At supper Jesus washes his disciples' feet. He foretells his betrayal, and Judas goes out into the night. Jesus gives a new commandment to love one another and warns Peter that he will deny him.
1 Now before the feast of the passover , when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father , having loved his own which were in the world , he loved them unto the end .
2 And supper being ended , the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot , Simon's son, to betray him ;
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands , and that he was come from God , and went to God ;
4 He riseth from supper , and laid aside his garments ; and took a towel , and girded himself .
5 After that he poureth water into a bason , and began to wash the disciples ' feet , and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded .
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter : and Peter saith unto him , Lord , dost thou wash my feet ?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him , What I do thou knowest not now ; but thou shalt know hereafter .
8 Peter saith unto him , Thou shalt never wash my feet . Jesus answered him , If I wash thee not , thou hast no part with me .
9 Simon Peter saith unto him , Lord , not my feet only , but also my hands and my head .
10 Jesus saith to him , He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet , but is clean every whit : and ye are clean , but not all .
11 For he knew who should betray him ; therefore said he , Ye are not all clean .
12 So after he had washed their feet , and had taken his garments , and was set down again , he said unto them , Know ye what I have done to you ?
13 Ye call me Master and Lord : and ye say well ; for so I am .
14 If I then , your Lord and Master , have washed your feet ; ye also ought to wash one another's feet .
15 For I have given you an example , that ye should do as I have done to you .
16 Verily , verily , I say unto you , The servant is not greater than his lord ; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him .
17 If ye know these things , happy are ye if ye do them .
18 I speak not of you all : I know whom I have chosen : but that the scripture may be fulfilled , He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me .
19 Now I tell you before it come , that , when it is come to pass , ye may believe that I am he.
20 Verily , verily , I say unto you , He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me ; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me .
21 When Jesus had thus said , he was troubled in spirit , and testified , and said , Verily , verily , I say unto you , that one of you shall betray me .
22 Then the disciples looked one on another , doubting of whom he spake .
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus ' bosom one of his disciples , whom Jesus loved .
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him , that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake .
25 He then lying on Jesus ' breast saith unto him , Lord , who is it ?
26 Jesus answered , He it is , to whom I shall give a sop , when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop , he gave it to Judas Iscariot , the son of Simon .
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him . Then said Jesus unto him , That thou doest , do quickly .
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him .
29 For some of them thought , because Judas had the bag , that Jesus had said unto him , Buy those things that we have need of against the feast ; or , that he should give something to the poor .
30 He then having received the sop went immediately out : and it was night .
31 Therefore , when he was gone out , Jesus said , Now is the Son of man glorified , and God is glorified in him .
32 If God be glorified in him , God shall also glorify him in himself , and shall straightway glorify him .
33 Little children , yet a little while I am with you . Ye shall seek me : and as I said unto the Jews , Whither I go , ye cannot come ; so now I say to you .
34 A new commandment I give unto you , That ye love one another ; as I have loved you , that ye also love one another .
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples , if ye have love one to another .
36 Simon Peter said unto him , Lord , whither goest thou? Jesus answered him , Whither I go , thou canst not follow me now ; but thou shalt follow me afterwards .
37 Peter said unto him , Lord , why cannot I follow thee now ? I will lay down my life for thy sake .
38 Jesus answered him , Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake ? Verily , verily , I say unto thee , The cock shall not crow , till thou hast denied me thrice .
