Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour had come that He would depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

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.

And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

Jesus, knowing that the Father had handed all things over to Him, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God,

Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

got up from supper and laid His outer garments aside; and He took a towel and tied it around Himself.

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

Then He poured water into the basin, and began washing the disciples' feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself.

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.

So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, You are washing my feet?"

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing, you do not realize right now, but you will understand later."

Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no place with Me."

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!"

Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; otherwise he is completely clean. And you are clean—but not all of you."

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.

For He knew the one who was betraying Him; it was for this reason that He said, "Not all of you are clean."

For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

Then, when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done for you?

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?

"You call Me 'Teacher' and 'Lord'; and you are correct, for so I am.

Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

"So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

"For I gave you an example, so that you also would do just as I did for you.

For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

"Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

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.

"If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

"I am not speaking about all of you. I know the ones whom I have chosen; but this is happening so that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'

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.

"From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that I am He.

Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

"Truly, truly I say to you, the one who receives anyone I send, receives Me; and the one who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

When Jesus had said these things, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."

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.

The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

Lying back on Jesus' chest was one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

So Simon Peter nodded to this disciple and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking."

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

He then simply leaned back on Jesus' chest and said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"

He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

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, the son of Simon Iscariot.

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.

After this, Satan then entered him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you are doing, do it quickly."

And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

Now none of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

For some were assuming, since Judas kept the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we need for the feast"; or else, that he was to give something to the poor.

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.

So after receiving the piece of bread, he left immediately; and it was night.

He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

Therefore when he had left, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;

Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

"Little children, I am still with you a little longer. You will look for Me; and just as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you: 'Where I am going, you cannot come.'

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.

"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

"By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another."

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later."

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.

Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You."

Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

Jesus replied, "Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

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.
