Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. John
013:012 So after He had washed their feet, put on His garments again,
and returned to the table, He said to them, "Do you understand
what I have done to you?
013:013 You call me `The Rabbi' and `The Master,' and rightly so,
for such I am.
013:014 If I then, your Master and Rabbi, have washed your feet,
it is also your duty to wash one another's feet.
013:015 For I have set you an example in order that you may do what I
have done to you.
013:016 In most solemn truth I tell you that a servant is not superior
to his master, nor is a messenger superior to him who sent him.
013:017 If you know all this, blessed are you if you act accordingly.
013:018 I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen,
but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may
be fulfilled, which says, `He who eats my bread has lifted
up his heel against me.'
013:019 From this time forward I tell you things before they happen,
in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.
013:020 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever
I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives Him
who sent me."
013:021 After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said
with deep earnestness, "In most solemn truth I tell you
that one of you will betray me."
013:022 The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know
to which of them He was referring.
013:023 There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved--
reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.
013:024 Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us
to whom he is referring."
013:025 So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked,
"Master, who is it?"
013:026 "It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this
piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He
dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas,
the son of the Iscariot Simon.
013:027 Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered
into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him.
013:028 But why He said this no one else at the table understood.
013:029 Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box
Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival,"
or that he should give something to the poor.
013:030 So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out.
And it was night.
013:031 So when he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of
Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
013:032 Moreover God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify
Him without delay.
013:033 Dear children, I am still with you a little longer.
You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, `Where I am
going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you.
