          DASV: John 13    

1 Now just before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knew that
his hour had come to depart out of this world to his Father.
Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them
to the end.
2 During supper, the devil had already put into the heart of
Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.

3 Jesus, realizing that the Father had given all the things
into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going
back to God,
4 rose from supper and laid aside his outer garments, took a
towel and tied it around himself.
5 Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the
disciples' feet and to wipe them dry with the towel that he
had wrapped around him.

6 When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, "Lord, do
you wash my feet?"
7 Jesus replied, "You don't understand what I'm doing now;
but you will understand it later."
8 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus
answered, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me."
9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also
my hands and my head."
10 Jesus replied, "One who has bathed needs only to wash his
feet, to be totally clean. And you disciples are clean,
but not all of you."
11 For he knew who was going to betray him; which is why he
said, "All of you are not clean."

12 So when he had washed their feet, he put on his clothes,
and sat down again. He said to them, "Do you realize what
I have done to you?
13 You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and you are right; for
that is what I am.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet,
you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that you should do just as
I have done to you.
16 I tell you the truth, a servant is not greater than his
master; neither is a messenger sent greater than the one who
sent him.
17 If you understand these things, blessed are you if you
do them.
18 I am not speaking about all of you; I know the ones I have
chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled that says:
'He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
19 I am telling you this before it happens, so that when it
comes to pass, you may believe that I am he.
20 I tell you the truth, anyone who receives whomever I send
receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me."

21 After Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and
testified, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."
22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he was
talking about.
23 There was at the table reclining next to Jesus, one of his
disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus who he was talking
about.
25 So he, leaning back next to Jesus, asked him, "Lord, who is
it?"
26 Jesus replied, "It is the one to whom I give this piece of
bread." So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he took and
gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 After Judas had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered into
him. Then Jesus said to him, "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 because Judas had the moneybag, that Jesus
said to him, "Buy whatever we need for the feast", or that he
should give something to the poor.
30 So after he had received the piece of bread he went out
immediately. Now it was night.

31 When therefore he had gone, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of
Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God is glorified in him, he will glorify him in himself
and will glorify him right away.
33 Children, I will be with you just a little while longer.
You will seek me and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I go, you
cannot come', so now I am telling you.

34 A new commandment I am giving you, that you love one
another; just as I have loved you, you also should love
one another.
35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you love one another."
36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?"
Jesus replied, "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now;
but you will follow afterward."
37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now?
I will lay down my life for you."
38 Jesus replied, "Will you lay down your life for me? I
tell you the truth, the rooster will not crow, until you
have denied me three times."
