These things Jesus spoke and then departed and hid Himself. Even though He
had done many miracles before them, they still did not believe Him. Thus
it was that the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, Lord,
who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been
revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because Esaias also said, He
hath blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts that they should not
see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart and be converted,
and I should heal them. These things said Esaias, when he saw His glory
and spoke of Him.
Nevertheless among the chief rulers many believed on Him. But because
of the Pharisees they did not confess Him lest they should be put out
of the synagogue. They loved the praise of men more than the praise of
God. Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me,
but on Him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth Him that sent me. I
am come as a light into the world that whosoever believeth on me should
not abide in darkness. If any man hear my words and believe not, I judge
him not because I came not to judge the world but to save the world. He
that rejects me and receives not my words, hath One that judgeth him. He
Whose words I have spoken shall judge him in the last day. For I have not
spoken of myself, but of the Father who sent me. He gave me a commandment
of what I should say and what I should speak. I know that His commandment
is life everlasting. Whatever I speak I speak as the Father said unto me.
13. It was before the feast of the passover. Jesus knew that
His hour was come and that He should depart out of this world unto the
Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them unto
the end. Supper was ended. The devil now put it into the heart of Judas
Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him. Jesus knew that the Father had
given all things into His hands and that He came from God, and went to
God. He arose from supper, laid aside His garments, took a towel, and
girded Himself. After that He poureth water into a basin and began to
wash the disciples' feet. He then wiped them with the towel wherewith
He was girded.
When He came to Simon Peter, he saith unto Him, Lord, dost Thou wash my
feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now;
but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto Him, Thou shalt never
wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not then thou hast no
part with me. Simon Peter then saith unto Him, Lord, not my feet only but
also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth
not wash more than his feet, for he is clean every whit. Ye are clean. But
not all are clean. He said this last for He knew who should betray Him.
