁿyou in me, and ^oI in you. 21 ^pWhoever has my commandments and ^qkeeps them, he it is who loves me. And ^rhe who loves me ^swill be loved by my Father, and I will love him and ^tmanifest myself to him.” 22 ^uJudas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it ^vthat you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, ^w“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and ^xwe will come to him and ^ymake our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And ^zthe word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the ^aHelper, the Holy Spirit, ^bwhom the Father will send in my name, ^che will teach you all things and ^dbring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 ^ePeace I leave with you; ^fmy peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. ^gLet not your hearts be troubled, neither ^hlet them be afraid. 28 ⁱYou heard me say to you, ^j‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I ^kam going to the Father, for ^lthe Father is greater than I. 29 And ^mnow I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for ⁿthe ruler of this world is coming. ^oHe has no claim on me, 31 but I do ^pas the Father has commanded me, ^qso that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
