* 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 supper being ended , 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 , * rose from supper and laid aside His garments , took a towel and girded Himself . * After that , He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples ' feet , and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded . * Then He came to Simon Peter . And Peter said to Him , "Lord , are You washing my feet ?" * Jesus answered and said to him , "What I am doing you do not understand now , but you will know after this ." * Peter said to Him , "You shall never wash my feet !" Jesus answered him , "If I do not 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 who is bathed needs 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 , taken His garments , and sat down again , He said to them , "Do you know what I have done to you ? * You call Me Teacher and Lord , and you say well , for so I am . * If I then , your Lord and Teacher , have washed your feet , you also ought to wash one another 's feet . * For I have given you an example , that you should do as I have done to you . * Most assuredly , I say to you , a servant is not greater than his master ; nor is he who is sent 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 whom I have chosen ; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled , "He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me .' * Now I tell you before it comes , that when it does come to pass , you may believe that I am He . * 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 spirit , and testified and said , "Most assuredly , I say to you , one of you will betray Me ." * Then the disciples looked at one another , perplexed about whom He spoke . * Now there was leaning on Jesus ' bosom one of His disciples , whom Jesus loved . * Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke . * Then , leaning back on Jesus ' breast , he said to Him , "Lord , who is it ?" * Jesus answered , "It is he 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 . * Now after the piece of bread , Satan entered him . Then Jesus said to him , "What you do , do quickly ." * But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him . * For some thought , because Judas had the money box , that Jesus had said to him , "Buy those things we need for the feast ," or that he should give something to the poor . * Having received the piece of bread , he then went out immediately . And it was night . * So , when he had gone out , Jesus said , "Now the Son of Man is glorified , and God is glorified in Him . * If God is glorified in Him , God will also glorify Him in Himself , and glorify Him immediately . * Little children , I shall be with you a little while longer . 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 ; 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 you shall follow Me afterward ." * Peter said to Him , "Lord , why can I not follow You now ? I will lay down my life for Your sake ." * Jesus answered him , "Will you lay down your life for My sake ? Most assuredly , I say to you , the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times .
