John 13 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

The Lord's Supper

Jhn 13:1Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

Jhn 13:2

Jhn 13:2And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

Jhn 13:3

Jhn 13:3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

Jhn 13:4

Jhn 13:4rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel.

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

Jhn 13:5

Jhn 13:5Then 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.

Jhn 13:6

Jhn 13:6He came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

Jhn 13:7

Jhn 13:7Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not know now, but afterward you will understand."

Jhn 13:8

Jhn 13:8Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part in me."

Jhn 13:9

Jhn 13:9Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!"

Jhn 13:10

Jhn 13:10Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not every one of you."

Jhn 13:11

Jhn 13:11For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all clean."

Jhn 13:12

Jhn 13:12When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

Jhn 13:13

Jhn 13:13You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

Jhn 13:14

Jhn 13:14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

Jhn 13:15

Jhn 13:15For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

Jhn 13:16

Jhn 13:16Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

Jhn 13:17

Jhn 13:17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

(Mat 26:21–25; Mar 14:18, 19; Luk 22:21–23 )

Jhn 13:18

Jhn 13:18I am not speaking of you all; I know whom I have chosen; it is that the scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.'

Jhn 13:19

Jhn 13:19I tell you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.

Jhn 13:20

Jhn 13:20Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any one whom I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me."

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

Jhn 13:21

Jhn 13:21When Jesus had thus spoken, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

Jhn 13:22

Jhn 13:22The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

Jhn 13:23

Jhn 13:23One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying close to the breast of Jesus;

Jhn 13:24

Jhn 13:24so Simon Peter beckoned to him and said, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."

Jhn 13:25

Jhn 13:25So lying thus, close to the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

Jhn 13:26

Jhn 13:26Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Jhn 13:27

Jhn 13:27Then after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."

Jhn 13:28

Jhn 13:28Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

Jhn 13:29

Jhn 13:29Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor.

Jhn 13:30

Jhn 13:30So, after receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night.

Jhn 13:31

Jhn 13:31When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and in him God is glorified;

Jhn 13:32

Jhn 13:32if God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.

Jhn 13:33

Jhn 13:33Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, 'Where I am going you cannot come.'

Jhn 13:34

Jhn 13:34A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Jhn 13:35

Jhn 13:35By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

Jhn 13:36

Jhn 13:36Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward."

Jhn 13:37

Jhn 13:37Peter said to him, "Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

Jhn 13:38

Jhn 13:38Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the cock will not crow, till you have denied me three times.
