13:1       {Joh 13:1-20 Thur. Evening; no parallel.}       Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that his hour has come in-order-that he should go-away out-of this world to the Father; he loved^* his own, the ones in the world, and loved^* them to the end.

13:2 And it happened during supper, the devil has already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son in-order-that he should give him up.

13:3 Jesus, knowing that the Father has given all the things into his hands and that he came forth from God and is proceeding-away to God,

13:4 arises from supper and places his garments aside, and he took a towel and girded himself.

13:5 Thereafter he puts water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel in which he was girding himself.      

13:6 Therefore, he comes to Simon Peter and that man says to him, Lord, why are you washing my feet?      

13:7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do^* you do not know now, but you will know after these things.      

13:8 Peter says to him, Never wash my feet forever.      Jesus answered him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.      

13:9 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not only my feet, but also the hands and the head.      

13:10 Jesus says to him, He who has been fully-washed does not need to wash himself, other than the feet, but is entirely clean and you^° are clean, but not all.

13:11 (For^* he knew the one giving him up.) Because of this, he said, You^° are not all clean.      

13:12 Therefore, when he washed their feet and took up his garments, and after he leaned-back again, he said to them, Do you^° know what I have done^* for you^°?

13:13 You^° address me as the Teacher and the Lord, and you^° say well; for^* I am.

13:14 Therefore, if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your^° feet, you^° also ought to wash one another’s feet.

13:15 For^* I gave you^° an example in-order-that you^° may also do^* like I did^* for you^°.

13:16 Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you^°, A bondservant is not greater than his lord; nor is an apostle greater than he who sent him.

13:17 If you^° know these things, you^° are fortunate if you^° practice them.      

13:18 I do not speak concerning all of you^°. I know whom I chose for myself, but in-order-that the Scripture might be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me, lifted up his heel against me.’ {Psa 41:9}

13:19 From now on I tell you^° before the thing is to happen, in-order-that, whenever it happens, you^° may believe that I am him.

13:20 Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you^°, He who receives anyone, whomever I send, receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me.       {Mar 14:18-21, 14:27-31 & Mat 26:21-25, 26:31-35 & Luk 22:21-23, 22:31-38 & Joh 13:21-38.}      

13:21 Jesus said these things and was disturbed in the spirit and testified and said, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you^°, One out-of you^° will be giving me up.      

13:22 Therefore, the disciples were looking toward one another, being perplexed concerning whom he is speaking about.

13:23 But one of his disciples was reclining on Jesus’ bosom, the one whom Jesus loved^*.

13:24 Therefore, Simon Peter signals to this one to inquire, whoever it might be, concerning whom he is speaking about.

13:25 But that man who had leaned upon Jesus’ chest thus says to him, Lord, who is it?      

13:26 Jesus answers, It is that man to whom I dipped the morsel, and I will give it to him. And after he dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son.

13:27 And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into him. Therefore, Jesus says to that man, What you are doing^*, do^* quickly.

13:28 (Now no one of the ones reclining at the table knew for what purpose he spoke this to him.

13:29 For^* some were thinking, since Judas was holding the money box, that Jesus is saying to him, Buy what things we have need of ^*for the feast; or, in-order-that he should give something to the poor.)

13:30 Therefore, that man received the morsel and went forth immediately and it was night.      

13:31 When he went forth, Jesus says, Now the Son of Man was glorified and God was glorified in him;

13:32 If God was glorified in him, God will also be glorifying him in himself and immediately he will be glorifying him.

13:33 Little-children, I am still with you^° for a little while. You^° will be seeking me and just-as I said to the Jews, Where I am proceeding-away to, you^° are not able to come. Also now I am saying to you^°,

13:34 I am giving to you^° a new commandment, in-order-that you^° should love^* one another; just-as I loved^* you^°, in-order-that you^° also should love^* one another.

13:35 Everyone will know that you^° are my disciples in this, if you^° have love^* among one another.      

13:36 Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where are you proceeding-away to?      Jesus answered him, I am proceeding-away where you are not able to follow now, but you will be following me later.      

13:37 Peter says to him, Lord, why am I not able to follow you even now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.      

13:38 Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life on my behalf? Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, The rooster should never crow, until which time you will be denying me three-times.
