The Concordant Literal New Testament

John’s Account

Chapter 13

¹ Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus, being aware that His hour came that He may be proceeding out of this world to the Father, loving His own who are in the world, He loves them to the consummation.
² And at the coming of dinner, the Adversary already having cast into the heart of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, that he may be giving Him up,
³ Jesus, being aware that the Father has given all into His hands, and that He came out from God and is going away to God,
⁴ is rising from dinner and is laying down His garments, and, getting a cloth, He girds Himself.
⁵ Thereafter He is draining water into the basin, and begins washing the feet of the disciples and wiping them off with the cloth with which He was girded.
⁶ He is coming, then, to Simon Peter. And he is saying to Him, "Lord, Thou art washing my feet!"
⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you are not aware at present, yet you will know after these things."
⁸ Peter is saying to Him, "Under no circumstances shouldst Thou be washing my feet for the eon!" Jesus answered him, "If ever I should not be washing you, you are having no part with Me."
⁹ Simon Peter is saying to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but the hands also and the head!"
¹⁰ Jesus is saying to him, "He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but is wholly clean. And you are clean, but not all."
¹¹ For He was aware who is giving Him up. Therefore He said that "Not all of you are clean."
¹² When, then, He washes their feet, and took His garments and leans back again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
¹³ You are shouting to Me 'Teacher!' and 'Lord!' and you are saying ideally, for I am.
¹⁴ If, then, I, the Lord and the Teacher, wash your feet, you also ought to be washing one another's feet.
¹⁵ For an example have I given you, that, according as I do to you, you also may be doing.
¹⁶ "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, A slave is not greater than his lord, neither is an apostle greater than He Who sends him.
¹⁷ If you are aware of these things, happy are you if you should be doing them!
¹⁸ Not concerning all of you am I speaking, for I am aware whom I choose, but that the scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who is masticating bread with Me lifts up his heel against Me.'
¹⁹ Henceforth I am speaking to you before it is occurring, that you should be believing, whenever it may be occurring, that I am.
²⁰ "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, whoever is taking anyone I shall be sending, is taking Me; yet he who is taking Me is taking Him Who sends Me."
²¹ These things saying, Jesus was disturbed in spirit, and testifies and said, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that one of you will be giving Me up."
²² The disciples, then, looked at one another, being perplexed concerning whom He is speaking.
²³ Now one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying back in the bosom of Jesus.
²⁴ Simon Peter, then, is nodding to this one to ascertain whoever he may be, concerning whom He said it, and is saying to him, "Tell us whoever it is concerning whom He is saying this."
²⁵ That one, then, leaning back thus on the chest of Jesus, is saying to Him, "Lord, who is it?"
²⁶ Jesus, then, is answering and saying, "He it is to whom I, dipping in the morsel, shall be handing it." Dipping in the morsel, then, He is taking it and giving it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.
²⁷ And after the morsel, then, Satan entered into that man. Jesus, then, is saying to him, "What you are doing, do more quickly."
²⁸ Now no one of those lying back at table knew to what purpose He said this to him.
²⁹ For some supposed, since Judas had the coffer, that Jesus is saying to him, "Buy what we have need of for the festival," or, that he may be giving something to the poor.
³⁰ Getting the morsel, then, that man came out straightway. Now it was night.
³¹ When, then, he came out, Jesus is saying, "Now is the Son of Mankind glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
³² If God is glorified in Him, God also shall be glorifying Him in Himself and shall straightway be glorifying Him.
³³ "Little children, still a little time am I with you. You shall be seeking Me, and, according as I said to the Jews that 'Where I am going you can not be coming,' at present I am saying it to you also.
³⁴ "A new precept am I giving to you, that you be loving one another; according as I love you, that you also be loving one another.
³⁵ By this all shall be knowing that you are My disciples, if you should be having love for one another."
³⁶ Simon Peter is saying to Him, "Lord, whither art Thou going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I am going, you can not follow Me now, yet you shall be following subsequently."
³⁷ Peter is saying to Him, "Lord, wherefore can not I follow Thee at present? My soul for Thy sake will I lay down."
³⁸ Jesus is answering, "Your soul for My sake you will be laying down? Verily, verily, I am saying to you, Under no circumstances should a cock be crowing till you will be renouncing Me thrice.
