* Now before the feast of the Passover , when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father , having loved His own who were in the world , He loved them to the end . * And after supper , the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot , Simon 's son , to betray Him , * Jesus , knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands , and that He had come from God and was going to God , * He rose from the supper and laid aside His garments , and having taken a towel , He girded Himself . * Then He poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples , and to dry [them ] with the towel with which He was girded . * Then He came to Simon Peter . And Peter said to Him , "Lord , do You wash my feet ?" * Jesus answered and said to him , "What I am doing you do not understand now , but you shall know after this ." * Peter said to Him , "You shall never wash my feet !"Jesus answered him , "Unless I wash you , you have no part with Me ." * Simon Peter said to Him , "Lord , not my feet only , but also my hands and my head !" * Jesus said to him , "He that is bathed need only to wash his feet , but is completely clean ; and you are clean , but not all of you ." * For He knew who would betray Him ; therefore He said , "You are not all clean ." * So when He had washed their feet , and had taken His garments , He reclined again , and said to them , "Do you know what I have done to you ? * You call me Teacher and Lord , and you say correctly , for so I am . * Therefore if I , your Lord and your Teacher , have washed your feet , you also ought to wash one another 's feet . * For I gave you an example , that just as I did to you , you also should do . * Most assuredly I say to you , a servant is not greater than his master , nor a messenger greater than he who sent him . * If you know these things , blessed are you if you do them . * I do not speak concerning all of you . I know [those ] whom I chose ; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled , 'He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me .' * From now [on ] I tell you before it happens , so that when it happens , you may believe that I AM . * Most assuredly I say to you , he who receives whomever I send receives Me ; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me ." * When Jesus had said these things , He was troubled in His spirit , and testified and said , "Most assuredly I say to you , one of you will betray Me ." * Therefore the disciples were looking at one another , perplexed about whom He was speaking . * Now there was reclining on Jesus ' bosom one of His disciples , [the one ]whom Jesus loved . * Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to inquire who it might be about whom He was speaking . * Then , leaning back thus on Jesus ' chest , he said to Him , "Lord , who is it ?" * Jesus answered , "It is the [one ] to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it ."And having dipped the bread , He gave it to Judas Iscariot , the son of Simon . * And after the piece of bread , then Satan entered him . Therefore Jesus said to him , "What you do , do quickly ." * But no one reclining at the table knew for what purpose He said [this ] to him . * For some were thinking , since Judas had the money box , that Jesus was saying to him , "Buy [the ]things of which we need for the feast ,"or that he should give something to the poor . * Therefore having received the piece of bread , he then went out immediately . And it was night . * When he had gone out , Jesus said , "Now the Son of Man has been glorified , and God has been glorified in Him . * If God has been glorified in Him , God will also glorify Him in Himself , and will glorify Him immediately . * Little children , yet a little while I am with you . You will seek Me ; and as I said to the Jews , 'Where I am going , you cannot come ,' so now I say to you . * A new commandment I give to you , that you love one another ; just as I have loved you , that you also love one another . * By this all will know that you are My disciples , if you have love for one another ." * Simon Peter said to Him , "Lord , where are You going ?"Jesus answered him , "Where I am going you cannot follow Me now , but later you will follow Me ." * Peter said to Him , "Lord , why can I not follow You now ? I will lay down my life for You ." * Jesus answered him , "Will you lay down your life for Me ? Most assuredly I say to you , the rooster shall by no means crow till you deny Me three times .
