1. Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet

2. 1ENGT4TWhen it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and to return to his Father in heaven. He loved us who were his disciples. He knew we would continue to live here in this world, so now he showed us how completely he loved us.BSBBSB: It was now just before the Passover Feast, and Jesus knew 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 very end.
3. 2ENGT4TWe were eating the Passover meal. ◄The devil/Satan► had already suggested to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth Town), the son of Simon, that he should ◄betray Jesus/enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him►.BSBBSB: The evening meal was underway, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
4. 3ENGT4TBut Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority to control the situation. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.BSBBSB: Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.
5. 4ENGT4TBut before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other. So he got up from where he was eating. He took off his outer cloak and wrapped a long towel around his waist, as a slave would do.BSBBSB: So He got up from the supper, laid aside His outer garments, and wrapped a towel around His waist.
6. 5ENGT4TThen he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.BSBBSB: After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel that was around Him.
7. 6ENGT4TWhen he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you RHQ to humble yourself by washing my feet!”BSBBSB: He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”
8. 7ENGT4TJesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand the meaning of what I am doing, but you will understand later.”BSBBSB: Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
9. 8ENGT4TPeter said, “I will never, ever, allow you to wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue ◄to be my disciple/to belong to me►.”BSBBSB: “Never shall You wash my feet!” Peter told Him. Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.”
10. 9ENGT4TSo Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, in that case, do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, too!”BSBBSB: “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well!”
11. 10ENGT4TThen, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins MET, Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads. The rest of their bodies are clean. Similarly, I have made you disciples free/clean from the guilt of your sins, although not all of you are free from guilt.”BSBBSB: Jesus told him, “Whoever has already bathed needs only to wash his feet, and he will be completely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.”
12. 11ENGT4THe knew which one of us was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”BSBBSB: For He knew who would betray Him. That is why He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
13. 12ENGT4TAfter he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?BSBBSB: When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His outer garments, He reclined with them again and asked, “Do you know what I have done for you?
14. 13ENGT4TYou show that you respect me by calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.BSBBSB: You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, because I am.
15. 14ENGT4TBut if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to serve each other by doing things like washing each other’s feet.BSBBSB: So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
16. 15ENGT4TI have made myself an example for you in order that you should humbly serve each other as I have done for you.BSBBSB: I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you.
17. 16ENGT4TListen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other.BSBBSB: Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
18. 17ENGT4TSince you now know these things, God will be pleased with you if you do them.”BSBBSB: If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

19. Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

    (Psalm 41:1–13)

20. 18ENGT4T“I am not saying that God will bless all of you. I knew what all of you were like when I chose you. But I also chose the one who will betray me, in order that what is written in Scripture might be fulfilled {to fulfill what someone/the psalmist wrote in Scripture}, ‘The one who is acting like he is my friend by eating with me has become my enemy IDM.’BSBBSB: I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’
21. 19ENGT4TI am telling you about someone betraying me before it happens, in order that when it happens, you may continue to believe that I am ◄the Messiah/who I say I am►.BSBBSB: I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am He.
22. 20ENGT4TListen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, God will consider that they are accepting me. And those who accept me, God will consider that they are accepting my Father, who sent me.”BSBBSB: Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me.”
23. 21ENGT4TAfter Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He solemnly declared, “Listen to this carefully: One of you is going to enable my enemies to seize me.”BSBBSB: After Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit and testified, “Truly, truly, I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”
24. 22ENGT4TWe looked at each other. We had no way to know whom he was talking about.BSBBSB: The disciples looked at one another, perplexed as to which of them He meant.
25. 23ENGT4TI, the man other people call ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.BSBBSB: One of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at His side.
26. 24ENGT4TSimon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.BSBBSB: So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one He was talking about.
27. 25ENGT4TSo I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”BSBBSB: Leaning back against Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”
28. 26ENGT4TJesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I dip it in the sauce in the dish.” Then, to show us that he knew who would enable his enemies to seize him, after he dipped the bread in the sauce, he gave it to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth Town).BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this morsel after I have dipped it.” Then He dipped the morsel and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
29. 27ENGT4TAs soon as Judas ate the bread, Satan took control of him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”BSBBSB: And when Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
30. 28ENGT4TBut none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.BSBBSB: But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.
31. 29ENGT4TSince Judas took care of the money people gave us to help us, some thought Jesus was telling him to go and buy some things we needed for the Passover celebration. Some thought he was telling him to give some money to poor people.BSBBSB: Since Judas kept the money bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.
32. 30ENGT4TAs soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark outside, and it was dark MET in his soul, too.BSBBSB: As soon as he had received the morsel, Judas went out into the night.

33. Love One Another

    (Romans 12:9–13; 1 John 3:11–24)

34. 31ENGT4TAfter Judas left, Jesus said, “Now it will be shown {my Father will show} how wonderful I, the one who came from heaven, am. And by what I do it will be seen {people will see} how great God is.BSBBSB: When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
35. 32ENGT4TSince by what I do people will see how awesome God is, God himself will show people how awesome I am. And he will do that very soon.BSBBSB: If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify the Son in Himself—and will glorify Him at once.
36. 33ENGT4TYou whom I love as though you were my children, I will continue with you only a short time longer. Then you will look for me, but I will not be here. Just like I told the Jewish leaders SYN, I am telling you now, that where I am going, you cannot come yet.BSBBSB: Little children, I am with you only a little while longer. You will look for Me, and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
37. 34ENGT4TNow I am giving you a new commandment: You must love each other. You must love each other in the way that I have loved you.BSBBSB: A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.
38. 35ENGT4TIf you keep loving each other, everyone who is aware of that HYP will know that you are my disciples.”BSBBSB: By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”

39. Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

    (Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; Luke 22:31–38)

40. 36ENGT4TSimon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “The place where I am going, you cannot come with me now, but you will come there later.”BSBBSB: “Lord, where are You going?” Simon Peter asked. Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now, but you will follow later.”
41. 37ENGT4TPeter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I am ready to die for you!”BSBBSB: “Lord,” said Peter, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.”
42. 38ENGT4TJesus answered, “You say RHQ that you are ready to die for me. But the truth is that before the rooster crows early tomorrow morning, you will say three times that you do not know me!”BSBBSB: “Will you lay down your life for Me?” Jesus replied. “Truly, truly, I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.
