1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, 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. 2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God, 4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

7 Jesus answered him, "You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."

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."

9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

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." 11 For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, "You are not all clean." 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 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am. 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you. 16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 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.’ 19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he. 20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me."

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."

22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."

25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

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. 27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him.

Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him. 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. 30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. 32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately. 33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you. 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

36 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."

37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

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.

1 En voor die fees van die pasga het Jesus, omdat Hy wis dat sy uur gekom het dat Hy uit hierdie wêreld sou oorgaan na die Vader, en omdat Hy sy eie mense in die wêreld liefgehad het, hulle liefgehad tot die einde toe.

2 En gedurende die maaltyd -- die duiwel het dit al in die hart van Judas Isk riot, die seun van Simon, ingegee om Hom te verraai --

3 het Jesus, omdat Hy wis dat die Vader alles in sy hande gegee het en dat Hy van God uitgegaan het en na God heengaan,

4 van die maaltyd opgestaan en sy bo-klere uitgetrek en 'n doek geneem en dit om Hom vasgemaak.

5 Daarna het Hy water in 'n bak gegooi en die voete van die dissipels begin was en afdroog met die doek wat Hy omgehad het.

6 Hy kom toe by Simon Petrus en die sê vir Hom: Here, gaan U my voete was?

7 Jesus antwoord en sê vir hom: Wat Ek doen, begryp jy nou nie, maar jy sal dit hierna verstaan.

8 Petrus sê vir Hom: U sal my voete in der ewigheid nie was nie! Jesus antwoord hom: As Ek jou nie was nie, het jy geen deel aan My nie.

9 Simon Petrus sê vir Hom: Here, nie net my voete nie, maar ook die hande en die hoof.

10 Jesus sê vir hom: Hy wat gewas is, het niks anders nodig as om die voete te was nie, maar is heeltemal rein; en julle is rein, maar nie almal nie.

11 Want Hy het geweet wie Hom sou verraai. Daarom het Hy gesê: Julle is nie almal rein nie.

12 Toe Hy dan hulle voete gewas en sy bo-klere geneem het, gaan Hy weer aan tafel en sê vir hulle: Verstaan julle wat Ek aan julle gedoen het?

13 Julle noem My Meester en Here, en julle is reg, want Ek is dit.

14 As Ek dan, die Here en die Meester, julle voete gewas het, is julle ook verplig om mekaar se voete te was.

15 Want Ek het julle 'n voorbeeld gegee om, net soos Ek aan julle gedoen het, ook so te doen.

16 Voorwaar, voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, 'n dienskneg is nie groter as sy heer nie, en 'n gesant is ook nie groter as die een wat hom gestuur het nie.

17 As julle hierdie dinge weet, salig is julle as julle dit doen.

18 Ek spreek nie van julle almal nie -- Ek weet wie Ek uitverkies het -- maar dat die Skrif vervul kan word: Hy wat saam met My brood eet, het sy hakskeen teen My opgelig.

19 Van nou af sê Ek dit aan julle voordat dit gebeur, sodat wanneer dit gebeur, julle kan glo dat dit Ek is.

20 Voorwaar, voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, wie iemand ontvang wat Ek stuur, ontvang My; en wie My ontvang, ontvang Hom wat My gestuur het.

21 Toe Jesus dit gesê het, het Hy in sy gees ontsteld geword en getuig en gesê: Voorwaar, voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, een van julle sal My verraai.

22 En die dissipels het na mekaar begin kyk, in twyfel omtrent die een van wie Hy dit sê.

23 En een van sy dissipels, hy vir wie Jesus liefgehad het, het aan tafel teen die bors van Jesus gelê.

24 Simon Petrus knik toe vir hom dat hy moet vra wie dit kon wees van wie Hy spreek.

25 En hy val op die bors van Jesus en sê vir Hom: Here, wie is dit?

26 Jesus antwoord: Dit is die een aan wie Ek die stukkie sal gee as Ek dit ingedoop het. En toe Hy die stukkie ingedoop het, gee Hy dit aan Judas Isk riot, die seun van Simon.

27 En nadat hy die stukkie geneem het, het die Satan in hom ingevaar. En Jesus sê vir hom: Wat jy doen, doen dit haastig.

28 Maar waarom Hy dit vir hom gesê het, het niemand van die wat aan tafel was, verstaan nie.

29 Want sommige het gedink, terwyl Judas die beurs gehad het, dat Jesus vir hom sê: Koop wat ons nodig het vir die fees; of dat hy iets aan die armes moes gee.

30 Toe hy dan die stukkie geneem het, het hy dadelik uitgegaan. En dit was nag.

31 En toe hy buite was, sê Jesus: Nou is die Seun van die mens verheerlik, en God is in Hom verheerlik.

32 As God in Hom verheerlik is, sal God Hom ook in Homself verheerlik en Hy sal Hom dadelik verheerlik.

33 My kinders, nog 'n klein tydjie is Ek by julle. Julle sal My soek, en soos Ek vir die Jode gesê het: Waar Ek heengaan, kan julle nie kom nie -- so sê Ek nou ook vir julle.

34 'n Nuwe gebod gee Ek julle, dat julle mekaar moet liefhê; soos Ek julle liefgehad het, moet julle ook mekaar liefhê.

35 Hieraan sal almal weet dat julle my dissipels is, as julle liefde onder mekaar het.

36 Simon Petrus sê vir Hom: Here, waar gaan U heen? Jesus antwoord hom: Waar Ek heengaan, kan jy My nou nie volg nie, maar later sal jy My volg.

37 Petrus sê vir Hom: Here, waarom kan ek U nie nou volg nie? Ek sal my lewe vir U gee.

38 Jesus antwoord hom: Sal jy jou lewe vir My gee? Voorwaar, voorwaar Ek sê vir jou, die haan sal sekerlik nie kraai voordat jy My drie maal verloën het nie.
