Isus pere noge učenicima
1Večer uoči Pashe, znajući da je došao trenutak da ode sa zemlje svojemu Ocu i voleći svoje koji su na svijetu, Isus je vokio svoje učenike do samoga kraja. 2Za vrijeme večere đavao je već dao mig Judi Iškariotskomu, Šimunovu sinu, da je to noć u kojoj će izdati Isusa. 3A Isus, svjestan da mu je Otac predao sve u ruke, da je od Boga došao i da mu se vraća, 4ustane od stola, skine gornju odjeću, opaše se ručnikom, 5nalije vode te počne učenicima prati noge i brisati ih ručnikom kojim se opasao.
6Kad je došao do Šimuna Petra, on mu reče: “Učitelju, nećeš valjda ti meni prati noge!”
7Isus mu odgovori: “Sada još ne razumiješ zašto to radim, ali jednog ćeš dana shvatiti.”
8“Ne,” prosvjedovao je Petar, “nikad ti nećeš meni prati noge!”
“Ali ako te ne operem, ne možeš biti jedan od mojih”, odgovori mu Isus.
9Šimun Petar nato poviče: “Gospodine, operi mi onda i ruke i glavu, a ne samo noge!”
10Isus odgovori: “Tko je sav okupan, ne treba mu prati drugo osim nogu da bude posve čist. Sada ste čisti, ali ipak ne svi.” 11Isus je, naime, znao tko će ga izdati. Zato je i rekao: “Niste svi čisti.”
12Kad im opere noge, ponovno se obuče, sjedne i upita: “Razumijete li što sam vam učinio? 13Vi me zovete ‘Učiteljem’ i ‘Gospodinom’. Imate pravo! To i jesam. 14I zato, ako sam ja, Gospodin i Učitelj, vama oprao noge, trebate i vi prati noge jedni drugima. 15Dao sam vam primjer, činite kao što sam i ja učinio. 16Zaista vam kažem, nije sluga veći od svojega gospodara niti je poslanik veći od onoga koji ga šalje. 17To znate, a blago vama budete li tako i činili!”
Isus pretkazuje da će biti izdan
(Mt 26:17-30; Mk 14:12-26; Lk 22:7-23)
18“Ne govorim o svima vama, iako dobro poznajem vas koje sam odabrao. Sveto pismo kaže:
‘Onaj koji je sa mnom blagovao,
podiže se na me.’13:18 Psalam 41:10.
19Velim vam ovo već sada, prije nego što se dogodi, da kad se dogodi, vjerujete da Ja jesam. 20Zaista vam kažem, tko lijepo primi onoga koga ja šaljem, prima mene. A primi li tko mene, znači da je primio Oca koji me je poslao.”
21Rekavši to, duboko potresen u duhu, Isus im otvoreno reče: “Zaista vam kažem, jedan od vas će me izdati!”
22Učenici pogledaju jedan drugoga pitajući se na koga bi se to moglo odnositi. 23Jedan od Isusovih učenika, onaj kojega je Isus osobito volio,13:23 Najvjerojatnije Ivan. sjedio je za stolom odmah uz Isusa. 24Šimun Petar mu dade znak da upita Isusa tko bi mogao učiniti takvo strašno djelo. 25On se nagne prema Isusu13:25 U grčkome: naslonio Isusu na prsa. i upita ga: “Tko je taj, Gospodine?”
26Isus odgovori: “Kojemu dâm umočen kruh.” Umoči zatim kruh i dade ga Judi, sinu Šimuna Iškariotskoga. 27Čim Juda pojede kruh, u njega uđe Sotona. Tada mu Isus reče: “Brzo čini to što kaniš učiniti!” 28Nitko od nazočnih za stolom nije razumio zašto je Isus to rekao. 29Kako im je Juda bio blagajnik, neki pomisle da ga Isus šalje kupiti hrane za blagdane ili podijeliti novac siromašnima. 30Čim je uzeo kruh, Juda iziđe u noć.
Isus pretkazuje da će ga se Petar odreći
(Mt 26:31-35; Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34)
31Čim je Juda izišao, Isus reče: “Sada je vrijeme da ja, Sin Čovječji, uđem u svoju slavu, a Bog će biti proslavljen svime što će se meni dogoditi. 32Bog će me proslaviti u sebi, i to odmah.13:32 U nekim rukopisima: Ako je Bog proslavljen u njemu, i Bog će njega proslaviti u sebi 33Draga moja djeco, kako su kratki ovi trenuci prije nego što ću morati otići i ostaviti vas! A onda, budete li me i tražili, i kao što sam rekao i Židovima: ‘Kamo ja idem, vi ne možete doći.’ 34Dajem vam novu zapovijed: da volite jedni druge. Volite se međusobno onako kako sam ja volio vas. 35Budete li imali ljubavi jedni prema drugima, po tomu će svi znati da ste moji učenici.”
36“Kamo ideš, učitelju?” upita ga Šimun Petar.
Isus mu odgovori: “Sada ne možeš poći sa mnom, ali poslije ćeš me slijediti.”
37Petar upita: “Zašto sada ne mogu s tobom? Ja sam za tebe spreman i umrijeti!”
38Isus mu odgovori: “Umrijeti za mene? Zaista ti kažem, prije nego što pijetao zakukuriče, triput ćeš zanijekati da me uopće poznaješ.”
Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
1It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world. It was time for him to go to the Father. Jesus loved his disciples who were in the world. So he now loved them to the very end.
2They were having their evening meal. The devil had already tempted Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. He had urged Judas to hand Jesus over to his enemies. 3Jesus knew that the Father had put everything under his power. He also knew he had come from God and was returning to God. 4So he got up from the meal and took off his outer clothes. He wrapped a towel around his waist. 5After that, he poured water into a large bowl. Then he began to wash his disciples’ feet. He dried them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6He came to Simon Peter. “Lord,” Peter said to him, “are you going to wash my feet?”
7Jesus replied, “You don’t realize now what I am doing. But later you will understand.”
8“No,” said Peter. “You will never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you can’t share life with me.”
9“Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet! Wash my hands and my head too!”
10Jesus answered, “People who have had a bath need to wash only their feet. The rest of their body is clean. And you are clean. But not all of you are.” 11Jesus knew who was going to hand him over to his enemies. That was why he said not every one was clean.
12When Jesus finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes. Then he returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You are right. That is what I am. 14I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. So you also should wash one another’s feet. 15I have given you an example. You should do as I have done for you. 16What I’m about to tell you is true. A slave is not more important than his master. And a messenger is not more important than the one who sends him. 17Now you know these things. So you will be blessed if you do them.
Jesus Tells What Judas Will Do
18“I am not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But this will happen so that this passage of Scripture will come true. It says, ‘The one who shared my bread has turned against me.’ (Psalm 41:9)
19“I am telling you now, before it happens. When it does happen, you will believe that I am who I am. 20What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who accepts someone I send accepts me. And anyone who accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”
21After he had said this, Jesus’ spirit was troubled. He said, “What I’m about to tell you is true. One of you is going to hand me over to my enemies.”
22His disciples stared at one another. They had no idea which one of them he meant. 23The disciple Jesus loved was next to him at the table. 24Simon Peter motioned to that disciple. He said, “Ask Jesus which one he means.”
25The disciple was leaning back against Jesus. He asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26Jesus answered, “It is the one I will give this piece of bread to. I will give it to him after I have dipped it in the dish.” He dipped the piece of bread. Then he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. 27As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.
So Jesus told him, “Do quickly what you are going to do.” 28But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29Judas was in charge of the money. So some of the disciples thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast. Others thought Jesus was talking about giving something to poor people. 30As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.
Peter Will Say He Does Not Know Jesus
31After Judas was gone, Jesus spoke. He said, “Now the Son of Man receives glory. And he brings glory to God. 32If the Son brings glory to God, God himself will bring glory to the Son. God will do it at once.
33“My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me. Just as I told the Jews, so I am telling you now. You can’t come where I am going.
34“I give you a new command. Love one another. You must love one another, just as I have loved you. 35If you love one another, everyone will know you are my disciples.”
36Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”
Jesus replied, “Where I am going you can’t follow now. But you will follow me later.”
37“Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow you now? I will give my life for you.”
38Then Jesus answered, “Will you really give your life for me? What I’m about to tell you is true. Before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you don’t know me!
