Jēzus mazgā mācekļiem kājas
1 Bija laiks pirms Pashas svētkiem. Jēzus zināja, ka ir pienākusi viņa stunda pāriet no šīs pasaules pie Tēva; un savējos, kurus viņš šajā pasaulē bija iemīlējis, viņš mīlēja līdz galam. 2 Mielasta laikā, kad velns Jūdam, Sīmaņa dēlam Iskariotam, jau bija ielicis sirdī nodomu viņu nodot, 3 Jēzus, zinādams, ka Tēvs viņa rokās bija nodevis visu un ka viņš no Dieva ir izgājis un pie Dieva aiziet, 4 piecēlās no mielasta, novilka virsdrēbes un, paņēmis linu drānu, to sev apsēja. 5 Pēc tam viņš ielēja ūdeni mazgājamā traukā un sāka mazgāt mācekļiem kājas, un slaucīja tās linu drānā, ko viņš bija apsējis. 6 Tad viņš nāca pie Sīmaņa Pētera. Tas viņam sacīja: “Kungs, tu mazgāsi man kājas?” 7 Jēzus viņam atbildēja: “Tu tagad nezini, ko es daru, bet pēc tam sapratīsi.” 8 Pēteris viņam sacīja: “Nemūžam tu man nemazgāsi kājas!” Jēzus atbildēja: “Ja es nemazgāšu, tad tev pie manis nav daļas.” 9 Sīmanis Pēteris viņam sacīja: “Kungs, ne tikai manas kājas, bet arī rokas un galvu!” 10 Jēzus sacīja: “Tam, kas ir jau mazgāts, nevajag vairāk kā vien kājas mazgāt, jo viņš viss ir tīrs. Un jūs esat tīri, bet ne visi.” 11 Jēzus zināja, kurš viņu nodos, tādēļ viņš sacīja: “Ne visi jūs esat tīri.” 12 Kad viņš tiem kājas bija nomazgājis, viņš atkal apvilka savas virsdrēbes un apsēdies tiem sacīja: “Vai jūs saprotat, ko es jums esmu darījis? 13 Jūs mani saucat: Skolotājs un Kungs – un pareizi sakāt, jo tas es esmu. 14 Ja nu es, Kungs un Skolotājs, esmu jums mazgājis kājas, tad pienākas, ka arī jūs cits citam kājas mazgājat. 15 Jo es jums esmu devis priekšzīmi, lai jūs darāt, kā es esmu darījis. 16 Patiesi, patiesi es jums saku: kalps nav lielāks par savu kungu, un sūtnis nav lielāks par to, kas viņu sūtījis. 17 Ja jūs to zināt, jūs esat laimīgi, ja vien to darāt. 18 Ne par jums visiem es runāju, es zinu, kuri ir tie, ko esmu izredzējis. Bet lai piepildītos Raksti: kas ar mani maizi ēd, tas ir pacēlis pret mani savu papēdi. – 19 Es jums to saku jau tagad, pirms tas ir noticis, lai jūs, kad tas būs noticis, ticētu, ka ES ESMU. 20 Patiesi, patiesi es jums saku: kas uzņem to, ko es sūtīšu, uzņem mani; bet, kas uzņem mani, uzņem to, kas mani sūtījis.”
Jēzus parāda savu nodevēju
(Mt 26:20–25Mk 14:17–21Lk 22:21–23)21 To sacījis, Jēzus, satraukts garā, liecināja: “Patiesi, patiesi es jums saku: viens no jums mani nodos!” 22 Mācekļi skatījās cits uz citu neziņā, par kuru viņš runā. 23 Viens viņa māceklis, kuru Jēzus mīlēja, bija atgūlies Jēzum cieši blakus. 24 Tad Sīmanis Pēteris tam pamāja un sacīja: “Pavaicā, kurš tas ir, par kuru viņš runā!” 25 Tas, noliecies pie Jēzus krūts, viņam jautāja: “Kungs, kurš tas ir?” 26 Jēzus atbildēja: “Tas, kuram es, iemērcis kumosu, to došu.” Un, kumosu iemērcis, viņš deva to Jūdam, Sīmaņa dēlam Iskariotam. 27 Un pēc šī kumosa tajā iegāja sātans. Jēzus Jūdam sacīja: “Ko dari, to dari drīz.” 28 Bet neviens no tiem, kas tur bija, nesaprata, kādēļ viņš to sacīja. 29 Daži domāja, ka Jēzus tam sacīja: “Ej, pērc, kas mums vajadzīgs svētkiem,” – jo pie Jūdas bija maks. Vai arī – lai dotu kaut ko nabagiem. 30 Kumosu ņēmis, Jūda tūlīt izgāja ārā. Bija nakts.
Jēzus dod jaunu bausli
31 Kad viņš bija izgājis, Jēzus sacīja: “Tagad Cilvēka Dēls ir pagodināts, un Dievs ir pagodināts viņā. 32 Dievs arī pagodinās viņu sevī un pagodinās viņu tūlīt. 33 Bērniņi, vēl mazu brīdi es esmu ar jums. Jūs mani meklēsiet, un, tāpat kā es jūdiem esmu teicis, tā arī jums tagad saku: kurp es aizeju, jūs nevarat nākt. 34 Es jums dodu jaunu bausli – mīliet cits citu! Kā es esmu mīlējis jūs, tā arī jūs mīliet cits citu. 35 Ja jums būs mīlestība savā starpā, visi zinās, ka jūs esat mani mācekļi.”
Jēzus paredz Pētera nodevību
(Mt 26:31–35Mk 14:27–31Lk 22:31–34)36 Sīmanis Pēteris viņam sacīja: “Kungs, kurp tu ej?” Jēzus viņam atbildēja: “Kurp es eju, tu nevari man tagad nākt līdzi, bet vēlāk nāksi.” 37 Pēteris viņam sacīja: “Kungs, kādēļ es tagad nevaru tev iet līdzi? Savu dzīvību es atdošu par tevi!” 38 Jēzus viņam atbildēja: “Savu dzīvību tu atdosi par mani? Patiesi, patiesi es tev saku: vēl gailis nebūs nodziedājis, pirms tu trīs reizes mani būsi noliedzis.”
Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet
1 It was now the day before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. He had always loved those in the world who were his own, and he loved them to the very end.
2 Jesus and his disciples were at supper. The Devil had already put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, the thought of betraying Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had given him complete power; he knew that he had come from God and was going to God. 4 So he rose from the table, took off his outer garment, and tied a towel around his waist. 5 Then he poured some water into a washbasin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Are you going to wash my feet, Lord?”
7 Jesus answered him, “You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
8 Peter declared, “Never at any time will you wash my feet!”
“If I do not wash your feet,” Jesus answered, “you will no longer be my disciple.”
9 Simon Peter answered, “Lord, do not wash only my feet, then! Wash my hands and head, too!”
10 Jesus said, “Those who have taken a bath are completely clean and do not have to wash themselves, except for their feet. All of you are clean—all except one.” ( 11 Jesus already knew who was going to betray him; that is why he said, “All of you, except one, are clean.”)
12 After Jesus had washed their feet, he put his outer garment back on and returned to his place at the table. “Do you understand what I have just done to you?” he asked. 13 “You call me Teacher and Lord, and it is right that you do so, because that is what I am. 14 I, your Lord and Teacher, have just washed your feet. You, then, should wash one another's feet. 15 I have set an example for you, so that you will do just what I have done for you. 16 I am telling you the truth: no slaves are greater than their master, and no messengers are greater than the one who sent them. 17 Now that you know this truth, how happy you will be if you put it into practice!
18 “I am not talking about all of you; I know those I have chosen. But the scripture must come true that says, ‘The man who shared my food turned against me.’ 19 I tell you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe that ‘I Am Who I Am.’ 20 I am telling you the truth: whoever receives anyone I send receives me also; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.”
Jesus Predicts His Betrayal
(Matthew 26.20-25Mark 14.17-21Luke 22.21-23)21 After Jesus had said this, he was deeply troubled and declared openly, “I am telling you the truth: one of you is going to betray me.”
22 The disciples looked at one another, completely puzzled about whom he meant. 23 One of the disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was sitting next to Jesus. 24 Simon Peter motioned to him and said, “Ask him whom he is talking about.”
25 So that disciple moved closer to Jesus' side and asked, “Who is it, Lord?”
26 Jesus answered, “I will dip some bread in the sauce and give it to him; he is the man.” So he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “Hurry and do what you must!” 28 None of the others at the table understood why Jesus said this to him. 29 Since Judas was in charge of the money bag, some of the disciples thought that Jesus had told him to go and buy what they needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.
30 Judas accepted the bread and went out at once. It was night.
The New Commandment
31 After Judas had left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man's glory is revealed; now God's glory is revealed through him. 32 And if God's glory is revealed through him, then God will reveal the glory of the Son of Man in himself, and he will do so at once. 33 My children, I shall not be with you very much longer. You will look for me; but I tell you now what I told the Jewish authorities, ‘You cannot go where I am going.’ 34 And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 If you have love for one another, then everyone will know that you are my disciples.”
Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial
(Matthew 26.31-35Mark 14.27-31Luke 22.31-34)36 “Where are you going, Lord?” Simon Peter asked him.
“You cannot follow me now where I am going,” answered Jesus; “but later you will follow me.”
37 “Lord, why can't I follow you now?” asked Peter. “I am ready to die for you!”
38 Jesus answered, “Are you really ready to die for me? I am telling you the truth: before the rooster crows you will say three times that you do not know me.
