Episode 267: Love one another

John 13-16

Jesus washes his disciples' feet

13 ^1-2 After supper, before the feast of the Passover, the devil was put in Judas Iscariot's heart.

^3-5 Jesus took off his clothes, wrapped a towel around his waist, poured water into a bowl and began to wash his disciples feet.

^6-8 When Jesus came to Peter, he said, "You'll never wash my feet."

Jesus said, “If I don't wash your feet, you have nothing to do with me.”

⁹ Peter said, “Okay, but wash my hands and my head, too.”

^10-11 Jesus said, “If you're clean, you only need your feet washed. And you're all clean. Well, most of you anyway.”

¹² When Jesus was finished, he put his clothes on, and said,

Do you know what I just did?

¹³ You call me Master and Lord. And I am.

¹⁴ If I, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.

¹⁵ I've set an example for you.

Judas betrays Jesus

²¹ Jesus said, “One of you will betray me.”

²² The disciples looked at each other, wondering who it was.

²³ The disciple whom Jesus loved was leaning on Jesus's breast.

²⁴ Peter asked him to ask Jesus who it was.

²⁵ So the disciple lying on Jesus's breast said to him, “Who is it, Lord?”

²⁶ Jesus said, “It's the one that I give this piece of bread to after I dip it in the sauce.”

And he gave the piece of bread to Judas Iscariot.

²⁷ After supper, Satan entered into Judas.

And Jesus said to him, “Do what you're going to do quickly.”

^30-31 When Judas had left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of man will be glorified, and God will be glorified in him.”

A new commandment: Love one another

³⁴ Jesus said,

I give you a new commandment: Love one another, as I have loved you.

³⁵ If you love each other, everyone will know you're my disciples.

The Farewell Discourse

14 Jesus said,

² My Father's house has many mansions. I'm going to prepare a place for you.

⁵ Thomas said, “Lord, we don't know where you're going. How can we know the way?”

⁶ Jesus said,

I'm the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me.

⁷ If you've seen me, you've seen the Father.

⁸ Philip said, “Show us the Father and we'll be satisfied.”

⁹ Jesus said,

Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don't know me?

If you've seen me, you've seen the Father.

¹² Whoever believes in me will be able to do even greater miracles than I have done.

¹³ I'll give you whatever you ask for in my name.

¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁶ I'll ask the Father and he'll give you another Comforter, who will live with you forever.

²¹ If you love me, my Father and I will love you.

²⁶ The Father will send the Holy Ghost, who will teach you everything and remind you of the things I said to you.

²⁸ My Father is greater than I.

³⁰ I won't say much more, since the prince of this world is coming.

15 ¹ I’m the true vine. My Father is the gardener.

³ Now you're all clean. My words have cleaned you.

⁵ I'm the vine. You're the branches.

⁶ If you're not attached to me, you'll be burned.

⁷ But if you're attached to me, I'll give you whatever you ask for.

¹³ There's no greater love than this: that a friend give up his life for his friends.

¹⁴ And you are my friends, if you do whatever I say.

¹⁵ Everything my Father told me, I've told you.

¹⁶ Whatever you ask the Father in my name will be given to you.

¹⁸ If the world hates you, remember that it hated me before it hated you.

¹⁹ If you were of the world, it would love you. But you're not of the world, so it hates you.

²³ Whoever hates me hates my Father.

²⁶ Later I'll send the Comforter, the spirit of truth, to you.

He'll come from the Father and will tell you about me.

16 ^1-2 They'll expel you from the synagogues.

And the time will come when they think killing you does a service to God.

³ They'll do these things because they don't know the Father or me.

⁵ But now I go to him who sent me. And none of you ask me, "Where are you going?"

⁷ It's better for you if I go away. If I don't go away, the Comforter won't come to you. But if I do, I'll send him to you.

^8-9 When he comes, he'll accuse the world of the sin of not believing in me.

^13-14 When the Spirit of truth comes, he'll glorify me.

¹⁵ Everything the Father has is mine.

²³ Whatever you ask the Father in my name will be given to you.

²⁹ After Jesus finished speaking, his disciples said to him,

³⁰ Now you're speaking clearly.

Now we know that you know everything, and that you come from God.

³¹ Jesus said to them

Do you now believe?

³² The time is coming when you'll all scatter and leave me alone.

³³ The world will have tribulation. But be happy. I've overcome the world.
