1 I t was before the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. Jesus knew the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father. He had loved His own who were in the world. He loved them to the end.

Antes de la fiesta de la Pascua, sabiendo Jesús que Su hora había llegado para pasar de este mundo al Padre, habiendo amado a los Suyos que estaban en el mundo, los amó hasta el fin.

2 H e and His followers were having supper. Satan had put the thought into the heart of Judas Iscariot of handing Jesus over to the leaders of the country.

Y durante la cena, como ya el diablo había puesto en el corazón de Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, el que Lo entregara,

3 J esus knew the Father had put everything into His hands. He knew He had come from God and was going back to God.

Jesús, sabiendo que el Padre había puesto todas las cosas en Sus manos, y que de Dios había salido y a Dios volvía,

4 J esus got up from the supper and took off His coat. He picked up a cloth and put it around Him.

se levantó de la cena y se quitó el manto, y tomando una toalla, se la ciñó.

5 T hen He put water into a wash pan and began to wash the feet of His followers. He dried their feet with the cloth He had put around Himself. Peter Speaks Out against Jesus Washing His Feet

Luego echó agua en una vasija, y comenzó a lavar los pies de los discípulos y a secárselos con la toalla que tenía ceñida.

6 J esus came to Simon Peter. Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”

Cuando llegó a Simón Pedro, éste Le dijo: “Señor, ¿Tú me vas a lavar a mí los pies?”

7 J esus answered him, “You do not understand now what I am doing but you will later.”

Jesús le respondió: “Ahora tú no comprendes lo que Yo hago, pero lo entenderás después.”

8 P eter said to Him, “I will never let You wash my feet.” Jesus said, “Unless I wash you, you will not be a part of Me.”

“¡Jamás me lavarás los pies!” Le dijo Pedro. “Si no te lavo, no tienes parte conmigo,” le respondió Jesús.

9 S imon Peter said to Him, “Lord, do not wash only my feet, but wash my hands and my head also.”

Simón Pedro Le dijo: “Señor, entonces no sólo los pies, sino también las manos y la cabeza.”

10 J esus said to him, “Anyone who has washed his body needs only to wash his feet. Then he is clean all over. You are all clean except one.”

Jesús le dijo: “El que se ha bañado no necesita lavarse, excepto los pies, pues está todo limpio; y ustedes están limpios, pero no todos.”

11 J esus knew who was going to hand Him over to the leaders. That is why He said, “You are all clean except one.” Jesus Tells Why He Washed Their Feet

Porque sabía quién Lo iba a entregar; por eso dijo: “No todos están limpios.” Jesús, Ejemplo Supremo de Humildad

12 J esus washed their feet and put on His coat. Then He sat down again and said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you?

Entonces, cuando acabó de lavarles los pies, tomó Su manto, y sentándose a la mesa otra vez, les dijo: “¿Saben lo que les he hecho?

13 Y ou call Me Teacher and Lord. You are right because that is what I am.

Ustedes Me llaman Maestro y Señor; y tienen razón, porque Lo soy.

14 I am your Teacher and Lord. I have washed your feet. You should wash each other’s feet also.

Pues si Yo, el Señor y el Maestro, les lavé los pies, ustedes también deben lavarse los pies unos a otros.

15 I have done this to show you what should be done. You should do as I have done to you.

Porque les he dado ejemplo, para que como Yo les he hecho, también ustedes lo hagan.

16 F or sure, I tell you, a workman who is owned by someone is not greater than his owner. One who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him.

En verdad les digo, que un siervo no es mayor que su señor, ni un enviado es mayor que el que lo envió.

17 I f you know these things, you will be happy if you do them.

Si saben esto, serán felices si lo practican.”

18 “ I am not speaking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. What is written in the Holy Writings must happen. It says, ‘The man who eats bread with Me has turned against Me.’

No hablo de todos ustedes. Yo conozco a los que he escogido; pero es para que se cumpla la Escritura: ‘ El que come Mi pan ha levantado contra Mi su talon.’

19 I tell you this now before it happens. After it happens, you will believe that I am Who I say I am, the Christ.

Se lo digo desde ahora, antes de que pase, para que cuando suceda, crean que Yo soy.

20 F or sure, I tell you, he who receives the one I send out, receives Me. He who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.” Jesus Tells of the One Who Will Hand Him Over to the Leaders

En verdad les digo, que el que recibe al que Yo envíe, Me recibe a Mí; y el que Me recibe a Mí, recibe a Aquél que Me envió.” Jesús Identifica al Traidor

21 W hen Jesus had said this, He was troubled in heart. He told them in very plain words, saying, “For sure, I tell you, one of you is going to hand Me over to the leaders of the country.”

Habiendo dicho Jesús esto, se angustió en espíritu, y testificó y dijo: “En verdad les digo que uno de ustedes Me entregará.”

22 T he followers began to look at each other. They did not know which one He was speaking of.

Los discípulos se miraban unos a otros, y estaban perplejos sin saber de quién hablaba.

23 O ne follower, whom Jesus loved, was beside Jesus.

Uno de Sus discípulos, el que Jesús amaba, estaba a la mesa reclinado en el pecho de Jesús.

24 S imon Peter got this follower to look his way. He wanted him to ask Jesus which one He was speaking of.

Por eso Simón Pedro le hizo señas, y le dijo: “Di nos de quién habla.”

25 W hile close beside Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”

Entonces él, recostándose de nuevo sobre el pecho de Jesús, Le dijo: “Señor, ¿quién es ?”

26 J esus answered, “It is the one I give this piece of bread to after I have put it in the dish.” Then He put the bread in the dish and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

Entonces Jesús respondió: “Es aquél a quien Yo le dé el pedazo de pan que voy a mojar.” Y después de mojar el pedazo de pan, lo tomó y se lo dio a Judas, hijo de Simón Iscariote.

27 A fter Judas had eaten the piece of bread, Satan went into him. Jesus said to Judas, “What you are going to do, do in a hurry.”

Y después de comer el pan, Satanás entró en él. Entonces Jesús le dijo: “Lo que vas a hacer, hazlo pronto.”

28 N o one at the supper knew why Jesus had said this to Judas.

Pero ninguno de los que estaban sentados a la mesa entendió por qué le dijo esto.

29 T hey thought it was because Judas carried the bag of money, and Jesus had said that Judas should buy what they needed for the religious gathering. Or they thought Judas should give something to poor people.

Porque algunos pensaban que como Judas tenía la bolsa del dinero, Jesús le decía: “Compra lo que necesitamos para la fiesta,” o que diera algo a los pobres.

30 A s soon as Judas had taken the piece of bread, he went out. It was night. Love—the Greatest Law

Y Judas, después de recibir el bocado, salió inmediatamente; y ya era de noche. Un Mandamiento Nuevo

31 A fter Judas went out, Jesus said, “The Son of Man is now honored and God has been honored in Him.

Entonces, cuando salió, Jesús dijo: “Ahora es glorificado el Hijo del Hombre, y Dios es glorificado en El.

32 I f God is honored in Him, God will also honor Him in Himself right now.

Si Dios es glorificado en El, Dios también Lo glorificará en El mismo, y Lo glorificará enseguida.

33 L ittle children, I will be with you only a little while. You will look for Me. I say to you what I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come!’

Hijitos, estaré con ustedes un poco más de tiempo. Me buscarán, y como dije a los Judíos, ahora también les digo a ustedes: ‘adonde Yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir.’

34 I give you a new Law. You are to love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you.

Un mandamiento nuevo les doy: ‘que se amen los unos a los otros;’ que como Yo los he amado, así también se amen los unos a los otros.

35 I f you love each other, all men will know you are My followers.” Jesus Tells How Peter Will Lie about Him

En esto conocerán todos que son Mis discípulos, si se tienen amor los unos a los otros.” Jesús Predice la Negación de Pedro

36 S imon Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “You cannot follow Me now where I am going. Later you will follow Me.”

“Señor, ¿adónde vas?” Le preguntó Simón Pedro. Jesús respondió: “Adonde Yo voy, tú no Me puedes seguir ahora, pero Me seguirás después.”

37 P eter said to Jesus, “Why can I not follow You now? I will die for You.”

Pedro Le dijo: “Señor, ¿por qué no Te puedo seguir ahora mismo? ¡ Yo daré mi vida por Ti!”

38 J esus answered Peter, “Will you die for Me? For sure, I tell you, before a rooster crows, you will have said three times that you do not know Me.”

Jesús le respondió: “¿Tu vida darás por Mí? En verdad te digo, que no cantará el gallo sin que antes Me hayas negado tres veces.
