John 13

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Before the feast day of the Passover, Jesus knew that the hour was approaching when he would pass from this world to the Father. And since he had always loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.	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.
2 And when the meal had taken place, when the devil had now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,	2 The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper,
3 knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he came from God and was going to God,	3 fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God,
4 he rose up from the meal, and he set aside his vestments, and when he had received a towel, he wrapped it around himself.	4 he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist.
5 Next he put water into a shallow bowl, and he began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he was wrapped.	5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.
6 And then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, “Lord, would you wash my feet?”	6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Master, are you going to wash my feet?"
7 Jesus responded and said to him: “What I am doing, you do not now understand. But you shall understand it afterward.”	7 Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later."
8 Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you will have no place with me.”	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."
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Then Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!”	9 Simon Peter said to him, "Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well."
10 Jesus said to him: “He who is washed need only wash his feet, and then he will be entirely clean. And you are clean, but not all.”	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."
11 For he knew which one would betray him. For this reason, he said, “You are not all clean.”	11 For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, "Not all of you are clean."
12 And so, after he washed their feet and received his vestments, when he had sat down at table again, he said to them: “Do you know what I have done for you?	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?
13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you speak well: for so I am.	13 You call me 'teacher' and 'master,' and rightly so, for indeed I am.
14 Therefore, if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another.	14 If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, so that just as I have done for you, so also should you do.	15 I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.
16 Amen, amen, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his Lord, and the apostle is not greater than he who sent him.	16 Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 If you understand this, you shall be blessed if you will do it.	17 If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.
18 I am not speaking about all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But this is so that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me shall lift up his heel against me.’	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.'
19 And I tell you this now, before it happens, so that when it has happened, you may believe that I am.	19 From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM.
20 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives anyone whom I send, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives him who sent me.”	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."
21 When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit. And he bore witness by saying: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that one among you shall betray 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."
22 Therefore, the disciples looked around at one another, uncertain about whom he spoke.	22 The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant.
23 And leaning against the bosom of Jesus was one of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved.	23 One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus' side.
24 Therefore, Simon Peter motioned to this one and said to him, “Who is it that he is speaking about?”	24 So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant.
25 And so, leaning against the chest of Jesus, he said to him, “Lord, who is it?”	25 He leaned back against Jesus' chest and said to him, "Master, who is it?"
26 Jesus responded, “It is he to whom I shall extend the dipped bread.” And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.	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.
27 And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”	27 After he took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."
28 Now none of those sitting at table knew why he had said this to him.	28 (Now) none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him.
29 For some were thinking that, because Judas held the purse, that Jesus had told him, “Buy those things which are needed by us for the feast day,” or that he might give something to the needy.	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.
30 Therefore, having accepted the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night.	30 So he took the morsel and left at once. And it was night.
31 Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said: “Now the Son of man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.	31 When he had left, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God has been glorified in him, then God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him without delay.	32 (If God is glorified in him,) God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once.
33 Little sons, for a brief while, I am with you. You shall seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go,’ so also I say to you now.	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.
34 I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also must you love one another.	34 I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.
35 By this, all shall recognize that you are my disciples: if you will have love for one another.”	35 This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus responded: “Where I am going, you are not able to follow me now. But you shall follow afterward.”	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."
37 Peter said to him: “Why am I unable to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!”	37 Peter said to him, "Master, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
38 Jesus answered him: “You will lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the rooster will not crow, until you deny me three times.”	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."
