10 Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ayou are clean, but not all of you.”
11 For aHe knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”
12 So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you1know what I have done to you?
13aYou call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
14aIf I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, byou also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15For aI have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
16aMost assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17aIf you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Jesus Identifies His Betrayer
18“I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the aScripture may be fulfilled, b‘He who eats bread with Mehas lifted up his heel against Me.’
19aNow I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.
20aMost assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”
21aWhen Jesus had said these things, bHe was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, cone of you will betray Me.”
22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.
23 Now athere was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
25 Then, leaning1 back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to aJudas Iscariot, theson of Simon.
27aNow after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.
29 For some thought, because aJudas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy thosethings we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.
The New Commandment
31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, a“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and bGod is glorified in Him.
32If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and aglorify Him immediately.
33Little children, I shall be with you a alittle while longer. You will seek Me; band as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.
34aA new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35aBy this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I aam going you cannot follow Me now, but byou shall follow Me afterward.”
37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will alay down my life for Your sake.”
