Called to serve
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 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4 rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8 Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you*n2 are clean, but not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.” 12 When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you…34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
1 Y antes de la fiesta de la pascua, sabiendo Jesús que su hora había llegado para que pasase de este mundo al Padre, como había amado a los suyos que estaban en el mundo, los amó hasta el fin. 2 Y cuando terminó la cena, el diablo habiendo ya puesto en el corazón de Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, que le entregase; 3 sabiendo Jesús que el Padre le había dado todas las cosas en sus manos, y que había venido de Dios, y a Dios iba, 4 se levantó de la cena, y se quitó su túnica, y tomando una toalla, se ciñó. 5 Luego puso agua en un lebrillo, y comenzó a lavar los pies de los discípulos, y a enjugarlos con la toalla con que estaba ceñido. 6 Entonces vino a Simón Pedro; y Pedro le dijo: Señor, ¿tú me lavas los pies? 7 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: “Lo que yo hago, tú no lo entiendes ahora; pero lo entenderás después.” 8 Pedro le dijo: No me lavarás los pies jamás. Jesús le respondió: “Si no te lavare, no tendrás parte conmigo.” 9 Le dijo Simón Pedro: Señor, no sólo mis pies, sino también mis manos y mi cabeza. 10 Le dijo Jesús: “El que ha sido lavado, no necesita sino que lave sus pies, porque está todo limpio; y vosotros sois limpios, aunque no todos.” 11 Pues Él sabía quién le iba a entregar, por eso dijo: “No sois limpios todos.” 12 Así que, después que les hubo lavado los pies, y que hubo tomado su túnica, se sentó otra vez, y les dijo: “¿Sabéis lo que os he hecho?” 13 “Vosotros me llamáis Maestro, y Señor, y decís bien, porque lo soy.” 14 “Pues si yo, vuestro Señor y Maestro, he lavado vuestros pies, vosotros también debéis lavaros los pies los unos a los otros.” 15 “Porque ejemplo os he dado, para que también vosotros hagáis como yo os he hecho…34 “Un mandamiento nuevo os doy: Que os améis unos a otros; que como yo os he amado, así también os améis unos a otros.” 35 “En esto conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si tuviereis amor los unos con los otros.”
