NEW JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
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.1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2 They were at supper, and the devil had already put it into the mind of Judas Iscariot son of Simon, tobetray him.2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
3 Jesus knew that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God andwas returning to God,3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
4 and he got up from table, removed his outer garments and, taking a towel, wrapped it round his waist;4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5 he then poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with thetowel he was wearing.5 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.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, 'Lord, are you going to wash my feet?'6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered, 'At the moment you do not know what I am doing, but later you wil understand.'7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
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,8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9 'Well then, Lord, not only my feet, but my hands and my head as wel !'9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
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.'10 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.
11 He knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said, 'though not al of you are'.11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
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?12 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?
13 You cal me Master and Lord, and rightly; so I am.13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14 If I, then, the Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you must wash each other's feet.14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 I have given you an example so that you may copy what I have done to you.15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 'In al truth I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, no messenger is greater than the one whosent him.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 'Now that you know this, blessed are you if you behave accordingly.17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
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.18 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.
19 I tel you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am He.19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
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.'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 deeply disturbed and declared, 'In al truth I tel you, one of you is goingto betray me.'21 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.
22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he meant.22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 The disciple Jesus loved was reclining next to Jesus;23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter signed to him and said, 'Ask who it is he means,'24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
25 so leaning back close to Jesus' chest he said, 'Who is it, Lord?'25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
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.26 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.
27 At that instant, after Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus then said, 'What you aregoing to do, do quickly.'27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28 None of the others at table understood why he said this.28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
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.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 against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
30 As soon as Judas had taken the piece of bread he went out. It was night.30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31 When he had gone, Jesus said: Now has the Son of man been glorified, and in him God has beenglorified.31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God has been glorified in him, God wil in turn glorify him in himself, and wil glorify him very soon.32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
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.33 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.
34 I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have lovedyou.34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 It is by your love for one another, that everyone wil recognise you as my disciples.35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
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.'36 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.
37 Peter said to him, 'Why can I not fol ow you now? I will lay down my life for you.'37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
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.'38 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.
