I. The Preparation in the Upper Room 13:1-14:31 Joh 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.Joh 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;Joh 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;Joh 13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.Joh 13:5 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.Joh 13:6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?Joh 13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.Joh 13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.Joh 13:9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.Joh 13:10 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.Joh 13:11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.Joh 13:12 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?Joh 13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.Joh 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.Joh 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.Joh 13:16 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.Joh 13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.Joh 13:18 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.Joh 13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.Joh 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.Joh 13:21 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.Joh 13:22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.Joh 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.Joh 13:24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.Joh 13:25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?Joh 13:26 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.Joh 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.Joh 13:28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.Joh 13:29 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.Joh 13:30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.Joh 13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.Joh 13:32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.Joh 13:33 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.Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.Joh 13:36 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.Joh 13:37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.Joh 13:38 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.Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.Joh 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.Joh 14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.Joh 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.Joh 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.Joh 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.Joh 14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.Joh 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.Joh 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.Joh 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.Joh 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.Joh 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. |
