John 13 KJ2000

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who 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 came from God, and went to God;

4 He rose from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

5 After that he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

6 Then came he to Simon Peter: and Peter said unto him, Lord, do you wash my feet?

7 Jesus answered and said unto him,

8 Peter said unto him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him,

9 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus said to him,

11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he,

12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was seated again, he said unto them,

13 You call me Teacher and Lord: and you say rightly; for so I am.

14 If I then, your Lord and 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 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 you know these things, happy are you if you do them.

Jesus Identifies Judas as His Betrayer

18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.

19 Now I tell you before it comes, that, when it has come to pass, you may believe that I am he.

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receives whomsoever I send receives me; and he that receives me receives him that sent me.

21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said,

22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.

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 spoke.

25 He then lying on Jesus' breast said unto him, Lord, who is it?

26 Jesus answered,

27 And after the morsel Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him,

28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spoke 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 for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

30 He then having received the morsel went immediately out: and it was night.

God and the Son are Glorified

31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said,

32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall immediately glorify him.

33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come; so now I say to you.

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.

Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial

36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, where do you go? Jesus answered him,

37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.

38 Jesus answered him,
