約翰福音 13

耶穌為門徒洗腳

1 逾越節以前，耶穌知道自己離世歸父的時候到了。他一向愛世間屬自己的人，就愛他們到底。 2 晚餐的時候，魔鬼已把出賣耶穌的意思放在加略人西門的兒子猶大心裏。 3 耶穌知道父已把萬有交在他手裏，且知道自己是從上帝出來的，又要回到上帝那裏去， 4 就離席站起來，脫了衣服，拿一條手巾束腰， 5 隨後把水倒在盆裏，開始洗門徒的腳，並用束腰的手巾擦乾。 6 到了西門．彼得跟前，彼得對他說：「主啊，你洗我的腳嗎？」 7 耶穌回答他說：「我所做的，你現在不知道，但以後會明白。」 8 彼得對他說：「你絕對不可以洗我的腳！」耶穌回答他：「我若不洗你，你就與我無份了。」 9 西門．彼得對他說：「主啊，不僅是我的腳，連手和頭也要洗！」 10 耶穌對他說：「凡洗過澡的人不需要再洗，只要把腳一洗，全身就乾淨了。你們是乾淨的，然而不都是乾淨的。」 11 耶穌已知道要出賣他的是誰，因此說「你們不都是乾淨的」。

12 耶穌洗完了他們的腳，就穿上衣服，又坐下，對他們說：「我為你們所做的，你們明白嗎？ 13 你們稱呼我老師，稱呼我主，你們說的不錯，我本來就是。 14 我是你們的主，你們的老師，尚且洗你們的腳，你們也應當彼此洗腳。 15 我給你們作了榜樣，為要你們照著我為你們所做的去做。 16 我實實在在地告訴你們，僕人不大於主人；奉差的人也不大於差他的人。 17 你們既知道這些事，若是去實行就有福了。 18 我不是指著你們眾人說的，我知道我所揀選的是誰；但是要應驗經上的話：『吃我飯的人t用腳踢我。』 19 事情還沒有發生，我現在先告訴你們，讓你們到事情發生的時候好信我就是那位。 20 我實實在在地告訴你們，接納我所差遣的就是接納我；接納我的就是接納差遣我的那位。」

耶穌預言將被出賣

（太26．20－25；可14．17－21；路22．21－23）

21 耶穌說了這些話，心裏憂愁，於是明確地說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，你們中間有一個人要出賣我。」 22 門徒彼此相看，猜不出他說的是誰。 23 門徒中有一個人，是耶穌所愛的，側身挨近耶穌的胸懷。 24 西門．彼得就對這個人示意，要問耶穌是指著誰說的。 25 於是那人緊靠著耶穌的胸膛，問他：「主啊，是誰呢？」 26 耶穌回答：「我蘸一點餅給誰，就是誰。」耶穌就蘸了一點餅，遞給加略人西門的兒子猶大。 27 他接t了那餅以後，撒但就進入他的心。於是耶穌對他說：「你要做的，快做吧！」 28 同席的人沒有一個知道耶穌為甚麼對他說這話。 29 有人因猶大管錢囊，以為耶穌是對他說「你去買我們過節所需要的東西」，或是叫他拿些甚麼給窮人。 30 猶大受t了那點餅以後立刻出去。那時候是夜間了。

新的命令

31  猶大出去後，耶穌說：「如今人子得了榮耀，上帝在人子身上也得了榮耀。 32 如果上帝因人子得了榮耀t，上帝也要因自己榮耀人子，並且要立刻榮耀他。 33 孩子們！我與你們同在的時候不多了；你們會找我，但我所去的地方，你們不能去。這話我曾對猶太人說過，現在也照樣對你們說。 34 我賜給你們一條新命令，乃是叫你們彼此相愛；我怎樣愛你們，你們也要怎樣彼此相愛。 35 你們若彼此相愛，眾人因此就認出你們是我的門徒了。」

預言彼得不認主

（太26．31－35；可14．27－31；路22．31－34）

36  西門．彼得問耶穌：「主啊，你去哪裏？」耶穌回答：「我所去的地方，你現在不能跟我去，以後卻要跟我去。」 37 彼得對他說：「主啊，為甚麼我現在不能跟你去？我願意為你捨命。」 38 耶穌回答：「你願意為我捨命嗎？我實實在在地告訴你，雞叫以前，你要三次不認我。」

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)

21 After Jesus had said these things, he was deeply troubled and told his disciples, “I tell you for certain that one of you will betray me.”

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.”
