After supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,

Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
John 13:6 · bible→bibleJohn 13:7
Jesus answered him, "You don't know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."
John 13:7 · bible→bibleJohn 13:8
Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me."
John 13:8 · bible→bibleJohn 13:9
Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"
John 13:9 · bible→bibleJohn 13:10
Jesus 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."
John 13:10 · bible→bibleJohn 13:11
For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean."
John 13:11 · bible→bibleJohn 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?
John 13:12 · bible→bibleJohn 13:13
You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am.
John 13:13 · bible→bibleJohn 13:14
If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
John 13:14 · bible→bibleJohn 13:15
For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
John 13:19 · bible→bibleJohn 13:20
Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me."
John 13:20 · bible→bibleJohn 13:21
When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."
John 13:21 · bible→bibleJohn 13:22
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
John 13:22 · bible→bibleJohn 13:23
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus' breast.
John 13:23 · bible→bibleJohn 13:24
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."
John 13:24 · bible→bibleJohn 13:25
He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"
John 13:25 · bible→bibleJohn 13:26
Jesus 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 Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
John 13:26 · bible→bibleJohn 13:27
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
John 13:27 · bible→bibleJohn 13:28
Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.
John 13:28 · bible→bibleJohn 13:29
For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.
John 13:29 · bible→bibleJohn 13:30
Therefore, having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
John 13:30 · bible→bibleJohn 13:31
When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
John 13:31 · bible→bibleJohn 13:32
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you can't follow now, but you will follow afterwards."
John 13:36 · bible→bibleJohn 13:37
Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
John 13:37 · bible→bibleJohn 13:38
Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have denied me three times.
John 13:38 · bible→bibleJohn 14:13
Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:13 · bible→bibleJohn 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13 · bible→bibleJohn 16:13
