PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Προ δε της εορτής του πάσχα εξεύρων ο Ιησούς ότι ήλθεν η ώρα αυτού διά να μεταβή εκ του κόσμου τούτου προς τον Πατέρα, αγαπήσας τους ιδικούς του τους εν τω κόσμω, μέχρι τέλους ηγάπησεν αυτούς.
1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
1 Πρὸ δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς τοῦ πάσχα εἰδὼς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἐλήλυθεν αὐτοῦ ἡ ὥρα ἵνα μεταβῇ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, ἀγαπήσας τοὺς ἰδίους τοὺς ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, εἰς τέλος ἠγάπησεν αὐτούς.
2 Και αφού έγεινε δείπνος, ο δε διάβολος είχεν ήδη βάλει εις την καρδίαν του Ιούδα Σίμωνος του Ισκαριώτου να παραδώση αυτόν,
2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
2 καὶ δείπνου γενομένου, τοῦ διαβόλου ἤδη βεβληκότος εἰς τὴν καρδίαν Ἰούδα Σίμωνος Ἰσκαριώτου ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῷ,
3 εξεύρων ο Ιησούς ότι πάντα έδωκεν εις αυτόν ο Πατήρ εις τας χείρας, και ότι από του Θεού εξήλθε και προς τον Θεόν υπάγει,
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
3 εἰδὼς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι πάντα δέδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ πατὴρ εἰς τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθε καὶ πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν ὑπάγει,
4 εγείρεται εκ του δείπνου και εκδύεται τα ιμάτια αυτού, και λαβών προσόψιον διεζώσθη·
4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
4 ἐγείρεται ἐκ τοῦ δείπνου καὶ τίθησι τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ λαβὼν λέντιον διέζωσεν ἑαυτόν.
5 έπειτα βάλλει ύδωρ εις τον νιπτήρα, και ήρχισε να νίπτη τους πόδας των μαθητών και να σπογγίζη με το προσόψιον, με το οποίον ήτο διεζωσμένος.
5 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
5 εἶτα βάλλει ὕδωρ εἰς τὸν νιπτῆρα, καὶ ἤρξατο νίπτειν τοὺς πόδας τῶν μαθητῶν καὶ ἐκμάσσειν τῷ λεντίῳ ᾧ ἦν διεζωσμένος.
6 Έρχεται λοιπόν προς τον Σίμωνα Πέτρον, και λέγει προς αυτόν εκείνος· Κύριε, συ μου νίπτεις τους πόδας;
6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
6 ἔρχεται οὖν πρὸς Σίμωνα Πέτρον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ἐκεῖνος· Κύριε, σύ μου νίπτεις τοὺς πόδας;
7 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτόν· Εκείνο, το οποίον εγώ κάμνω, συ δεν εξεύρεις τώρα, θέλεις όμως γνωρίσει μετά ταύτα.
7 Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
7 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ὃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ, σὺ οὐκ οἶδας ἄρτι, γνώσῃ δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα.
8 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Πέτρος· Δεν θέλεις νίψει τους πόδας μου εις τον αιώνα. Απεκρίθη προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Εάν δεν σε νίψω, δεν έχεις μέρος μετ' εμού.
8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”
8 λέγει αὐτῷ Πέτρος· οὐ μὴ νίψῃς τοὺς πόδας μου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐὰν μὴ νίψω σε, οὐκ ἔχεις μέρος μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ.
9 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, μη τους πόδας μου μόνον, αλλά και τας χείρας και την κεφαλήν.
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
9 λέγει αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, μὴ τοὺς πόδας μου μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν κεφαλήν.
10 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Ο λελουμένος δεν έχει χρείαν ειμή τους πόδας να νιφθή, αλλ' είναι όλος καθαρός· και σεις είσθε καθαροί, αλλ' ουχί πάντες.
10 Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”
10 λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὁ λελουμένος οὐ χρείαν ἔχει ἢ τοὺς πόδας νίψασθαι, ἀλλ᾽ ἔστι καθαρὸς ὅλος· καὶ ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστε, ἀλλ᾽ οὐχὶ πάντες.
11 Διότι ήξευρεν εκείνον, όστις έμελλε να παραδώση αυτόν· διά τούτο είπε· Δεν είσθε πάντες καθαροί.
11 For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
11 ᾔδει γὰρ τὸν παραδιδόντα αὐτόν· διὰ τοῦτο εἶπεν· οὐχὶ πάντες καθαροί ἐστε.
12 Αφού λοιπόν ένιψε τους πόδας αυτών και έλαβε τα ιμάτια αυτού, καθήσας πάλιν είπε προς αυτούς· Εξεύρετε τι έκαμον εις εσάς;
12 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
12 Ὅτε οὖν ἔνιψε τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, ἀναπεσὼν πάλιν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· γινώσκετε τί πεποίηκα ὑμῖν;
13 Σεις με φωνάζετε, Ο Διδάσκαλος και ο Κύριος, και καλώς λέγετε, διότι είμαι.
13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
13 ὑμεῖς φωνεῖτέ με, ὁ Διδάσκαλος καὶ ὁ Κύριος, καὶ καλῶς λέγετε· εἰμὶ γάρ.
14 Εάν λοιπόν εγώ, ο Κύριος και ο Διδάσκαλος, σας ένιψα τους πόδας, και σεις χρεωστείτε να νίπτητε τους πόδας αλλήλων.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
14 εἰ οὖν ἐγὼ ἔνιψα ὑμῶν τοὺς πόδας, ὁ Κύριος καὶ ὁ Διδάσκαλος, καὶ ὑμεῖς ὀφείλετε ἀλλήλων νίπτειν τοὺς πόδας.
15 Διότι παράδειγμα έδωκα εις εσάς, διά να κάμνητε και σεις, καθώς εγώ έκαμον εις εσάς.
15 For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
15 ὑπόδειγμα γὰρ δέδωκα ὑμῖν, ἵνα καθὼς ἐγὼ ἐποίησα ὑμῖν, καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιῆτε·
16 Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω, δεν είναι δούλος ανώτερος του κυρίου αυτού, ουδέ απόστολος ανώτερος του πέμψαντος αυτόν.
16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
16 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ ἔστι δοῦλος μείζων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἀπόστολος μείζων τοῦ πέμψαντος αὐτόν.
17 Εάν εξεύρητε ταύτα, μακάριοι είσθε εάν κάμνητε αυτά.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
17 εἰ ταῦτα οἴδατε, μακάριοί ἐστε ἐὰν ποιῆτε αὐτά.
18 Δεν λέγω τούτο περί πάντων υμών· εγώ εξεύρω ποίους εξέλεξα· αλλά διά να πληρωθή η γραφή, Ο τρώγων μετ' εμού τον άρτον εσήκωσεν επ' εμέ την πτέρναν αυτού.
18 I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’
18 οὐ περὶ πάντων ὑμῶν λέγω· ἐγὼ οἶδα οὓς ἐξελεξάμην· ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ, ὁ τρώγων μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὸν ἄρτον ἐπῆρεν ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ τὴν πτέρναν αὐτοῦ.
19 Από του νυν σας λέγω τούτο πριν γείνη, διά να πιστεύσητε όταν γείνη, ότι εγώ είμαι.
19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
19 ἀπ᾽ ἄρτι λέγω ὑμῖν πρὸ τοῦ γενέσθαι, ἵνα ὅταν γένηται πιστεύσητε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι.
20 Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω, όστις δέχεται όντινα πέμψω, εμέ δέχεται, και όστις δέχεται, εμέ δέχεται τον πέμψαντά με.
20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
20 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ λαμβάνων ἐάν τινα πέμψω, ἐμὲ λαμβάνει, ὁ δὲ ἐμὲ λαμβάνων λαμβάνει τὸν πέμψαντά με.
21 Αφού είπε ταύτα ο Ιησούς, εταράχθη την ψυχήν και εμαρτύρησε και είπεν· Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω ότι εις εξ υμών θέλει με παραδώσει.
21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
21 Ταῦτα εἰπὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐταράχθη τῷ πνεύματι, καὶ ἐμαρτύρησε καὶ εἶπεν· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με.
22 Έβλεπον λοιπόν εις αλλήλους οι μαθηταί, απορούντες περί τίνος λέγει.
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
22 ἔβλεπον οὖν εἰς ἀλλήλους οἱ μαθηταί, ἀπορούμενοι περὶ τίνος λέγει.
23 Εκάθητο δε κεκλιμένος εις τον κόλπον του Ιησού εις των μαθητών αυτού, τον οποίον ηγάπα ο Ιησούς.
23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
23 ἦν δὲ ἀνακείμενος εἷς ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς·
24 Νεύει λοιπόν προς τούτον ο Σίμων Πέτρος διά να ερωτήση τις είναι εκείνος, περί του οποίου λέγει.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
24 νεύει οὖν τούτῳ Σίμων Πέτρος πυθέσθαι τίς ἂν εἴη περὶ οὗ λέγει.
25 Και πεσών εκείνος επί το στήθος του Ιησού, λέγει προς αυτόν· Κύριε, τις είναι;
25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
25 ἐπιπεσὼν δὲ ἐκεῖνος ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ λέγει αὐτῷ· Κύριε, τίς ἐστιν;
26 Αποκρίνεται ο Ιησούς· Εκείνος είναι, εις τον οποίον εγώ βάψας το ψωμίον θέλω δώσει. Και εμβάψας το ψωμίον δίδει εις τον Ιούδαν Σίμωνος τον Ισκαριώτην.
26 Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
26 ἀποκρίνεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν ᾧ ἐγὼ βάψας τὸ ψωμίον ἐπιδώσω. καὶ ἐμβάψας τὸ ψωμίον δίδωσιν Ἰούδᾳ Σίμωνος Ἰσκαριώτῃ.
27 Και μετά το ψωμίον τότε εισήλθεν εις εκείνον ο Σατανάς. Λέγει λοιπόν προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· ό,τι κάμνεις, κάμε ταχύτερον.
27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
27 καὶ μετὰ τὸ ψωμίον τότε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς ἐκεῖνον ὁ σατανᾶς. λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὃ ποιεῖς, ποίησον τάχιον.
28 Τούτο όμως ουδείς των καθημένων ενόησε προς τι είπε προς αυτόν.
28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
28 τοῦτο δὲ οὐδεὶς ἔγνω τῶν ἀνακειμένων πρὸς τί εἶπεν αὐτῷ·
29 Διότι τινές ενόμιζον, επειδή ο Ιούδας είχε το γλωσσόκομον, ότι λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς, Αγόρασον όσων έχομεν χρείαν διά την εορτήν, ή να δώση τι εις τους πτωχούς.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
29 τινὲς γὰρ ἐδόκουν, ἐπεὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον εἶχεν ὁ Ἰούδας, ὅτι λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἀγόρασον ὧν χρείαν ἔχομεν εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, ἢ τοῖς πτωχοῖς ἵνα τι δῷ.
30 Λαβών λοιπόν εκείνος το ψωμίον, εξήλθεν ευθύς· ήτο δε νυξ.
30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
30 λαβὼν οὖν τὸ ψωμίον ἐκεῖνος εὐθέως ἐξῆλθεν· ἦν δὲ νύξ.
31 Ότε λοιπόν εξήλθε, λέγει ο Ιησούς· Τώρα εδοξάσθη ο Υιός του άνθρώπου, και ο Θεός εδοξάσθη εν αυτώ.
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
31 Ὅτε [οὖν] ἐξῆλθε, λέγει ὁ Ἰησοῦς· νῦν ἐδοξάσθη ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν αὐτῷ.
32 Εάν ο Θεός εδοξάσθη εν αυτώ, και ο Θεός θέλει δοξάσει αυτόν εν εαυτώ και ευθύς θέλει δοξάσει αυτόν.
32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
32 εἰ ὁ Θεὸς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς δοξάσει αὐτὸν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, καὶ εὐθὺς δοξάσει αὐτόν.
33 Τεκνία, έτι ολίγον είμαι μεθ' υμών. Θέλετε με ζητήσει, και καθώς είπον προς τους Ιουδαίους ότι όπου υπάγω εγώ, σεις δεν δύνασθε να έλθητε, και προς εσάς λέγω τώρα.
33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
33 τεκνία, ἔτι μικρὸν μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰμι. ζητήσετέ με, καὶ καθὼς εἶπον τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ὅτι ὅπου ὑπάγω ἐγώ, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν, καὶ ὑμῖν λέγω ἄρτι.
34 Εντολήν καινήν σας δίδω, Να αγαπάτε αλλήλους, καθώς εγώ σας ηγάπησα και σεις να αγαπάτε αλλήλους.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
34 ἐντολὴν καινὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους, καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους.
35 Εκ τούτου θέλουσι γνωρίσει πάντες ότι είσθε μαθηταί μου, εάν έχητε αγάπην προς αλλήλους.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
35 ἐν τούτῳ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐμοὶ μαθηταί ἐστε, ἐὰν ἀγάπην ἔχητε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.
36 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, που υπάγεις; Απεκρίθη εις αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Όπου υπάγω, δεν δύνασαι τώρα να με ακολουθήσης, ύστερον όμως θέλεις με ακολουθήσει.
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
36 λέγει αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, ποῦ ὑπάγεις; ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, οὐ δύνασαί μοι νῦν ἀκολουθῆσαι, ὕστερον δὲ ἀκολουθήσεις μοι.
37 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Πέτρος· Κύριε, διατί δεν δύναμαι να σε ακολουθήσω τώρα; την ψυχήν μου θέλω βάλει υπέρ σου.
37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
37 λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος· Κύριε, διατί οὐ δύναμαί σοι ἀκολουθῆσαι ἄρτι; τὴν ψυχήν μου ὑπὲρ σοῦ θήσω.
38 Απεκρίθη προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Την ψυχήν σου θέλεις βάλει υπέρ εμού; αληθώς, αληθώς σοι λέγω, δεν θέλει φωνάξει ο αλέκτωρ, εωσού με απαρνηθής τρίς.
38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
38 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· τὴν ψυχήν σου ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ θήσεις! ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἀλέκτωρ φωνήσει ἕως οὗ ἀπαρνήσῃ με τρίς.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The Lord's Supper, as set forth in John, must, with His assistance, be unfolded in a becoming number of Lectures, and explained with all the ability He is pleased to grant us.

Now in the last days, when the fulness of the time of liberty had arrived, the Word Himself did by Himself "wash away the filth of the daughters of Zion," when He washed the disciples' feet with His own hands.

For so he too would have forbidden Him to wash his feet, but when he had heard, "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter," and "thou hast no part with me," he speedily withdrew from his determination, and went over to the contrary.
