11. Jesus knew who would betray him. That is why he said, “except for one of you.”
12. After Jesus had washed his disciples' feet and had put his outer garment back on, he sat down again. Then he said:Do you understand what I have done?
13. You call me your teacher and Lord, and you should, because that is who I am.
14. And if your Lord and teacher has washed your feet, you should do the same for each other.
15. I have set the example, and you should do for each other exactly what I have done for you.
16. I tell you for certain that servants are not greater than their master, and messengers are not greater than the one who sent them.
17. You know these things, and God will bless you, if you do them.
18. I am not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But what the Scriptures say must come true. And they say, “The man who ate with me has turned against me!”
19. I am telling you this before it all happens. Then when it does happen, you will believe who I am.
20. I tell you for certain that anyone who welcomes my messengers also welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.
21. After Jesus had said these things, he was deeply troubled and told his disciples, “I tell you for certain that one of you will betray me.”
22. They were confused about what he meant. And they just stared at each other.
23. Jesus' favourite disciple was sitting next to him at the meal,
24. and Simon motioned for that disciple to find out which one Jesus meant.
25. So the disciple leaned towards Jesus and asked, “Lord, which one of us are you talking about?”
26. Jesus answered, “I will dip this piece of bread in the sauce and give it to the one I was talking about.”Then Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
