New King James Version

International Standard Version

1Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

1Now before the Passover Festival, Jesus realized that his hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him,

2By supper time, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray him.

3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

3Because Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his control, that he had come from God, and that he was returning to God,

4rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.

4therefore he got up from the table, removed his outer robe, and took a towel and fastened it around his waist.

5After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

5Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel that was tied around his waist.

6Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?”

6Then he came to Simon Peter, who asked him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

7Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.”

7Jesus answered him, "You don't realize now what I'm doing, but later on you'll understand."

8Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”

8Peter told him, "You must never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "Unless I wash you, you cannot be involved with me."

9Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

9Simon Peter told him, "Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well!"

10Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”

10Jesus told him, "Whoever has bathed is entirely clean. He doesn't need to wash himself further, except for his feet. And you men are clean, though not all of you."

11For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”

11For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, "Not all of you are clean."

12So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

12When Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer robe, he sat down again and told them, "Do you realize what I've done to you?

13You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.

13You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right because that is what I am.

14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

14So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you must also wash one another's feet.

15For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

15I've set an example for you, so that you may do as I have done to you.

16Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

16Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, a servant isn't greater than his master, and a messenger isn't greater than the one who sent him.

17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

17If you understand these things, how blessed you are if you put them into practice!

18“I do not 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.’

18I'm not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: 'The one who ate bread with me has turned against me.'

19Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.

19I'm telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that I AM.

20Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

20Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who receives whomever I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me."

21When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”

21After saying this, Jesus was deeply troubled in spirit and declared solemnly, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, one of you is going to betray me!"

22Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

22The disciples began looking at one another, completely mystified about whom he was speaking.

23Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

23One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus kept loving, had been sitting very close to him.

24Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

24So Simon Peter motioned to this man to ask Jesus about whom he was speaking.

25Then, leaning back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

25Leaning forward on Jesus' chest, he asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

26Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

26Jesus answered, "He is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish." Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

27After he had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus told him, "Do quickly what you are going to do!"

28But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.

28Now no one at the table knew why Jesus said this to him.

29For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

29Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the destitute.

30Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

30So Judas took the piece of bread, immediately went outside…and it was night.

31So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

31After Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "The Son of Man is now glorified, and God has been glorified by him.

32If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately.

32If God has been glorified by him, God himself also will glorify the Son of Man, and he will do so quickly.

33Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.

33Little children, I'm with you only a little longer. You will look for me, but what I told the Jewish leaders I now tell you, 'Where I'm going, you cannot come.'

34A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

34I'm giving you a new commandment…to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

35By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

35This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

36Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward.”

36Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered him, "I'm going where you cannot follow me now, though you will follow me later on."

37Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake.”

37"Lord, why can't I follow you now?" Peter asked him. "I would lay down my life for you!"

38Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.

38Jesus answered him, "Would you lay down your life for me? I tell you emphatically, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times."
