1 Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knowing that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father, [the case showed that], having loved his own who were in the world, to the end he loved them.
2 And during supper, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot, to betray him,
3 Jesus knew that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,
4 He rose from supper and took off [his outer] clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6 He came to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, O Lord! Dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus said to him: What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet forever. Jesus answered him, If I do not wash you, you have 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 unto him who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; And you are clean, but not all.
eleven For he knew who should betray him; therefore [and] said, are not all clean.
12 When he had washed their feet, and taken His garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should 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 master, nor is a messenger greater one who sent him.
17 If you know this, blessed are ye if ye do.

18 Not about all of you I say; I know whom I have chosen. But the scripture might be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me lifted up his heel against me.
19 Now I tell you before [the] come, that, when it happens, you may believe that I am
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 Having said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you will betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.
23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining on Jesus' bosom.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to ask who it is talking about.
25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord! who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He to whom I shall dip a piece of bread, will file. And having dipped the piece, he gave to Judas of Simon Iscariot.
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28 But no one at the table knew for what intent he said this to him.
29 Because Judas had the bag, some thought that Jesus said to him: Buy what we need for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.
thirty He, having received the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night.

31 When he came out, Jesus said, Now the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him.
33 Children! little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me, and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye can not come, [so] I say to you today.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, [so] 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 to Him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me.
37 Peter said unto him, Lord! why can not I follow thee now? I put my soul for you.
38 Jesus answered him, your soul for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, denied me thrice.
