CHAPTER 13.
1 BEFORE the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing
that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father:
having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2 And when supper was done, (the devil having now put
into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,)
3 Knowing that the Father had given him all things into
his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God;
4 He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments,
and having taken a towel, girded himself.
5 After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began
to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he
was girded.
6 He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith
to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do thou
knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet.
Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but
also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not
but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who he was that would betray him;
therefore he said: You are not all clean.
12 Then after he had washed their feet, and taken his
garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to
you?
13 You call me Master, and Lord; and you say well, for
so I am.
14 If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed
your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that as I have done
to you, so you do also.
16 Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater
than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
17 If you know these things, you shall be blessed if
you 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, shall
lift up his heel against me.
19 At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that
when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
20 Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth
whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that
sent me.
21 When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in
spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, one of you shall
betray me.
22 The disciples therefore looked one upon another,
doubting of whom he spoke.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his
disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to
him: Who is it of whom he speaketh?
25 He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith
to him: Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread
dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the
son of Simon.
27 And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And
Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said
this unto him.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that
Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival
day: or that he should give something to the poor.
30 He therefore having received the morsel, went out
immediately. And it was night.
31 When he therefore 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 also will glorify
him in himself; and immediately will he glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
You shall seek me; and as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so
I say to you now.
34 A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one
another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that you are my
disciples, if you have love one for another.
36 Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou?
Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt
follow hereafter.
37 Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I
will lay down my life for thee.
38 Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for
me? Amen, amen I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me
thrice.
