John 13

"

And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;

"
"

Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

"
"

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

"
"

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.

"
"

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

"
"

Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

"
"

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

"
"

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

"
"

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.

"
"

For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

"
"

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?

"
"

Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

"
"

If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

"
"

For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

"
"

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.

"
"

If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

"
"

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.

"
"

Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

"
"

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

"
"

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.

"
"

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

"
"

Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

"
"

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

"
"

He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

"
"

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.

"
"

And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

"
"

Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

"
"

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.

"
"

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

"
"

Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

"
"

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

"
"

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.

"
"

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

"
"

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

"
"

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.

"
"

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

"
"

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.
