1 Nownch. 12:1 beforeoSee ch. 6:4 the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew thatpSee ch. 12:23 his hour had comeqver. 3; ch. 16:28 to depart out of this world to the Father,rver. 34 having lovedsch. 1:11; 17:6, 9-11 his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 During supper, whentver. 11, 27; [Acts 5:3]; See ch. 6:70, 71 the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowinguSee ch. 17:2; Matt. 11:27; Rev. 2:27 that the Father had given all things into his hands, and thatvch. 8:42; 16:28 he had come from God andwSee ch. 14:12 was going back to God, 4 rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel,x[ch. 21:7; Luke 22:27] tied it around his waist. 5 Then hey[2 Kgs. 3:11] poured 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 z[ver. 36] Jesus answered him, “What I am doingaver. 12; [ch. 12:16; 15:15] you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand. ” 8 b[Matt. 16:22] Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet. ” Jesus answered him, c[1 Cor. 6:11; Eph. 5:26; Titus 3:5; Heb. 10:22] “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,dSee Gen. 18:4 except for his feet, but is completely clean. Andech. 15:3 you are clean,fver. 18 but not every one of you. ” 11 gver. 2; ch. 6:64; See ch. 2:24, 25 For 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 andhver. 4 put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, iver. 7 “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 jLuke 6:46 You call mekMatt. 23:8, 10; 1 Cor. 8:6; 12:3; Phil. 2:11 Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet,l1 Tim. 5:10; [1 Pet. 5:5] you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example,mSee Matt. 11:29 that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you,nch. 15:20; Matt. 10:24 a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things,oSee Luke 11:28; James 1:22 blessed are you if you do them. 18 pver. 10, 11 I am not speaking of all of you; I knowqch. 6:70; 15:16, 19; [Mark 3:13; Luke 6:13; Acts 1:2] whom I have chosen. Butr[ch. 17:12]; See Matt. 1:22 the Scripture will be fulfilled,sCited from Ps. 41:9; [ver. 26; Matt. 26:23] ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me. ’ 19 tch. 14:29; 16:4 I 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,uSee Matt. 10:40 whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. ”
21 After saying these things,vch. 12:27 Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, wMatt. 26:21; Mark 14:18; Luke 22:21 “Truly, truly, I say to you,xActs 1:17 one of you will betray me. ” 22 yLuke 22:23 The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 zch. 19:26; 20:2; 21:7, 20 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at tablea[Luke 16:22 (Gk.)] close to Jesus, 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. 25 bMark 4:36 So that disciple,cch. 21:20 (Gk.) leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it? ” 26 Jesus answered, dMatt. 26:23; Mark 14:20 “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of breadeRuth 2:14 when I have dipped it. ” So when he had dipped the morsel,f[Matt. 26:25] he gave it to Judas,gch. 6:71 the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel,hLuke 22:3; [ver. 2; 1 Cor. 11:27] Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, i[Luke 12:50] “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,jch. 12:6 because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we needkver. 1 for the feast, ” or that he shouldlch. 12:5 give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out.m[1 Sam. 28:8] And it was night.
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, nSee ch. 7:39 “Now is the Son of Man glorified, andoch. 14:13; 15:8; 17:1, 4; 1 Pet. 4:11 God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him,pch. 17:1, 5 God will also glorify him in himself, andqSee ch. 12:23 glorify him at once. 33 Little children,rSee ch. 7:33 yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and justsch. 7:34; 8:21 as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come. ’ 34 t1 John 2:7, 8; 3:11; 2 John 5 A new commandmentuch. 15:12, 17; 1 John 3:23; 4:21 I give to you,vLev. 19:18; Rom. 13:8; Col. 3:14; 1 Thess. 4:9; 1 Tim. 1:5; 1 Pet. 1:22 that you love one another:wch. 15:12; Eph. 5:2; 1 John 4:10, 11 just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 x[1 John 3:14; 4:20] By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. ”
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going? ”y[ver. 7] Jesus answered him, “Where I am goingz[ch. 7:34; 14:2] you cannot follow me now,ach. 21:18, 19; 2 Pet. 1:14 but you will follow afterward. ” 37 bMatt. 26:33-35; Mark 14:29-31; Luke 22:33, 34 Peter 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,cch. 18:27 the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.
