012:033 He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die.
012:034 The crowd answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that
the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that
the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?"
012:035 "Yet a little while," He replied, "the light is among you.
Be faithful to the light that you have, for fear darkness
should overtake you; for a man who walks in the dark does
not know where he is going.
012:036 In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light,
so that you may become sons of Light." Jesus said this,
and went away and hid Himself from them.
012:037 But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence,
they did not believe in Him--
012:038 in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might
be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching?
And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?"
012:039 For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah
said again,
012:040 "He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous,
lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds,
and should turn, and I should heal them."
012:041 Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory;
and he spoke of Him.
012:042 Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him.
But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief,
for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.
012:043 For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than
the glory that comes from God.
012:044 But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not
so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
012:045 and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
012:046 I have come like light into the world, in order that no one
who believes in me may remain in the dark.
012:047 And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not,
I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world,
but to save the world.
012:048 He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings
is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken
will judge him on the last day.
012:049 Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father
who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in
what words to speak.
012:050 And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages.
What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me."
013:001 Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place.
Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world
and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were
in the world, He loved them to the end.
013:002 While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time
suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought
of betraying Him, Jesus,
013:003 although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands,
and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,
013:004 rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took
a towel and tied it round Him.
013:005 Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash
the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel
which He had put round Him.
013:006 When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said,
"are *you* going to wash my feet?"
013:007 "What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do
not know, but afterwards you shall know."
013:008 "Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you
wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus,
"you have no share with me."
013:009 "Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands
and my head."
013:010 "Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not
need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over.
And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true
of all of you."
013:011 For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said,
"You are not all of you clean."
013:012 So after He had washed their feet, put on His garments again,
and returned to the table, He said to them, "Do you understand
what I have done to you?
013:013 You call me `The Rabbi' and `The Master,' and rightly so,
for such I am.
013:014 If I then, your Master and Rabbi, have washed your feet,
it is also your duty to wash one another's feet.
013:015 For I have set you an example in order that you may do what I
have done to you.
013:016 In most solemn truth I tell you that a servant is not superior
to his master, nor is a messenger superior to him who sent him.
013:017 If you know all this, blessed are you if you act accordingly.
013:018 I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen,
but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may
be fulfilled, which says, `He who eats my bread has lifted
up his heel against me.'
013:019 From this time forward I tell you things before they happen,
in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.
013:020 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever
I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives Him
who sent me."
013:021 After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said
with deep earnestness, "In most solemn truth I tell you
that one of you will betray me."
013:022 The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know
to which of them He was referring.
013:023 There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved--
reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.
013:024 Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us
to whom he is referring."
013:025 So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked,
"Master, who is it?"
013:026 "It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this
piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He
dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas,
the son of the Iscariot Simon.
013:027 Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered
into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him.
013:028 But why He said this no one else at the table understood.
013:029 Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box
Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival,"
or that he should give something to the poor.
013:030 So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out.
And it was night.
013:031 So when he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of
Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
013:032 Moreover God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify
Him without delay.
013:033 Dear children, I am still with you a little longer.
You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, `Where I am
going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you.
013:034 A new commandment I give you, to love one another; that as I
have loved you, you also may love one another.
013:035 It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples--
if you love one another."
013:036 "Master," inquired Simon Peter, "where are you going?"
"Where I am going," replied Jesus, "you cannot be my follower now,
but you shall be later."
013:037 "Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now?
I will lay down my life on your behalf.
013:038 "You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!" said Jesus;
"in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow
before you have three times disowned me."
014:001 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God:
trust in me also.
014:002 In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were
it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make
ready a place for you.
014:003 And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return
and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.
