John 13:7-38 The Message (MSG)

7. Jesus answered, “You don’t understand now what I’m doing, but it will be clear enough to you later.”

8. Peter persisted, “You’re not going to wash my feet—ever!”Jesus said, “If I don’t wash you, you can’t be part of what I’m doing.”

9. “Master!” said Peter. “Not only my feet, then. Wash my hands! Wash my head!”

21. After he said these things, Jesus became visibly upset, and then he told them why. “One of you is going to betray me.”

30. Judas, with the piece of bread, left. It was night.

33. “Children, I am with you for only a short time longer. You are going to look high and low for me. But just as I told the Jews, I’m telling you: ‘Where I go, you are not able to come.’

36. Simon Peter asked, “Master, just where are you going?”Jesus answered, “You can’t now follow me where I’m going. You will follow later.”

37. “Master,” said Peter, “why can’t I follow now? I’ll lay down my life for you!”

38. “Really? You’ll lay down your life for me? The truth is that before the rooster crows, you’ll deny me three times.”
