Yochanan 13:1-20

Yochanan 13:1-20 TOJB2011

Now before the Chag (Feast) of the Pesach, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having da'as that his sha'ah (hour, time) had come, his sha'ah when he should pass from the Olam Hazeh to HaAv, having had ahavah for his own in the Olam Hazeh, he had ahavah for them to HaKetz. And seudah taking place, HaSatan already having put into the lev of Yehudah Ben Shim'on from K'riot that he should betray him, And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach having had da'as that HaAv had given into his hands all things, and that from HASHEM Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came forth and to HASHEM he is going, He rises from the seudah and puts aside his me'il and kesones, girding himself with a towel. He puts mayim (water) into the basin and began to wash the raglei hatalmidim and to wipe them with the towel with which he had been girded. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach comes then to Shim'on Kefa. Kefa says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, you wash my feet? In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Of what I am doing you do not have da'as now, but you will receive binah after these things. Kefa says to him, Never will you wash my feet l'Olam! Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered him, Unless I wash you, you do not have a chelek (alloted portion of inheritance) with me. Shim'on Kefa says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, then not my feet only but also my hands and my head. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, The one having been bathed does not have need except his feet to wash, but is wholly tahor, and you are tehorim, though not all. For Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had da'as of the one betraying him. Therefore, he said, Not all are tehorim. Therefore, when he washed their feet and resuited himself into his kaftan, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach reclined at tish again and said to them, Do you have da'as of what I have done for you? You call me Rabbeinu and Adoneinu, and you say well, for Ani Hu. If, therefore, I, being Rebbe and Adon, washed your feet, you ought to wash the feet of one another also. For I gave you a mofet that as I did to you, you may do also. Omein, omein, I say to you, an eved is not greater than his Adon, nor is a shliach (one sent) greater than his Meshalle'ach (Sender). If you have da'as of these things, happy are you, if you put them into practice. I do not speak about all of you — I have da'as of whom I chose — But it is to fulfill the Kitvei Hakodesh, OKHEL LAKHEMI HIGDIL ALAI AKEV (the one eating my bread he lifted up his heel against me). From now on I tell you before the occurrence that you may have emunah (faith) when it occurs, that Ani Hu. Omein, omein, I say to you, the one receiving whomever I may send receives me, and the one receiving me, receives the One having sent me.
