Now before the Feast of athe Passover, Jesus, knowing that bHis hour had come that He would depart from this world cto the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them 1to the end.Or to the uttermost; or eternallyJohn 2:13; 11:55John 12:23John 13:3; 16:28 2 And during supper, athe devil having already put into the heart of bJudas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,John 6:70; 13:27John 6:71 3 Jesus, aknowing that the Father had handed all things over to Him, and that bHe had come forth from God and was going back to God,John 3:35John 8:42 4 *got up from supper and *laid His outer garments aside; and He took a towel and atied it around Himself.Luke 12:37; 17:8
5 Then He *poured water into the basin, and began awashing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself.Gen 18:4; 19:2; 43:24; Judg 19:21; Luke 7:44; 1 Tim 5:10 6 So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, You are washing my feet?” 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not realize right now, but you will understand alater.”John 13:12ff 8 Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “aIf I do not wash you, byou have no 1place with Me.”Or partPs 51:2, 7; Ezek 36:25; Acts 22:16; 1 Cor 6:11; Heb 10:22Deut 12:12; 2 Sam 20:1; 1 Kin 12:16 9 Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; otherwise he is completely clean. And ayou are clean—but 1not all of you.”I.e., not each oneJohn 15:3; Eph 5:26 11 For aHe knew the one who was betraying Him; it was for this reason that He said, “Not all of you are clean.”John 6:64; 13:2
12 Then, when He had washed their feet, and ataken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you?John 13:4 13 You call Mea ‘Teacher’ andb ‘Lord’; and 1you are correct, for so I am.Lit you say wellJohn 11:28John 11:2; 1 Cor 12:3; Phil 2:11 14 So if I, athe Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.John 11:2; 1 Cor 12:3; Phil 2:11 15 For I gave you aan example, so that you also would do just as I did for you.1 Pet 5:3 16 Truly, truly I say to you, aa slave is not greater than his master, nor is 1bone who is sent greater than the one who sent him.Gr apostolos used in a non-apostolic senseMatt 10:24; Luke 6:40; John 15:202 Cor 8:23; Phil 2:25 17 If you know these things, you are ablessed if you do them.Matt 7:24ff; Luke 11:28; James 1:25 18 aI am not speaking about all of you. I know the ones whom I have bchosen; but this is happening cso that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘dHE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.’John 13:10fJohn 6:70; 15:16, 19John 15:25; 17:12; 18:32; 19:24, 36Ps 41:9; Matt 26:21ff; Mark 14:18f; Luke 22:21ff; John 13:21, 22, 26 19 From now on aI am telling you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that bI am He.John 14:29; 16:4John 8:24 20 Truly, truly I say to you, athe one who 1receives anyone I send, 2receives Me; and the one who 3receives Me 4receives Him who sent Me.”Or acceptsMatt 10:40; Mark 9:37; Luke 9:48; 10:16; Gal 4:14
21 When Jesus had said these things, He abecame troubled in spirit, and 1testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that bone of you will 2betray Me.”I.e., made a solemn assertionOr hand Me overJohn 11:33Matt 26:21f; Mark 14:18ff; Luke 22:21ff; John 13:18, 22, 26 22 The disciples began looking at one another, aat a loss to know of which one He was speaking.Matt 26:21ff; Mark 14:18ff; Luke 22:21ff; John 13:18, 21, 26 23 Lying back on aJesus’ chest was one of His disciples, bwhom Jesus loved.John 1:18John 19:26; 20:2; 21:7, 20 24 So Simon Peter *nodded to this disciple and *said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.” 25 He then simply aleaned back on Jesus’ chest and *said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”John 21:20 26 Jesus then *answered, “That man is the one for whom I shall dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread, He *took and *gave it to Judas, athe son of Simon Iscariot.John 6:71 27 After 1this, aSatan then bentered him. Therefore Jesus *said to him, “What you are doing, do it quickly.”Lit the pieceMatt 4:10Luke 22:3; John 13:2 28 Now none of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29 For some were assuming, since Judas akept the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we need bfor the feast”; or else, that he was to 1cgive something to the poor.Considered especially fitting at PassoverJohn 12:6John 13:1John 12:5 30 So after receiving the piece of bread, he left immediately; and ait was night.Luke 22:53
31 Therefore when he had left, Jesus *said, “Now 1is athe Son of Man bglorified, and cGod 2is glorified in Him;Or wasMatt 8:20John 7:39John 14:13; 17:4; 1 Pet 4:11 32 1if God is glorified in Him, aGod will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.Most early mss do not contain this phraseJohn 17:1 33 aLittle children, I am still with you ba little longer. cYou will look for Me; and just as I said to the 1Jews, now I also say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’I.e., Jesus’ Jewish enemies1 John 2:1John 7:33John 7:34 34 I am giving you a anew commandment, bthat you love one another; cjust as I have loved you, that you also love one another.John 15:12, 17; 1 John 2:7f; 3:11, 23; 2 John 5Lev 19:18; Matt 5:44; Gal 5:14; 1 Thess 4:9; Heb 13:1; 1 Pet 1:22; 1 John 4:7Eph 5:2; 1 John 4:10f 35 aBy this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”1 John 3:14; 4:20
36 Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “aWhere I am going, you cannot follow Me now; but byou will follow later.”John 13:33; 14:2; 16:5John 21:18f; 2 Pet 1:14 37 Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? aI will lay down my life for You.”John 13:37, 38: <IT>Matt 26:33-35; Mark 14:29-31; Luke 22:33-34</IT> 38 Jesus *replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me?
