Johannes 13 | Nádej pre kazdého

1 V predvečer sviatkov Veľkej noci Ježiš vedel, že nastal čas, aby opustil tento svet a odišiel k Otcovi. Tak veľmi miloval tých, ktorí sa k nemu priznávali, že im prejavoval lásku až do konca. 2 Pri večeri, keď už diabol vnukol Judášovi Iškariotskému, synovi Šimona, aby ho zradil, vstal Ježiš od stola, 3 a hoci si bol vedomý, že mu Otec dal neobmedzenú moc a že od Boha prišiel a k nemu sa teraz vracia, 4 odložil vrchný odev, vzal uterák a prepásal sa ním. 5 Potom nalial vodu do umývadla a začal učeníkom umývať a utierať zaprášené nohy. 6 Keď prišiel rad na Petra, ten sa začal brániť: „Pane, ty mi predsa nebudeš umývať nohy!“ 7 Ježiš mu odpovedal: „Teraz nechápeš, prečo to robím, ale raz to pochopíš.“ 8 „Nikdy nedovolím, aby si mi umýval nohy!“ ďalej odporoval Peter.„Ale ak ťa neumyjem, nebudeš mať so mnou podiel!“ odpovedal mu Ježiš. 9 „Tak mi umy nielen nohy, ale aj ruky a hlavu!“ zvolal Peter. 10 „Kto sa vykúpal, je celý čistý,“ odpovedal mu Ježiš. „Stačí mu iba zmyť prach z nôh. Aj vy ste čistí, ale nie všetci!“ 11 Ježiš totiž vedel, kto ho zradí. Preto povedal: „Nie všetci sú čistí.“ 12 Keď umyl nohy poslednému, obliekol sa, vrátil sa k stolu a spýtal sa ich: „Pochopili ste, prečo som to urobil? 13 Oslovujete ma Majstre a Pane. A je to správne. Naozaj som. 14 Ak som vám teda ja, váš Majster a Pán, umyl nohy, aj vy ste povinní takto si navzájom slúžiť. 15 Dal som vám príklad. Aj vy konajte podobne. 16 Pamätajte vždy na to, že sluha nie je väčší ako pán. A vyslanec nie je dôležitejší ako ten, čo ho vyslal. 17 Ak to viete, budete šťastní, keď tak budete konať. 18 To, čo som povedal, neplatí o vás všetkých. Ja viem, ktorých som si vyvolil. Ale má sa naplniť výrok Písma: Ten, ktorý jedáva so mnou chlieb, podloží mi nohu. 19 Vravím vám to teraz, aby ste potom, keď sa to stane, uverili, že bola reč o mne. 20 A nezabudnite, že kto prijíma toho, koho pošlem, mňa prijíma. A kto prijíma mňa, prijíma toho, ktorý mňa poslal.“

„Jeden z vás ma zradí“

21 Po týchto slovách zovrela Ježiša úzkosť a smutne zopakoval: „Áno, je to pravda, jeden z vás ma zradí.“ 22 Učeníci sa bezradne pozerali jeden na druhého a usilovali sa uhádnuť, na koho asi myslí. 23 Po Ježišovom boku, opretý o jeho hruď, sedel učeník, ktorého mal Ježiš veľmi rád. 24 Tomu dal Šimon Peter znamenie, aby sa spýtal, o kom to hovorí. 25 Naklonil sa teda bližšie k Ježišovi a spýtal sa ho: „Pane, kto je to?“ 26 „Je to ten, pre ktorého namočím kúsok chleba a podám mu ho,“ povedal Ježiš. Namočil chlieb a podal ho Judášovi, synovi Šimona Iškariotského. 27 A hneď v tej chvíli vstúpil doňho satan. „Ponáhľaj sa, Judáš! Urob rýchlo, čo mieniš urobiť!“ pobádal ho Ježiš. 28 No nik za stolom nechápal, prečo mu to hovorí. 29 Keďže Judáš mal spoločnú pokladnicu, niektorí sa domnievali, že ho posiela nakúpiť potraviny na sviatky, alebo dať niečo chudobným. 30 Judáš si vzal chlieb a odišiel sám do noci.

Nové prikázanie lásky

31 Keď Judáš odišiel, povedal Ježiš: „Teraz Boh ukáže, kto je Syn človeka, a tým sa zjaví aj Božia sláva. 32 Syn človeka oslávi Boha, a potom aj Boh oslávi Syna človeka. Stane sa to veľmi skoro. 33 Moji drahí, zostanem s vami už len veľmi krátko. Budete ma hľadať, ale márne. Ako som povedal Židom, takisto aj vám vravím: Tam, kam idem, nemôžete ísť so mnou. 34 No dávam vám nové prikázanie: Milujte sa navzájom, ako som vás ja miloval. 35 Podľa úprimnej lásky pozná svet, že ste naozaj moji učeníci.“ 36 Šimon Peter sa ho spýtal: „Pane, kam to chceš ísť?“Ježiš mu odpovedal: „Tentoraz nemôžeš ísť so mnou, ale prídeš za mnou neskôr.“ 37 „Ale prečo nemôžem ísť teraz s tebou?“ nevzdával sa Peter. „Veď som ochotný ísť s tebou aj na smrť.“ 38 „Ísť so mnou aj na smrť?“ spýtal sa Ježiš. „Vravím ti, že ma tri razy zaprieš ešte skôr, ako ráno zakikiríka kohút.“

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.
