John Chapter 13
Christ washes his disciples' feet. The treason of Judas. The new
commandment of love.
13:1. Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour
was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having
loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
Before the festival day of the pasch... This was the fourth and last
pasch of the ministry of Christ, and according to the common
computation, was in the thirty-third year of our Lord: and in the year
of the world 4036. Some chronologers are of opinion that our Saviour
suffered in the thirty-seventh year of his age: but these different
opinions on this subject are of no consequence.
13:2. And when supper was done (the devil having now put into the heart
of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him),
13:3. Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands
and that he came from God and goeth to God,
13:4. He riseth from supper and layeth aside his garments and, having
taken a towel, girded himself.
13:5. After that, he putteth water into a basin and began to wash the
feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was
girded.
13:6. He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord,
dost thou wash my feet?
13:7. Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now;
but thou shalt know hereafter.
13:8. Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet, Jesus answered
him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.
13:9. Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my
hands and my head.
13:10. Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his
feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.
13:11. For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said:
You are not all clean.
13:12. Then after he had washed their feet and taken his garments, being
set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?
13:13. You call me Master and Lord. And you say well: for so I am.
13:14. If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you
also ought to wash one another's feet.
13:15. For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so
you do also.
13:16. Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his
lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
13:17. If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
13:18. 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 shall lift up
his heel against me,
13:19. At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall
come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
13:20. Amen, amen, I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send
receiveth me: and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
13:21. When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and
he testified, and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you shall
betray me.
13:22. The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom
he spoke.
