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 Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel round his waist. 5After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped round him.
6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, ‘Lord, are you going to wash my feet?’
7Jesus replied, ‘You do not realise now what I am doing, but later you will understand.’
8‘No,’ said Peter, ‘you shall never wash my feet.’
Jesus answered, ‘Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.’
9‘Then, Lord,’ Simon Peter replied, ‘not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!’
10Jesus answered, ‘Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.’ 11For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
12When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. ‘Do you understand what I have done for you?’ he asked them. 13‘You call me “Teacher” and “Lord”, and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
Jesus predicts his betrayal
18‘I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfil this passage of Scripture: “He who shared my bread has turned13:18 Greek has lifted up his heel against me.”13:18 Psalm 41:9
19‘I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am. 20Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.’
21After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, ‘Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.’
22His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. 23One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. 24Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, ‘Ask him which one he means.’
25Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, ‘Lord, who is it?’
26Jesus answered, ‘It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.’ Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.
So Jesus told him, ‘What you are about to do, do quickly.’ 28But no-one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor. 30As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.
Jesus predicts Peter’s denial
31When he was gone, Jesus said, ‘Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. 32If God is glorified in him,13:32 Many early manuscripts do not have If God is glorified in him. God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.
33‘My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: where I am going, you cannot come.
34‘A new command I give you: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.’
36Simon Peter asked him, ‘Lord, where are you going?’
Jesus replied, ‘Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.’
37Peter asked, ‘Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.’
38Then Jesus answered, ‘Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!
