Johannes 13 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Jesus vasker disciplenes fødder

1 Alt var klar til at påskehøjtiden kunne begynde. Jesus vidste, at tiden var kommet til, at han skulle gå bort fra denne verden og vende tilbage til Faderen. Den kærlighed, han hele tiden havde haft til dem, der fulgte ham her på jorden, ville han vise endnu engang på den sidste aften, hvor de var sammen. 2 Jesus begyndte nu påskemåltidet sammen med sine disciple. Djævelen havde allerede indgivet Judas Iskariot den tanke, at han skulle forråde Jesus. 3 Og Jesus vidste, at Faderen havde lagt alt i hans hænder. Han vidste, at det var Gud, der havde sendt ham, og at han snart skulle vende tilbage til Gud. 4 Jesus rejste sig fra det sted, hvor han lå ved bordet, og tog sin yderkjortel* af. Så tog han et håndklæde og bandt det om livet. 5 Derefter hældte han vand i et vandfad og gav sig til at vaske disciplenes fødder, mens de lå på deres pladser rundt om bordet, og han tørrede deres fødder med det håndklæde, han havde om livet. 6 Da han kom til Simon Peter, sagde Peter til ham: „Herre, vil du virkelig vaske mine fødder?” 7 „Lige nu forstår du ikke, hvorfor jeg gør det, men senere vil du forstå det.” 8 „Nej! Du skal bestemt ikke vaske mine fødder!” „Hvis jeg ikke gør det, kan du ikke være en af mine disciple.” 9 „Så vask ikke bare fødderne, Herre, men også hænderne og hovedet!” 10 „Den, som har været i bad, er ren og behøver kun at vaske fødderne,” svarede Jesus. „Og I er rene—dog ikke alle.” 11 Det sagde han, fordi han vidste, hvem der ville forråde ham. 12 Da Jesus havde vasket deres fødder, tog han igen sin yderkjortel på, lagde sig ved bordet og spurgte: „Ved I, hvorfor jeg gjorde det? 13 I kalder mig ‚Herre’ og ‚Mester’, og det gør I med rette, for det er jeg. 14 Når nu jeg, der er jeres Herre og Mester, har vasket jeres fødder, bør I også vaske hinandens fødder. 15 Jeg har givet jer et forbillede. Gør det samme for hinanden, som jeg nu har gjort for jer. 16 Det siger jeg jer: En tjener står ikke over sin herre, og de, der bliver sendt ud på en opgave, skal følge de instrukser, de har fået af dem, der sendte dem af sted. 17 Det ved I jo godt. Men I oplever først velsignelsen, når I handler på det, I ved. 18 Hvad jeg siger, gælder ikke jer alle, for jeg ved, hvem jeg har udvalgt. Skriften siger: ‚En af dem, der spiser sammen med mig, vil bekæmpe mig.’* Det går snart i opfyldelse. 19 Jeg siger det allerede nu, for at I kan tro på mig, når det sker. 20 Det siger jeg jer: Den, der tager imod dem, jeg sender ud, tager imod mig—og den, der tager imod mig, tager imod Faderen, som sendte mig.”

Jesus forudsiger, at Judas vil forråde ham

21 Derefter blev Jesus stærkt bevæget i sin ånd og sagde: „Det siger jeg jer: En af jer vil forråde mig!” 22 Disciplene så spørgende på hinanden. Ingen vidste, hvem han hentydede til. 23 Den discipel, som Jesus elskede særlig højt, lå til bords ved siden af Jesus. 24 Derfor nikkede Simon Peter til ham over bordet for at få ham til at spørge Jesus, hvem det kunne være. 25 Den anden discipel lænede så hovedet tilbage mod Jesu bryst og spurgte: „Hvem er det, Herre?” 26 „Det er ham, som jeg giver det stykke brød, jeg nu dypper i skålen,” svarede Jesus. Så dyppede han et stykke brød og gav det til Judas Iskariot. 27 Så snart Judas havde fået brødet, kom Satan ind i ham, og Jesus sagde: „Gør det, du har i sinde—men gør det snart!” 28 Ingen af de andre ved bordet forstod, hvorfor han sagde det til ham. 29 Nogle troede, at Jesus bad Judas købe ind til højtiden eller give nogle penge til de fattige. Det var nemlig ham, der gik rundt med pengepungen. 30 Judas tog nu brødet, rejste sig og gik. Det var nat.

Det nye bud, kærlighedsbudet

31 Da Judas var gået, sagde Jesus: „Nu er tiden kommet, hvor Menneskesønnen vil blive æret, og det, han gør, vil bringe Gud ære. 32 Siden han vil bringe Gud ære, vil Gud også bringe ham ære, og det kommer til at ske meget snart. 33 Venner, nu varer det ikke længe, før jeg skal bort. I vil lede efter mig, men som jeg tidligere sagde til de jødiske ledere, siger jeg nu også til jer: Der, hvor jeg skal hen, kan I ikke komme. 34 Derfor giver jeg jer en ny befaling: I skal elske hinanden. Som jeg har elsket jer, skal I elske hinanden! 35 Hvis I har kærlighed til hinanden, vil alle kunne se, at I er mine disciple.”

Jesus forudser, at Peter vil svigte ham

36 „Men Herre,” sagde Peter, „hvor går du hen?” Jesus svarede: „Du kan ikke følge mig nu, men senere vil du komme til mig.” 37 „Hvorfor kan jeg ikke følge dig nu? Jeg er parat til at dø for dig!” 38 „Dø for mig?” sagde Jesus. „Inden hanen galer, har du tre gange nægtet at kendes ved mig!”

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

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* 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. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant* is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18 I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled,* ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22 The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus’ side,* 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus* of whom he was speaking. 25 So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.

A New Commandment

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ 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.”

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.” 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.
