John 13:16-20 Common English Bible (CEB)

16. I assure you, servants aren’t greater than their master, nor are those who are sent greater than the one who sent them.

17. Since you know these things, you will be happy if you do them.

18. I’m not speaking about all of you. I know those whom I’ve chosen. But this is to fulfill the scripture, The one who eats my bread has turned against me.

19. "I’m telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I Am.

20. I assure you that whoever receives someone I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me."
