Bible. John
012:042 Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him.
But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief,
for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.
012:043 For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than
the glory that comes from God.
012:044 But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not
so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
012:045 and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
012:046 I have come like light into the world, in order that no one
who believes in me may remain in the dark.
012:047 And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not,
I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world,
but to save the world.
012:048 He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings
is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken
will judge him on the last day.
012:049 Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father
who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in
what words to speak.
012:050 And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages.
What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me."
013:001 Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place.
Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world
and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were
in the world, He loved them to the end.
013:002 While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time
suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought
of betraying Him, Jesus,
013:003 although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands,
and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,
013:004 rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took
a towel and tied it round Him.
013:005 Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash
the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel
which He had put round Him.
013:006 When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said,
"are *you* going to wash my feet?"
013:007 "What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do
not know, but afterwards you shall know."
013:008 "Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you
wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus,
"you have no share with me."
013:009 "Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands
and my head."
013:010 "Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not
need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over.
And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true
of all of you."
013:011 For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said,
"You are not all of you clean."
