NEW AMERICAN BIBLENEW JERUSALEM
1 Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.1 Before the festival of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come to pass from this world tothe Father, having loved those who were his in the world, loved them to the end.
2 The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper,2 They were at supper, and the devil had already put it into the mind of Judas Iscariot son of Simon, tobetray him.
3 fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God,3 Jesus knew that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God andwas returning to God,
4 he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist.4 and he got up from table, removed his outer garments and, taking a towel, wrapped it round his waist;
5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.5 he then poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with thetowel he was wearing.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Master, are you going to wash my feet?"6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, 'Lord, are you going to wash my feet?'
7 Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later."7 Jesus answered, 'At the moment you do not know what I am doing, but later you wil understand.'
8 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me."8 'Never!' said Peter. 'You shal never wash my feet.' Jesus replied, 'If I do not wash you, you can haveno share with me.' Simon Peter said,
9 Simon Peter said to him, "Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well."9 'Well then, Lord, not only my feet, but my hands and my head as wel !'
10 Jesus said to him, "Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all."10 Jesus said, 'No one who has had a bath needs washing, such a person is clean all over. You too areclean, though not all of you are.'
11 For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, "Not all of you are clean."11 He knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said, 'though not al of you are'.
12 So when he had washed their feet (and) put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, "Do you realize what I have done for you?12 When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments again he went back to the table. 'Doyou understand', he said, 'what I have done to you?
13 You call me 'teacher' and 'master,' and rightly so, for indeed I am.13 You cal me Master and Lord, and rightly; so I am.
14 If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.14 If I, then, the Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you must wash each other's feet.
15 I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.15 I have given you an example so that you may copy what I have done to you.
16 Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him.16 'In al truth I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, no messenger is greater than the one whosent him.
17 If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.17 'Now that you know this, blessed are you if you behave accordingly.
18 I am not speaking of all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But so that the scripture might be fulfilled, 'The one who ate my food has raised his heel against me.'18 I am not speaking about al of you: I know the ones I have chosen; but what scripture says must befulfil ed: 'He who shares my table takes advantage of me.
19 From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM.19 I tel you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am He.
20 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me."20 In all truth I tell you, whoever welcomes the one I send, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me,welcomes the one who sent me.'
21 When he had said this, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, "Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me."21 Having said this, Jesus was deeply disturbed and declared, 'In al truth I tel you, one of you is goingto betray me.'
22 The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant.22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he meant.
23 One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus' side.23 The disciple Jesus loved was reclining next to Jesus;
24 So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant.24 Simon Peter signed to him and said, 'Ask who it is he means,'
25 He leaned back against Jesus' chest and said to him, "Master, who is it?"25 so leaning back close to Jesus' chest he said, 'Who is it, Lord?'
26 Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I hand the morsel after I have dipped it." So he dipped the morsel and (took it and) handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot.26 Jesus answered, 'It is the one to whom I give the piece of bread that I dip in the dish.' And when hehad dipped the piece of bread he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
27 After he took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."27 At that instant, after Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus then said, 'What you aregoing to do, do quickly.'
28 (Now) none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him.28 None of the others at table understood why he said this.
29 Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or to give something to the poor.29 Since Judas had charge of the common fund, some of them thought Jesus was telling him, 'Buy whatwe need for the festival,' or tel ing him to give something to the poor.
30 So he took the morsel and left at once. And it was night.30 As soon as Judas had taken the piece of bread he went out. It was night.
31 When he had left, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.31 When he had gone, Jesus said: Now has the Son of man been glorified, and in him God has beenglorified.
32 (If God is glorified in him,) God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once.32 If God has been glorified in him, God wil in turn glorify him in himself, and wil glorify him very soon.
33 My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, and as I told the Jews, 'Where I go you cannot come,' so now I say it to you.33 Little children, I shal be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and, as I told the Jews,where I am going, you cannot come.
34 I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.34 I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have lovedyou.
35 This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."35 It is by your love for one another, that everyone wil recognise you as my disciples.
36 Simon Peter said to him, "Master, where are you going?" Jesus answered (him), "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later."36 Simon Peter said, 'Lord, where are you going?' Jesus replied, 'Now you cannot fol ow me where I amgoing, but later you shall fol ow me.'
37 Peter said to him, "Master, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."37 Peter said to him, 'Why can I not fol ow you now? I will lay down my life for you.'
38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times."38 'Lay down your life for me?' answered Jesus. 'In al truth I tel you, before the cock crows you wilhave disowned me three times.'
