1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which
is called
the Passover.
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might
kill
him; for they feared the people.
3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being
of
the number of the twelve.
4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests
and
captains, how he might betray him unto them.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him
unto
them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover
must be killed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare
us the
passover, that we may eat.
9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into
the
city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of
water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master
saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall
eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there
make ready.
13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they
made ready the passover.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve
apostles with him.
15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat
this passover with you before I suffer:
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until
it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this,
and divide it among yourselves:
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the
vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave
unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you:
this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is
the
new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me
on
the table.
22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but
woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them
it
was that should do this thing.
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should
be accounted the greatest.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon
them are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you,
let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that
doth serve.
27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that
serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you
as he that serveth.
28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath
appointed unto me;
30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and
sit
on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired
to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and
when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee,
both
into prison, and to death.
34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow
this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou
knowest me.
John 13
1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew
that
his hour was come that he should depart out of this world
unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the
world, he loved them unto the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now 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 was come from God, and went to God;
4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments;
and took
a towel, and girded himself.
5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began
to wash
the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel
wherewith he was girded.
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto
him,
Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest
not
now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet.
Jesus
answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only,
but also
my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to
wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean,
but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye
are
not all clean.
12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his
garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye
what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet;
ye
also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I
have
done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater
than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that
sent him.
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that
the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me
hath lifted up his heel against me.
19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to
pass, ye may believe that I am he.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever
I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him
that sent me.
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and
testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that
one of you shall betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom
he spake.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask
who it should be of whom he spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who
is
it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when
I
have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it
to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus
unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this
unto him.
29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that
Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need
of against the feast; or, that he should give something to
the poor.
30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and
it
was night.
31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the
Son
of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in
himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall
seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye
cannot come; so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if
ye
have love one to another.
36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus
answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now;
but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now?
I
will lay down my life for thy sake.
38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow,
till thou hast denied me thrice.
