Psalm 107:23-43

English Standard Version

²³Some ^(A)went down to the sea in ships,
    doing business on the great waters;
²⁴they saw the deeds of the Lord,
    his wondrous works in the deep.
²⁵For he ^(B)commanded and ^(C)raised the stormy wind,
    which lifted up the waves of the sea.
²⁶They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
    their courage ^(D)melted away in their evil plight;
²⁷they reeled and ^(E)staggered like drunken men
    and ^(F)were at their wits' end.^[a]
²⁸^(G)Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
²⁹He ^(H)made the storm be still,
    and the waves of the sea were hushed.
³⁰Then they were glad that the waters^[b] were quiet,
    and he brought them to their desired haven.
³¹^(I)Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!
³²Let them ^(J)extol him in ^(K)the congregation of the people,
    and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

³³He ^(L)turns rivers into a desert,
    springs of water into thirsty ground,
³⁴^(M)a fruitful land into a salty waste,
    because of the evil of its inhabitants.
³⁵He ^(N)turns a desert into pools of water,
    ^(O)a parched land into springs of water.
³⁶And there he lets the hungry dwell,
    and they establish ^(P)a city to live in;
³⁷they sow fields and plant vineyards
    and get a fruitful yield.
³⁸^(Q)By his blessing they multiply greatly,
    and he does not let their livestock diminish.

³⁹When they are diminished and brought low
    through oppression, evil, and sorrow,
⁴⁰^(R)he pours contempt on princes
    and ^(S)makes them wander ^(T)in trackless wastes;
⁴¹but ^(U)he raises up the needy out of affliction
    and ^(V)makes their families like flocks.
⁴²^(W)The upright see it and are glad,
    and ^(X)all wickedness shuts its mouth.

⁴³^(Y)Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things;
let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.

12 Ephraim feeds on the wind
    and pursues ^(A)the east wind all day long;
they multiply ^(B)falsehood and violence;
    ^(C)they make a covenant with Assyria,
    and ^(D)oil is carried to Egypt.

The Lord's Indictment of Israel and Judah

²^(E)The Lord has an indictment against Judah
    and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
    he will repay him according to his deeds.
³^(F)In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
    and in his manhood he strove with God.
⁴He strove with the angel and prevailed;
    he wept and sought his favor.
^(G)He met God^[a] at Bethel,
    and there God spoke with us—
⁵the Lord, the God of hosts,
    ^(H)the Lord is his memorial name:
⁶“So you, ^(I)by the help of your God, return,
    ^(J)hold fast to love and justice,
    and wait continually for your God.”

⁷A merchant, in whose hands are ^(K)false balances,
    he loves ^(L)to oppress.
⁸Ephraim has said, “Ah, but ^(M)I am rich;
    I have found wealth for myself;
in all my labors ^(N)they cannot find in me iniquity or sin.”
⁹^(O)I am the Lord your God
    from the land of Egypt;
I will again make you ^(P)dwell in tents,
    as in the days of the appointed feast.

¹⁰^(Q)I spoke to the prophets;
    it was I who multiplied ^(R)visions,
    and through the prophets gave parables.
¹¹^(S)If there is iniquity in Gilead,
    they shall surely come to nothing:
^(T)in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;
    ^(U)their altars also are like stone heaps
    ^(V)on the furrows of the field.
¹²^(W)Jacob fled to the land of Aram;
    there Israel ^(X)served for a wife,
    and for a wife he guarded sheep.
¹³By ^(Y)a prophet ^(Z)the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt,
    and by a prophet he was guarded.
¹⁴^(AA)Ephraim has given bitter provocation;
    so his Lord ^(AB)will leave his bloodguilt on him
    ^(AC)and will repay him for his disgraceful deeds.

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

13 Now ^(A)before ^(B)the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that ^(C)his hour had come ^(D)to depart out of this world to the Father, ^(E)having loved ^(F)his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. ²During supper, when ^(G)the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, ³Jesus, knowing ^(H)that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that ^(I)he had come from God and ^(J)was going back to God, ⁴rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, ^(K)tied it around his waist. ⁵Then he ^(L)poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. ⁶He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” ⁷^(M)Jesus answered him, “What I am doing ^(N)you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” ⁸^(O)Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, ^(P)“If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” ⁹Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” ¹⁰Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, ^(Q)except for his feet,^[a] but is completely clean. And ^(R)you^[b] are clean, ^(S)but not every one of you.” ¹¹^(T)For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

¹²When he had washed their feet and ^(U)put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, ^(V)“Do you understand what I have done to you? ¹³^(W)You call me ^(X)Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. ¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^(Y)you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵For I have given you an example, ^(Z)that you also should do just as I have done to you. ¹⁶Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(AA)a servant^[c] is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. ¹⁷If you know these things, ^(AB)blessed are you if you do them. ¹⁸^(AC)I am not speaking of all of you; I know ^(AD)whom I have chosen. But ^(AE)the Scripture will be fulfilled,^[d] ^(AF)‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ ¹⁹^(AG)I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. ²⁰Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(AH)whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

One of You Will Betray Me

²¹After saying these things, ^(AI)Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, ^(AJ)“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(AK)one of you will betray me.” ²²^(AL)The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. ²³^(AM)One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table ^(AN)at Jesus' side,^[e] ²⁴so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus^[f] of whom he was speaking. ²⁵^(AO)So that disciple, ^(AP)leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” ²⁶Jesus answered, ^(AQ)“It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread ^(AR)when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, ^(AS)he gave it to Judas, ^(AT)the son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷Then after he had taken the morsel, ^(AU)Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, ^(AV)“What you are going to do, do quickly.” ²⁸Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. ²⁹Some thought that, ^(AW)because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need ^(AX)for the feast,” or that he should ^(AY)give something to the poor. ³⁰So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. ^(AZ)And it was night.

A New Commandment

³¹When he had gone out, Jesus said, ^(BA)“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and ^(BB)God is glorified in him. ³²If God is glorified in him, ^(BC)God will also glorify him in himself, and ^(BD)glorify him at once. ³³Little children, ^(BE)yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just ^(BF)as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ ³⁴^(BG)A new commandment ^(BH)I give to you, ^(BI)that you love one another: ^(BJ)just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ³⁵^(BK)By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

³⁶Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” ^(BL)Jesus answered him, “Where I am going ^(BM)you cannot follow me now, ^(BN)but you will follow afterward.” ³⁷^(BO)Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” ³⁸Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(BP)the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.
