John 13:11-28 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. (For he knew the one who would betray him; because of this he said, “Not all of you are clean.”)

12. So when he had washed their feet and taken his outer clothing and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you?

13. You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you speak correctly, for I am.

14. If then I—your Lord and Teacher—wash your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15. For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do.

16. Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

17. If you understand these things, you are blessed if you do them.

18. “I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, ‘The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’

19. From now on I am telling you before it happens, in order that when it happens you may believe that I am he.

20. Truly, truly I say to you, the one who receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.”

21. When he had said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me.”

22. The disciples began looking at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking.

23. One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining close beside Jesus.

24. So Simon Peter gestured for this one to inquire who it was about whom he was speaking.

25. He leaned back accordingly against Jesus’ chest and said to him, “Lord, who is it?”

26. Jesus replied, “It is he to whom I dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” Then after dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.

27. And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are doing, do quickly!”

28. (Now no one of those reclining at table knew for what reason he said this to him.
