41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. 42 Nevertheless, many, even among the rulers, believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

6 So he cometh to Simon Peter: [and] that disciple said to him,

Master, dost thou wash my feet?" 7 Jesus answered, and said to him, "What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou wilt know presently."

8 Peter said to him, "Thou shalt not wash my feet to the age." Jesus answered him, " If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me." 9 Simon Peter said to him, "Master, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." 10 Jesus said to him,

49" For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he hath commanded me, what I should enjoin, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment" He that hath bathed, needeth is aionian life: whatever there- to wash [his feet] only; and he fore I say, I so speak as the Fa- is entirely clean: and ye are ther hath given me in charge." clean, but not all."

deliver him up: wherefore he said, "Ye are not all clean." 12 So, after he had washed their feet, and had taken his mantle, and had again placed himself at table, he said to them, "Know ye what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me, Teacher, and Master: and ye say well: for so I am. 14 If I then, your Master and Teacher, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet: 15 for I have given you an example, that ye also may do as I have done to you.

all: 18" I speak not of I know whom I have chosen : but that scripture must be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted up his heel against me.' 19 Now I tell you, before it come to pass, that, when it shall come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that receiveth whom I shall send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.”

21 WHEN Jesus had said thus, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, "Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of

you will deliver me up." 22 [Then] the disciples looked on one another, doubting of whom he spake.

23 Now there was placed on the bosom of Jesus one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it might be, of whom he spake. 25 He then who leaned on the breast of Jesus, said to him, "Master, who is it?" 26 "It is he to Jesus answered, whom I shall give a piece of bread, when I have dipped it." And having dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 And, after the piece of bread, the adversary entered into him.* Then said Jesus to him; "What thou dost, do quickly."

28 Now no one at the table knew why he spake this to him. 29 For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him, "Buy whatever we have need of for the festival;" or, that he should give something to the poor. 30 He then who had received the piece of bread, went out immediately: now it was night.

31 WHEN he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified by him. 32 Since God is glorified by him, God also will glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him.

*The adversary entered into him.] "See on Luke xxii. 3, and ver. 2. From our Lord's action Newcome. in such circumstances, Judas seems to have inferred that he was marked out as the traitor. This so enraged him, as to confirm his resolution of betraying Jesus immediately." "Wicked men, instigated by their bad passions, are spoken of as possessed by the adversary, satan, or the devil: as madmen are represented as possessed by demons, or human ghosts, and with as little foundation. But it was the current language of the times." Im. Ver. note.

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Master, how is it that thou wilt soon manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?" 23 Jesus answered, and said to him, "If any man love me, heme which beareth not fruit, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. 24 He who loveth me not, keepeth not my words: and yet the word which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's, who sent me.
