.Simon Peter	13:1-17	Wash my feet?	Wash feet of each other

13:1 Now before the feast of the Passover knowing Jesus that came of him the hour that he should remove out of world this to the Father, living the his own in the world, to the end he loved them. 2 And supper taking place, the devil now having put into the heart that should betray him Judas son of Simon Iscariot, 3 knowing that all things gave him the Father into the his hands, and that from God he came forth and to God goes, 4 he rises out of whom the supper and places aside the his garments, and taking a towel he girded himself: 5 then he puts water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe off with the towel with which he was having been girded. 6 He comes therefore to Simon Peter; he says to him: Lord thou of me washest the feet? 7 answered Jesus and said to him: What I am doing thou knowest not yet, but thou wilt know after these things. 8 Says to him Peter: By no means shalt thou wash of me the (Note: Literal translation of Revised Standard Version 1988)

feet unto the age. Answered Jesus him: Unless I wash thee, thou hast no part with me. 9 Says to him Simon Peter: Lord, not the feet of me only but also the hands and the head. 10 Says to him Jesus: The one having been bathed has not need except the feet to wash but is clean wholly and ye clean are, but not all. 11 he knew For the one betraying him: therefore he said Not all clean ye are. 12 When therefore he washed the feet of them and took the garments of him and reclined again, he said to them: Do ye know what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me: The Teacher and the Lord, and well ye say: for I am. 14 If therefore I washed of you the feet the Lord and the Teacher, also ye ought of one another to wash the feet 15 for an example I gave you that as I did to also ye may do 16 Truly Truly I tell you, s not a slave greater than the lord of him, nor a sent one greater than the one sending him. 17 If these things ye know, blessed are ye if ye do them.

2 "Receiving" each other

.Beloved disciple

13:18-30

Who is it?

Who receives you receives me

13:18 Not concerning all you I speak: I know whom I chose: but that the Scripture may be fulfilled: The one eating of me the bread lifted up against me the heel of him. 19 From now I tell you before it happens, that ye may believe when it happens that I am. 20 Truly truly I say to you, the one receiving whomsoever I may send me receives, and the one me receiving receives the one having sent me. 21 These things saying Jesus was troubled in the spirit and witnessed and said: Truly truly I tell you that one of you will betray me. 22 Looked at one another the disciples being perplexed about whom he speaks. 23 Was reclining one of the disciples of him in the bosom of Jesus whom loved Jesus: 24 nods therefore to this one Peter and says to him: Say why it is about

whom he speaks. 25 Falling back that one thus on the breast of Jesus he says to him: Lord, who is it? 26 Answers therefore Jesus That one it is whom I shall dip the morsel and shall give him. Dipping therefore the morsel he takes and gives to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And after the morsel then entered into that one Satan. Says therefore to him Jesus: What thou doest do quickly. 28 But this no one knew of the ones reclining for what he told him: 29 for some thought since the bat had Judas, that tells him Jesus: Buy the things of which need we have for the feast, or to the poor that something he should give. 30 Having taken therefore the morsel that one went out immediately: and it was night. . . . .

3. Loving one another

Simon Peter

13:31-38

Where do you go?

Love one another as I loved you

13:31 When therefore he went out, says Jesus: Now was glorified the Son of man, and God was glorified in him: 32 If God was glorified in him, both God will glorify him in him, and immediately will glorify him. 33 Children, yet a little while with you I am: ye will seek me and as I said to the Jews that where I go ye cannot to come, also to you I say now. 34 Commandment A new I give you, that ye love one another, as I loved you that also ye love one another. 35 By this

will know all men that to me disciples ye are, if love ye have among one another. 36 Says to him Simon Peter: Lord, where goest thou? Answered Jesus: Where I go thou canst not me now to follow, but thou wilt follow later. 37 Says to him Peter: Lord, why can I not thee to follow yet? the life of me for thee I will lay down. 38 Answers Jesus: The life of thee for me wilt thou lay down? truly truly I tell thee, by no means a cock crows until thou deniest me thrice

4. Being with the Word

Where I am ye also may be

How do we know way?

go ye know the way. 5 Says to him Thomas: Lord we know not where thou goest: how do we know the way? 6 Says to him Jesus: I AM the way me the truth and the life: no one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If ye had known me, also the Father of me ye would have known. From now ye know him and have seen.

5. Continuing the work of the Word

.Philip

14:8-21

Show us the Father?

The works I do, the believing one will do

14:8 Says to him Philip: Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices for us. 9 Says to him Jesus: So long time with you I am and thou hast not known me Philip? The one having seen me has seen the Father: how thou sayest: Show us the Father? 10 believest thou not that I in the Father and the Father in me is? the words which I say to you from myself I speak not: but the Father in me remaining does the works of him. 11 Believe ye me that I in the Father and the Father in me: otherwise, because of the works themselves believe ye. 12 Truly truly I tell you the one believing in me the works which I do that one also will do, and greater than these he will do, because I to the Father am going: 13 And whatever ye ask in the name of me, this I will do, that may be glorified the Father in the Son. 14 If

anything ye ask me in the name of me, I will do. 15 If ye love me, the commandments my ye will keep. 16 And I will request the Father and another Comforter he will give you that he may be with you unto the age. 17 the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot to receive, because it beholds not it not known: ye know it because with you he remains and in you will be. 18 I will not leave you orphans, I am coming to you. 19 Yet a little and the world me no longer beholds, but ye behold me, because I live also ye will live. 20 In that day will know ye that I in the Father of me and ye in me and I in you. 21 The one having the commandments of me and keeping them, that is the one loving me; and the one loving me will be loved by the Father of me, and I will love him and will manifest to him myself.

6. Keeping the Word

Judas (not Iscariot.)

14:22-31

Why show yourself to us?

the word of me he will keep

14:22 Says to him Judas, not the Iscariot: Lord and what has happened that to us thou art about to manifest thyself and not to the world? 23 Answered Jesus and said to him: If anyone loves me, the word of me he will keep and the Father of me will love him, and to him we will come and abode with him we will make. 24 The one not loving me the words of me keeps not; and the word which ye hear is not mine but of the having sent me Father. 25 These things I have spoken to you with you remaining 26 but the Comforter, the Spirit Holy which will send the Father in the name of me, that one you will teach all things and remind you

of all things which told you I. 27 Peace I leave to you, peace my I give you: not as the world gives I give you. Let not be troubled of you the heart nor let it be fearful. 28 ye heard that I told you: I go and come to you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father because the Father greater than me is. 29 And now I have told you before to happen, that when it happens ye may believe. 30 No longer many things I will speak with you. for is coming the of the world ruler: and in me he has not anything. 31 but that ye may know the world that I love the Father and as commanded me the Father so I do. Rise let us go hence. "the name of me" (14:25)

Step Two - - Why Jesus Reveals Himself to His Disciples - - - 15:1-27

Paragraph "Hooks" are reasons

1. because of a "vine/branch" connection

15:1-8	1. I am the vine you the branches (15:5)
15: 1 I am the vine true, and the Father of me the husbandman is. 2 Every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it, and every branch the fruit bearing he prunes it that fruit more it may bear. 3 Now ye clean are because of the word which I have spoken to you: 4 remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot fruit to bear from itself unless it remains in the vine, so not ye unless in me ye remain. 5 I am the vine ye the branches. The one remaining in me and		I in him, this one bears fruit much, because apart from home ye cannot to do anything 6. Unless anyone remains in me, he was cast outside as the branch and was dried, and they gather them and into the fire they cast, and they are burned. 7 If ye remain in me and the words of me in you remains, whatever ye wish ask, and it shall happen to you. 8 By this was glorified the Father of me, that fruit much ye bear and ye will be to me disciples.

2. to provide a fulfilling joy

15:9-11	2. My joy in you and your joy may be filled (15:16)
15:9 As loved me the Father, I also you loved: remain ye in the love my. 10 If the commandments of me ye keep,		ye will remain in the love of me, as I of the Father of me the commandments have kept and remain of him in the love. 11 These things I have spoken to you that the joy my in you may be and the joy of you may be filled.

3. because of an established friendship

15:12-15	3. Ye friends of me are (15:14)
15:12 This is the commandment my, that ye love one another as I loved you. 13 Greater than this love no one has, that anyone the life of him should lay down for the friends of him. 14 Ye friends of me are, if ye do what		I command you. 15 No longer I call you slaves, because the slave knows not what does of him the Lord: but you I have called friends, because all things which I heard from the Father of me I made known to you.

4. because of being chosen

15:16-25	4. I have chosen you (15:16)
15:16 Not ye me chose, but I chose you, and appointed you that ye should go and fruit should bear and the fruit of you should remain, that whatever ye may ask the Father in the name of me he may give you 17 these things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world you hates; ye know that me before you it has hated. 19 If of the world ye were the world would that own have loved; but because of the world ye are not, but I chose you out of the world, therefore hates you the world. 20 Remember ye the word which I said to you. Not is a slave greater than the lord of him If me they persecuted also you		they will persecute: if the word of me they kept, also yours they will keep. 21 But these things all they will do to you because of the name of me, because they know not the one having sent me. 22 Unless I came and spoke to them, sin they had not had: but now cloak they have not concerning the sin of them. 23 The one me hating also the Father of me hates. 24 If the works I did not among them which no man other did, sin they had not had: but now both they have seen and have hated both me and the Father of me. 25 But that may be fulfilled the word in the law of them having been written. They hated me freely.

5. because of primaeval union

15:26-27

5. from the beginning with me you are (15:27)

15:26 When comes the Comforter whom I will send to you from the Father the Spirit of truth which from the Father proceeds, that one will

witness concerning me: 27 also ye and witness because from the beginning with me ye are.

Step Three - - - Promise of the on-going guidance of Truth - - 16:1-32

1. Because it is expedient

16:1-7

1. It is expedient (16:7)

16:1 These things I have spoken to you that not ye be offended. 2 Put away from the synagogue they will make you: but comes an hour that everyone killing you thinks service to offer to God. 3 And these things they will do because they knew not the Father nor me. 4 But these things I have spoken to you that when comes the hour of them ye may remember them, that I told you. And these

things to you from the beginning I said not, because with you I was. 5 But now I am going to the one having sent me and not one of you askest me: Where goest thou? 6 but because these things I have spoken to you, grief has filled of you the heart. 7 But I the truth tell you it is expedient for you that I should go away. For if I go not away, the Comforter by no means comes to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

2. because of future announcements

16:8-23

2. The Spirit of Truth will guide you (16:13)

16:8 And coming that one will reprove the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment; 9 concerning sin, because they believe not in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because to the Father I am going and no longer ye behold me; 11 concerning judgment because the ruler of world of this has been judged. 12 Yet many things I have you to tell, but ye cannot to hear now: 13 but when comes that one, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you into the truth all; for not will he speak from himself, but what things he hears he will speak, and the coming things he will announce to you. 14 That one me will glorify because of the of me he will receive and will announce to you. 15 All things which has the Father mine is therefore I said that of the of me he receives and will announce to you. 16 a little while and no longer ye behold me, and again a little while and ye will see me. 17 Said therefore some of the disciples of him to one another; What is this which he tell us: A little while and ye

behold not me, and again a little while and ye will see me? and: Because I am going to the Father? 18 They said therefore: This what is which he says, the "little while"? We do not know what he speaks. 19 Knew Jesus that they wished him to question; and said to them: Concerning this seek ye with one another because I said: A little while and ye behold not me, and again a little while and ye will see me? 20 Truly truly I tell you that will weep and will lament, ye, and the world will rejoice; ye will be grieved, but the grief of you into joy will become. 21 The woman when she gives birth grief has, because came the hour of her: but when she brings forth the child, no longer she remembers the distress because of the joy that was born a man into the world. 22 And ye therefore now indeed grief have, but again I will see you, and will rejoice of you the heart, and the joy of you no one takes from you. 23 And in that day me ye will not question no anything.

3. Because of having loved

16:23-27

3. Because ye me have loved (16:27)

16:23 cont. Truly truly I tell you, whatever ye seek the Father he will give you in the name of me. 24 Until now: ye asked not no anything in the name of me: ask, and ye will receive, that the joy of you may be having been filled. 25 These things in allegories I have spoken to

you: comes an hour when no longer in allegories I will speak to you, but plainly concerning the Father will declare to you. 26 In that: the day in the name of me ye will ask, and I tell not you that I will request the Father concerning you: 27 for himself the Father loves you, because ye me have loved

4. Because of having believed

16:27-33

4. and have believed that from the Father I came forth (16:27)

and have believed that I from God came forth. 28 I came forth out of the Father and have come into the world again I leave the world and go to the Father. 29 Say the disciples of him: Behold now in plainness thou speakest, and allegory no thou sayest. 30 Now we know that thou knowest all things and no need hast that anyone thee should question: by

this we believe that from God thou camest forth. 31 Answered them Jesus: Now believe ye? 32 Behold comes an hour and has come that ye are scattered each one to the own and me alone ye leave: and I am not alone, because the Father with me is. 33 These things I have spoken to you that in me peace ye may have in the world distress ye have; but cheer ye up. I have overcome the world.

Step Four PRAYER OF THE WORD- - 17:1-26

Focus on requests starting with "that"

17:1 These things spoke Jesus and lifting up the eyes of him to heaven said: Father, has come the hour: glorify of thee the Son that the Son may glorify thee. 2 as thou gavest him authority of all flesh, that all which thou has given him he may give to them life eternal. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know thee the only true God and he whom thou didst send Jesus Christ. 4 I thee glorified on the earth the work finishing which thou hast given to me that I should do; 5 and now glorify me thou, Father with thyself with the glory which I had before the world to be with thee. 6 I manifested of thee the name to the men whom thou gavest to me out of the world. To thee they were and to me them thou gavest, and the word of thee they have kept. 7 Now they have known that all things as many as thou hast given to me from thee are; 8 because the words which thou gavest to me I have given to them, and they received, and knew truly that from thee I came forth, and they believed that thou me didst send. 9 I concerning them make request; not concerning the world do I make request by

concerning those whom thou hast given to me, because to thee they are 10 and the my things all thine is and the thy things mine, and I have been glorified in them. 11 And no longer am I in the world, and they in the world are, and I to these come. Father holy, keep them in the name of thee which thou has given to me, that they may be one as we. 12 When I was with them, I kept them in the name of thee which thou hast given to me, and I guarded, and not one of them perished except the son perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now to thee I come, and these things I speak in the world that they may have the joy my having been fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given to them the word of thee, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world as I am not of the world. 15 I do not request that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of the evil one. 16 Of the world they are not as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; the word thy truth is. 18 As me thou didst send into the world. I also sent them into the world; 19 and on

behalf of them I sanctify myself that may be also they having been sanctified in truth. 20 Not concerning these but I make request only, but also concerning the ones believing through the word of them in m, 21 that all one may be, as thou Father in me and I in thee, that also they in us may be,that the world may believe that thou me didst send.22 And I the glory which thou has given to me have given to them, that they may be one as we are one; 23 I in them and thou in me, that they may be having been perfected in one, that may know the world that to me didst send and didst love them as me thou did Father what thou hast given to me, I wish that where am I those also may be with me, that they may behold the glory my, which thou hast given to me because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. 25 Father righteous, in deed the world thee knew not, but I thee knew, and these knew that thou me didst send; 26 and I made known to them the name of thee and will make known, that the love with which thou lovedst me in them my be and I in them.st love. 24
