Now
before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew
that his hour was come that he should depart out
of this world unto the Father, having loved his
own which were in the world, he loved them unto
the end.
02 And supper being ended, the devil having now
put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's
son, to betray him;
03 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all
things into his hands, and that he was come from
God, and went to God;
04 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his
garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
05 After that he poureth water into a bason, and
began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe
them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
06 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith
unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
07 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I
do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know
hereafter.
08 Peter saith unto him, Thou
shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I
wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
09 Simon Peter saith unto him,
Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my
head.
10 Jesus saith to him, He that
is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but
is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not
all.
11 For he knew who should betray
him; therefore said he, Ye are
not all clean.
12 So after he had washed their
feet, and had taken his garments, and was set
down again, he said unto them,Know ye
what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me Master and
Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14 If I then, your Lord and
Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to
wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an
example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say
unto you, The servant is not greater than his
lord; neither he that is sent greater than he
that sent him.
17 If ye know these things,
happy are ye if ye 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
hath lifted up his heel against me.
19 Now I tell you before it
come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may
believe that I am he.

20 Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send
receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth
him that sent me.
21 When Jesus had thus said, he
was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall
betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one
on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of
his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he
should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him,
Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I
shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when
he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas
Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then
said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do
quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew
for what intent he spake this unto him.
29 For some of them thought, because Judas had
the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those
things that we have need of against the feast;
or, that he should give something to the poor.
30 He then having received the sop went
immediately out: and it was night.
31 Therefore, when he 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 shall also glorify him in himself, and
shall straightway glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a
little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and
as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot
come; so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give
unto you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men
know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love
one to another.
36 Simon Peter said unto him,
Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither
I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou
shalt follow me afterwards.
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why
cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life
for thy sake.
38 Jesus answered him, Wilt
thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow,
till thou hast denied me thrice.
