Ján 13

1 Bolo pred veľkonočnými sviatkami. Ježiš vedel, že nadišla jeho hodina odísť z tohto sveta k Otcovi. A pretože miloval svojich, čo boli na svete, miloval ich do krajnosti.2 Pri večeri, keď už diabol vnukol Judášovi, synovi Šimona Iškariotského, aby ho zradil,3 Ježiš vo vedomí, že mu dal Otec do rúk všetko a že od Boha vyšiel a k Bohu odchádza,4 vstal od stola, zobliekol si odev, vzal plátennú zásteru a prepásal sa.5 Potom nalial vody do umývadla a začal umývať učeníkom nohy a utierať zásterou, ktorou bol prepásaný.6 Tak prišiel k Šimonovi Petrovi. On mu povedal: „Pane, ty mi chceš umývať nohy?“7 Ježiš mu odpovedal: „Teraz ešte nechápeš, čo robím, ale neskôr pochopíš.“8 Peter mu povedal: „Nikdy mi nebudeš umývať nohy!“ Ježiš mu odpovedal: „Ak ťa neumyjem, nebudeš mať podiel so mnou.“9 Šimon Peter mu vravel: „Pane, tak potom nielen nohy, ale aj ruky a hlavu!“10 Ježiš mu na to: „Kto sa okúpal, potrebuje si umyť už len nohy a je celý čistý. A vy ste čistí, ale nie všetci.“11 Vedel totiž, kto ho zradí, - preto povedal: „Nie všetci ste čistí.“12 Keď im umyl nohy a obliekol si odev, znova si sadol k stolu a povedal im: „Chápete, čo som vám urobil?13 Vy ma oslovujete: »Učiteľ« a: »Pane« a dobre hovoríte, lebo to som.14 Keď som teda ja, Pán a Učiteľ, umyl nohy vám, aj vy si máte jeden druhému nohy umývať.15 Dal som vám príklad, aby ste aj vy robili, ako som ja urobil vám.16 Veru, veru, hovorím vám: Sluha nie je väčší ako jeho pán, ani posol nie je väčší ako ten, kto ho poslal.17 Keď to viete, ste blahoslavení, ak podľa toho aj konáte.18 Nehovorím o vás všetkých. Ja viem, koho som si vyvolil, ale má sa splniť Písmo: »Ten, ktorý je môj chlieb, zdvihol proti mne pätu.«19 Hovorím vám to už teraz, skôr, ako sa to stane, aby ste uverili, keď sa to stane, že Ja Som.20 Veru, veru, hovorím vám: »Kto prijíma toho, koho ja pošlem, mňa prijíma. A kto prijíma mňa, prijíma toho, ktorý ma poslal.«“21 Keď to Ježiš povedal, zachvel sa v duchu a vyhlásil: „Veru, veru, hovorím vám: »Jeden z vás ma zradí.«“22 Učeníci sa pozerali jeden na druhého v rozpakoch, o kom to hovorí.23 Jeden z jeho učeníkov, ten, ktorého Ježiš miloval, bol celkom pri Ježišovej hrudi.24 Jemu dal Šimon Peter znak, aby sa opýtal: „Kto je to, o kom hovorí?“25 On sa naklonil k Ježišovej hrudi a spýtal sa: „Pane, kto je to?“26 Ježiš odpovedal: „Ten, komu podám namočenú smidku.“ Namočil smidku chleba a dal ju Judášovi, synovi Šimona Iškariotského.27 A hneď po tejto smidke vošiel do neho satan. Ježiš mu povedal: „Čo chceš urobiť, urob čo najskôr.“28 Ale nik zo stolujúcich nerozumel, prečo mu to povedal.29 Judáš mal mešec, preto si niektorí mysleli, že mu Ježiš povedal: „Nakúp, čo budeme potrebovať na sviatky,“ alebo aby dal niečo chudobným.30 On vzal smidku a hneď vyšiel von. A bola noc.31 Keď vyšiel, Ježiš povedal: „Teraz je Syn človeka oslávený a v ňom je oslávený Boh.32 A keď je Boh oslávený v ňom, aj Boh jeho v sebe oslávi, a čoskoro ho oslávi.33 Deti moje, ešte chvíľku som s vami. Budete ma hľadať, ale ako som povedal Židom, aj vám teraz hovorím: Kam ja idem, tam vy prísť nemôžete.34 Nové prikázanie vám dávam, aby ste sa milovali navzájom. Aby ste sa aj vy vzájomne milovali, ako som ja miloval vás.35 Podľa toho spoznajú všetci, že ste moji učeníci, ak sa budete navzájom milovať.“36 Šimon Peter sa ho opýtal: „Pane, kam ideš?“ Ježiš odvetil: „Kam ja idem, tam teraz za mnou ísť nemôžeš, no pôjdeš za mnou neskôr.“37 Peter mu vravel: „Pane, prečo nemôžem ísť za tebou teraz? Aj život položím za teba.“38 Ježiš odpovedal: „Aj život položíš za mňa? Veru, veru, hovorím ti: Nezaspieva kohút, kým ma tri razy nezaprieš.

JOHN 13

Jesus Washes the Feet //of His Disciples

1 It was before Passover, and Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and to return to the Father. He had always loved his followers in this world, and he loved them to the very end.

2 Even before the evening meal started, the devil had made Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, t decide to betray Jesus.
3 Jesus knew he had come from God and would go back to God. He also knew that the Father had given him complete power. 4 So during the meal Jesus got up, removed his outer garment, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

5 He put some water into a large bowl. Then he began washing his disciples' feet and drying them with the towel he was wearing.

6 But when he came to Simon Peter, this disciple asked, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7 Jesus answered, “You don't really know what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

8 “You will never wash my feet!” Peter replied.
“If I don't wash you,” Jesus told him, “you don't really belong to me.”

9 Peter said, “Lord, don't wash just my feet. Wash my hands and my head.”
10 Jesus answered, “People who have bathed and are clean all over need to wash just their feet. And you, my disciples, are clean, except for one of you.”

11 Jesus knew who would betray him. That is why he said, “except for one of you.”

12  t After Jesus had washed his disciples' feet and had put his outer garment back on, he sat down again.t Then he said:
Do you understand what I have done? 13 You call me your teacher and Lord, and you should, because that is who I am. 14 And if your Lord and teacher has washed your feet, you should do the same for each other. 15 I have set the example, and you should do for each other exactly what I have done for you. 16 t I tell you for certain that servants are not greater than their master, and messengers are not greater than the one who sent them.

17 You know these things, and God will bless you, if you do them.
18  t I am not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But what the Scriptures say must come true. And they say, “The man who ate with me has turned against me!” 19 I am telling you this before it all happens. Then when it does happen, you will believe who I am.t

20 t I tell you for certain that anyone who welcomes my messengers also welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.

Jesus Tells //What Will Happen to Him

(Matthew 26.20-25; Mark 14.17-21; Luke 22.21-23)

22 They were confused about what he meant. And they just stared at each other.
23 Jesus' favorite disciple was sitting next to him at the meal, 24 and Simon motioned for this disciple to find out which one Jesus meant.

25 So the disciple leaned toward Jesus and asked, “Lord, which one of us are you talking about?”

26 Jesus answered, “I will dip this piece of bread in the sauce and give it to the one I was talking about.”
Then Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.t

27 Right then Satan took control of Judas.
Jesus said, “Judas, go quickly and do what you have to do.” 28 No one at the meal understood what Jesus meant. 29 But because Judas was in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus had told him to buy something they needed for the festival. Others thought that Jesus had told him to give some money to the poor.

30 Judas took the piece of bread and went out.
It was already night.

The New Command

31 After Judas had gone, Jesus said:
Now the Son of Man will be given glory, and he will bring glory to God.

32 Then, after God is given glory because of him, God will bring glory to him, and God will do it very soon.
33  t My children, I will be with you for only a little while longer. Then you will look for me, but you won't find me. I tell you just as I told the people, “You cannot go where I am going.” 34 t But I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just as I have loved you.

35 If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples.

Peter's Promise

(Matthew 26.31-35; Mark 14.27-31; Luke 22.31-34)

36 Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?”
Jesus answered, “You can't go with me now, but later on you will.”

37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can't I go with you now? I would die for you!”
38 “Would you really die for me?” Jesus asked. “I tell you for certain before a rooster crows, you will say three times that you don't even know me.”
