The Third Passover
1Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
The Last Supper
2And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; 3Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; 4he riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 5After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 6Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 8Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 11For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? 13Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 15For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. 17If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 18I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 19Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
21When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 23Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 25He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 26Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 28Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 29For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 33Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. 34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. 37Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. 38Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

Modeling Servanthood
1Now it was just before the feast of Passover. Yeshua knew that His hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them until the end.
2While the seder meal was happening, the devil had already put in the heart of Judah from Kriot that he should hand over Yeshua.
3Yeshua knew that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.
4So He gets up from the meal and lays aside His outer garment; and taking a towel, He wrapped it around His waist.
5Then He pours water into a basin. He began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel wrapped around Him.
6Then He comes to Simon Peter, who says to Him, “Master, are You going to wash my feet?”
7Yeshua responded, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things.”
8Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Yeshua answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with Me.”
9Simon Peter said to Him, “Master, then not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!”
10Yeshua said to him, “He who has bathed has no need to wash, except the feet; he is completely clean. And you all are clean, though not every one.”
11He knew who was betraying Him; for this reason, He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12So after He had washed their feet and put His robe back on and reclined again, He said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
13You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Master’—and rightly you say, for I am.
14So if I, your Master and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash each other’s feet.
15I have given you an example—you should do for each other what I have done for you.
16“Amen, amen I tell you, a servant isn’t greater than his master, and the one who is sent isn’t greater than the one who sent him.
17If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them!”
Yeshua Reveals His Betrayer
18“I am not speaking to all of you—I know whom I have chosen. But so the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’
19From now on I am telling you, before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I am.
20Amen, amen I tell you, he who receives the one I send, receives Me; and he who receives Me, receives the One who sent Me.”
21After He said these things, Yeshua was agitated in spirit and testified, “Amen, amen I tell you, one of you will betray Me!”
22The disciples began looking at each other, perplexed—who was He talking about?
23One of His disciples, whom Yeshua loved, was reclining at His side.
24Simon Peter nods to him and says, “Ask Him—who is He talking about?”
25Then he who leaned on Yeshua’s chest says to Him, “Master, who is it?”
26Yeshua answers, “It’s the one I will give this bit of matzah to, after I dip it.” After dipping the matzah , He takes it and gives it to Judah from Kriot, the son of Simon.
27And with that bit, satan entered into him. Then Yeshua tells him, “What you’re about to do, do quickly!”
28But no one reclining at the table knew why Yeshua said this to him.
29Since Judah had the moneybox, some thought Yeshua was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30So after Judah received the bit of matzah , he left immediately. Now it was night.
Leaving a Legacy of Love
31Then when Judah had gone out, Yeshua said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him!
32If God is glorified in Him, God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him at once.
33Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will search for Me; and just as I told the Judean leaders, so I say to you now, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
34“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also you must love one another.
35By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36“Master, where are You going?” Simon Peter said to Him. Yeshua answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow Me later.”
37Peter said to Him, “Master, why can’t I follow You now? I’ll lay down my life for You!”
38Yeshua answers, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Amen, amen I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times!”
