The Good News According to Yochanan, Chapter 13
{13:1} Now before the feast of the Pesach, Yeshua knowing that his
time 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.
{13:2} After supper, the devil having already put into the heart of
Yehudah from K'riot, Shim`on's son, to betray him, {13:3} Yeshua,
knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that
he came forth from God, and was going to God, {13:4} arose from
supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel, and
wrapped a towel around his waist. {13:5} Then he poured water into the
basin, and began to wash the [1>]talmidim[<1]' feet, and to wipe them
with the towel that was wrapped around him. {13:6} Then he came to
Shim`on Rock. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
{13:7} Yeshua answered him, "You don't know what I am doing now, but
you will understand later."
{13:8} Rock said to him, "You will never wash my feet!"
Yeshua answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me."
{13:9} Shim`on Rock said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also
my hands and my head!"
{13:10} Yeshua said to him, "Someone who has bathed only needs to
have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not
all of you." {13:11} For he knew him who would betray him, therefore
he said, "You are not all clean." {13:12} So when he had washed their
feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to
them, "Do you know what I have done to you? {13:13} You call me,
'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am. {13:14} If I
then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought
to wash one another's feet. {13:15} For I have given you an example,
that you also should do as I have done to you. {13:16} Most assuredly
I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is
sent greater than he who sent him. {13:17} If you know these things,
blessed are you if you do them. {13:18} I don't speak concerning all
of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be
fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against
me.' {13:19} From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it
happens, you may believe that I AM. {13:20} Most assuredly I tell you,
he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me,
receives him who sent me."
{13:21} When Yeshua had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and
testified, "Most assuredly I tell you that one of you will betray me."
{13:22} The [2>]talmidim[<2] looked at one another, perplexed about
whom he spoke. {13:23} One of his [3>]talmidim[<3], whom Yeshua loved,
was at the table, leaning against Yeshua#s breast. {13:24} Shim`on
Rock therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of
whom he speaks."
{13:25} He, leaning back, as he was, on Yeshua#s breast, asked him,
"Lord, who is it?"
{13:26} Yeshua therefore answered, "It is he to whom I will give
this piece of bread when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the
piece of bread, he gave it to Yehudah, the son of Shim`on Ish-K'riot.
{13:27} After the piece of bread, then Hasatan entered into him.
Then Yeshua said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
{13:28} Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.
{13:29} For some thought, because Yehudah had the money box, that
Yeshua said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that
he should give something to the poor. {13:30} Therefore, having
received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
{13:31} When he had gone out, Yeshua said, "Now the Son of Man has
been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. {13:32} If God has
been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he
will glorify him immediately. {13:33} Little children, I will be with
you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the
Yehudim, 'Where I am going, you can't come,' so now I tell you.
{13:34} A new [4>]mitzvah[<4] I give to you, that you love one
another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
{13:35} By this everyone will know that you are my [5>]talmidim[<5],
if you have love for one another."
{13:36} Shim`on Rock said to him, "Lord, where are you going?"
Yeshua answered, "Where I am going, you can't follow now, but you
will follow afterwards."
{13:37} Rock said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will
lay down my life for you."
{13:38} Yeshua answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me?
Most assuredly I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have
denied me three times.
