1 On the Chagigah (rehearsal
dinner), the
evening before the Feast of the Passover began, Yahusha knew his time had
come to pay the dowry and redeem his Bride from bondage to death (Ephesians
2:14-18),
ascend to The Father, receive the Glory promised before the foundation of the
world as King, and break the seals over to read The Heavenly Scroll (Daniel 7
and Revelation 5).
Yahusha was to demonstrate his love (John 10:15) for his Bride, held captive in
this world to death, even to the point of willingly laying down his own life
to show us The Way to perfection and Righteousness and
prove it works and Yahuah will ‘forgive our iniquity and remember our sin
no more’ and fulfill His Promise to raise us from the dead (John 15:13
and Moznayim/LIBRA).
|
1 It was just
before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to
leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the
world, he loved them to the end.
|
|
2 As the Chagigah meal had ended, The
Dragon had put it into the mind of Yahudah/Judas the Assassin, son of
Simon, to betray Yahusha;
|
2 The evening meal
was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot,
to betray Jesus.
|
|
3 Yahusha knowing that The Father
had given all things into his hands (LEO) as he had come to do Yahuah’s
Will written down in The Heavenly Scroll, and that he was going stand before
Yahuah to receive his Kingdom (Ari / LEO, Daniel 7);
|
3 Jesus knew that
the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God
and was returning to God;
|
|
4 got up from the Chagigah meal
and took off his clothing to Mikveh himself. After he had walked The
Way by Living Water and purified his body (to present
himself to his Father),
he took a towel, dried himself off, and tied it around his waist.
|
4 so he got up
from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his
waist.
|
|
5 Yahusha then poured Living Water
into a basin, then began to Mikveh the Disciples' feet (to
illustrate they are to walk The Way and follow his
example 1 Yahchanan/1 John 2:6, 1 Kephah/1 Peter 2:21, Yahchanan/John 13:15) and wipe them with the towel
that he had tied around waist.
|
5 After that, he
poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them
with the towel that was wrapped around him.
|
|
6 Yahusha then came to Simon Peter,
but Peter said to him; Rabbi, why do you wash my feet?
|
6 He came to Simon
Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
|
|
7 Yahusha answered and said to
him: The example I am setting for you to walk, is not meant for you to
understand now, but after I walk this path (The Way) it (Mikveh,
Circumcision and Offering)
will be revealed to you (by the Spirit on Shav’uot).
|
7 Jesus replied, “You do not
realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
|
|
8 Peter said to him; No, I am not
worthy for you to wash my feet! Yahusha answered him: If I do not Mikveh you
with Living Water, you have no part with me in The Coming Kingdom.
|
8 “No,” said
Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash
you, you have no part with me.”
|
|
9 Simon Peter said to Yahusha;
Rabbi, then wash my hands and my head along with my feet as well!
|
9 “Then, Lord,”
Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
|
|
10 Yahusha said to him: those who
have already dipped themselves in the Mikveh pools for Passover to cleanse
and purify their bodies with Living Water do not need to be totally immersed
again, just your feet as you have been traveling with sandals on and your
feet are all that is dirty. However, not all of you are clean.
|
10 Jesus answered, “Those who have
had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you
are clean, though not every one of you.”
|
|
11 Yahusha had said, not all of
them are clean, because he knew Yahudah/Judas would betray him.
|
11 For he knew who
was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
|
|
12 After he had washed their feet
with Living Water (to illustrate they were to walk as he walked through
The Narrow Gate of Passover),
he put his clothes back on, and sat down. Then Yahusha said to them: Do you
understand what I have done for you?
|
12 When he had
finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place.
“Do
you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.
|
|
13 You rightfully call me Rabbi and
leader because that is what I am to you who follow me.
|
13 “You call me
‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.
|
|
14 Since I then, your leader and
Rabbi, have washed your feet, you are also bound in obligation to wash one
another's feet (teach others after you how to walk The Way
of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering so they then can make Disciples
and teach others also 2 Timothy 2).
|
14 Now that I, your
Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s
feet.
|
|
15 For I (the
Shepherd) am
giving you an example, I am showing you The Way through
The Narrow Gate (AQUARIUS, Psalm 32:8, Isaiah 44:3, John 14:4), and you (my Sheep) are to follow my example every
Passover and walk as I have walked (1 John 2:6, 1 Kephah/1 Peter 2:21).
|
15 I have set you an
example that you should do as I have done for you.
|
|
16 Very honestly, I tell you: The
servant is not greater than his Master; nor is the one sent to fulfill The
Will of Yahuah greater than the author of The Heavenly Scroll Who sent him to
fulfill it.
|
16 Very truly I tell
you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than
the one who sent him.
|
|
17 It will be your great joy to
walk The Way when you are given understanding of these
things (when Yahusha pours out The Spirit on Shav’uot. We see the
Disciples then went out and began teaching others The Way
Acts 2:38 as Yahusha had prophesied).
|
17 Now that you know
these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
|
|
18 I am not talking
about everyone here. I know whom I have Chosen; but that the Scriptures must
be fulfilled, He who eats my bread has lifted
up his heel against me (Psalm 41:9).
|
18 “I am not
referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill
this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned against me.’
|
|
19 Now I am telling
you beforehand that I will be betrayed, so that when it occurs, you may
believe that I am the one David spoke about.
|
19 “I am telling you
now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am
who I am.
|
|
20 I assure you when
I say; he who receives whomever I send receives me; and he who receives me
receives Him Who sent me (The Kingdom is grown through
mentors/teachers and discipleship as we learn from those who came before us,
honor them, and ensure their needs are met as we ‘pay it forward’ 1 Timothy
5, 2 Timothy 2:2).
|
20 Very truly I tell
you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts
the one who sent me.”
|
|
21 When Yahusha
had said these things, he became very upset and declared, I assure you, one
of you will betray me.
|
21 After he had
said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I
tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”
|
|
22 When the
Disciples heard him say this, they were confused and wondered who he was
speaking about.
|
22 His disciples
stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant.
|
|
23 Now Yahusha’s
beloved (g25. Agapaó / Love - ‘take pleasure in, long for,
was faithful to’) wife Miriam was lying in his lap (a show of
loving affection reserved for husband and wife in public).
|
23 One of them, the
disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.
|
|
24 Simon Peter
therefore motioned to HER (g846. Autos
– ‘her’; speaking of Miriam Magdalene the only one to never denied or
betray him, anointed him with fine oil before his death, prepared his body
for burial, risked being arrested at the feet of his execution state, wept at
his tomb, was the first one he came to after Resurrection, and is mentioned
by name more than any other Disciple) to ask who it was of whom he
spoke (because she had her beloved’s ear more than any other as
wives should).
|
24 Simon Peter
motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”
|
|
25 Then, leaning
back on Yahusha’s
chest, she said to him, Rabbi, who is it?
|
25 Leaning back
against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
|
|
26 Yahusha answered: It is he to
whom I will give a piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish (Yahusha
answered his beloved wife privately). Then having dipped the bread, he gave it to
Yahudah/Judas the Assassin, the son of Simon.
|
26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to
whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping
the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
|
|
27 And after Yahudah/Judas took the
piece of bread, The Dragon entered him. Then Yahusha said to him: What
you are going to do, do quickly!
|
27 As soon as Judas
took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are
about to do, do quickly.”
|
|
28 Now no man at the table knew
what Yahusha meant when he said this to Yahudah/Judas;
|
28 But no one at
the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.
|
|
29 For some thought, since
Yahudah/Judas had the moneybag, that Yahusha had said to him: Buy those
things that we have need of for the feast; or that he should give something
to the poor.
|
29 Since Judas had
charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was
needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.
|
|
30 Then he, having accepted the
piece of bread, immediately went out while it was night.
|
30 As soon as Judas
had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.
|
|
31 After Yahudah/Judas had left,
Yahusha said: Now The Son of Man (ORION) is Glorified in The Heavenly Scroll,
and Yahuah is Glorified in him who fulfills His Will on Earth as it is
written in the stars (Psalm 19 – ‘the stars tell of the Glory of Yahuah and
declare the Works of His Hands/Plan of Salvation Enoch 35:3, Hebrews 10:7, Matthew
6:10).
|
31 When he was
gone, Jesus said, “Now The Son of Man is glorified and God is
glorified in him.
|
|
32 If Yahuah is Glorified in him (He loves) who fulfills The Word of His
Testimony (The Heavenly Scroll Isaiah 48:11-15) in the flesh (John 1:1-4), Yahuah will also Glorify him
through the power of the Resurrection (Romans 1:2-4) with the Glory proclaimed in
the stars before the foundation of the world (John 17:4-6) immediately as promised (LOGOS/DABAR
– ‘Spoken Promise’ in the beginning Genesis 1:1).
|
32 If God is glorified
in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.
|
|
33 Little children of the Father, I
am only with you a little while longer. You will seek me, but as I said to
the Yahudaim, so I say to you: Where I go (to ascend to stand before Yahuah to
receive His “Glory” as King and a Kingdom Daniel 7 and break the seals over
and read The Heavenly Scroll Revelation 5), you cannot come (at this
time, we follow him in the First Resurrection).
|
33 “My children, I
will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I
told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.
|
|
34 I give a New Commandment to you,
that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you also love one
another.
|
34 “A new command I
give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one
another.
|
|
35 By this will all know that you
are my Disciples: By the love you have for one another.
|
35 By this everyone
will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
|
|
36 Simon Peter said to him; Rabbi,
where are you going? Yahusha answered him: Where I go, you cannot follow me
now, but you will follow me afterwards.
|
36 Simon
Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am
going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”
|
|
37 Peter said to him; Rabbi, why
cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.
|
37 Peter asked,
“Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
|
|
38 Yahusha answered him: Will you
lay down your life for my sake? Very honestly, I say to you,
the rooster shall not crow till you have denied me three times.
|
38 Then Jesus
answered, “Will
you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the
rooster crows, you will disown me three times!
