Evangelium secundum Ioannem, 13

1. Ante diem autem festum Pa schae, sciens Iesus quia venit eius hora, ut transeat ex hoc mundo ad Patrem, cum dilexisset suos, qui erant in mundo, in finem dilexit eos.

1. Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2. Et in cena, cum Diabolus iam misisset in corde, ut traderet eum Iudas Simonis Iscariotis,

2. And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

3. sciens quia omnia dedit ei Pater in manus, et quia a Deo exivit et ad Deum vadit,

3. Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

4. surgit a cena et ponit vestimenta sua et, cum accepisset linteum, praecinxit se.

4. rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel.

5. Deinde mittit aquam in pelvem et coepit lavare pedes discipulorum et extergere linteo, quo erat praecinctus.

5. Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

6. Venit ergo ad Simonem Petrum. Dicit ei: “Domine, tu mihi lavas pedes?”.

6. He came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

7. Respondit Iesus et dixit ei: “Quod ego facio, tu nescis modo, scies autem postea”.

7. Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not know now, but afterward you will understand."

8. Dicit ei Petrus: “Non lavabis mihi pedes in aeternum!”. Respondit Iesus ei: “Si non lavero te, non habes partem mecum”.

8. Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part in me."

9. Dicit ei Simon Petrus: “Domine, non tantum pedes meos sed et manus et caput!”.

9. Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!"

10. Dicit ei Iesus: “Qui lotus est, non indiget nisi ut pedes lavet, sed est mundus totus; et vos mundi estis sed non omnes”.

10. Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not every one of you."

11. Sciebat enim quisnam esset, qui traderet eum; propterea dixit: “Non estis mundi omnes”.

11. For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all clean."

12. Postquam ergo lavit pedes eorum et accepit vestimenta sua, cum recubuisset iterum, dixit eis: “Scitis quid fecerim vobis?

12. When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

13. Vos vocatis me: “Magister” et: “Domine”, et bene dicitis; sum etenim.

13. You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

14. Si ergo ego lavi vestros pedes, Dominus et Magister, et vos debetis alter alterius lavare pedes.

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

15. Exemplum enim dedi vobis, ut, quemadmodum ego feci vobis, et vos faciatis.

15. For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

16. Amen, amen dico vobis: Non est servus maior domino suo, neque apostolus maior eo, qui misit illum.

16. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

17. Si haec scitis, beati estis, si facitis ea.

17. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

18. Non de omnibus vobis dico, ego scio, quos elegerim, sed ut impleatur Scriptura: “Qui manducat meum panem, levavit contra me calcaneum suum”.

18. I am not speaking of you all; I know whom I have chosen; it is that the scripture may be fulfilled, `He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.'

19. Amodo dico vobis priusquam fiat, ut credatis, cum factum fuerit, quia ego sum.

19. I tell you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.

20. Amen, amen dico vobis: Qui accipit, si quem misero, me accipit; qui autem me accipit, accipit eum, qui me misit”.

20. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any one whom I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me."

21. Cum haec dixisset Iesus, turbatus est spiritu et protestatus est et dixit: “Amen, amen dico vobis: Unus ex vobis tradet me”.

21. When Jesus had thus spoken, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

22. Aspiciebant ad invicem discipuli, haesitantes de quo diceret.

22. The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

23. Erat recumbens unus ex discipulis eius in sinu Iesu, quem diligebat Iesus.

23. One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying close to the breast of Jesus;

24. Innuit ergo huic Simon Petrus, ut interrogaret: “Quis est, de quo dicit?”.

24. so Simon Peter beckoned to him and said, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."

25. Cum ergo recumberet ille ita supra pectus Iesu, dicit ei: “Domine, quis est?”.

25. So lying thus, close to the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

26. Respondet Iesus: “Ille est, cui ego intinctam buccellam porrexero”. Cum ergo intinxisset buccellam, dat Iudae Simonis Iscariotis.

26. Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27. Et post buccellam tunc introivit in illum Satanas. Dicit ergo ei Iesus: “Quod facis, fac citius”.

27. Then after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."

28. Hoc autem nemo scivit discumbentium ad quid dixerit ei;

28. Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

29. quidam enim putabant quia loculos habebat Iudas, quia dicit ei Iesus: “Eme ea, quae opus sunt nobis ad diem festum”, aut egenis ut aliquid daret.

29. Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor.

30. Cum ergo accepisset ille buccellam, exivit continuo; erat autem nox.

30. So, after receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night.

31. Cum ergo exisset, dicit Iesus: “Nunc clarificatus est Filius hominis, et Deus clarificatus est in eo;

31. When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and in him God is glorified;

32. si Deus clarificatus est in eo, et Deus clarificabit eum in semetipso et continuo clarificabit eum.

32. if God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.

33. Filioli, adhuc modicum vobiscum sum; quaeretis me, et sicut dixi Iudaeis: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire, et vobis dico modo.

33. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, `Where I am going you cannot come.'

34. Mandatum novum do vobis, ut diligatis invicem; sicut dilexi vos, ut et vos diligatis invicem.

34. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35. In hoc cognoscent omnes quia mei discipuli estis: si dilectionem habueritis ad invicem”.

35. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

36. Dicit ei Simon Petrus: “Domine, quo vadis?”. Respondit Iesus: “Quo vado, non potes me modo sequi, sequeris autem postea”.

36. Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward."

37. Dicit ei Petrus: “Domine, quare non possum te sequi modo? Animam meam pro te ponam”.

37. Peter said to him, "Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

38. Respondet Iesus: “Animam tuam pro me pones? Amen, amen dico tibi: Non cantabit gallus, donec me ter neges.

38. Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the cock will not crow, till you have denied me three times.
