1Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
1Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2And when supper was done, (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,)
2During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
3Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God;
3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself.
4arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
5Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
6Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
7Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
7Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
8Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.
8Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”
9Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.
9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
10Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.
10Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”
11For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.
11For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
12Then after he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?
12So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
13You call me Master, and Lord; and you say well, for so I am.
13You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
14If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
14If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.
15For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
16Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
16Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me, shall lift up his heel against me.
18I don’t 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.’
19At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
19From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
20Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
20Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
21When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, one of you shall betray me.
21When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke.
22The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
23One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
24Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him: Who is it of whom he speaketh?
24Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
25He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, who is it?
25He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
26Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly.
27After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said this unto him.
28Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
29For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor.
29For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30He therefore having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night.
30Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
31When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
31When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself; and immediately will he glorify him.
32If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
33Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me; and as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to you now.
33Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
34A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
34A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
35By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow hereafter.
36Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
37Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
37Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
38Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice.
38Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
