Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

13:1-38 The setting is Jesus’ final Passover meal on Thursday evening, when Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus. John does not record the meal itself as the synoptic Gospels do (Matt 26:17-29; Mark 14:12-25; Luke 22:7-20; see also 1 Cor 11:23-26). John emphasizes other activities at the event, such as the foot washing (John 13:1-17), Judas’s betrayal (13:18-30), and the prediction of Peter’s denials (13:31-38).


SOTNSIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:21–30: Jesus predicted that someone would betray him

In this section Jesus told his disciples that one of them would betray him. The disciples wondered who he meant. Jesus showed them by giving a piece of bread to Judas. Judas then left the room.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus predicted that one of his disciples would betray him

Jesus knew one of his disciples would oppose him

Paragraph 13:21–30

The Jewish custom at meals was to have several couches arranged in a U-shape around the table. The guests reclined (leaned) on the couches around the table, leaning on their left elbow. Jesus was probably in the center, and John was on Jesus’ right. In this paragraph Peter told John to ask Jesus who would betray him. Jesus said that the person to whom he gave bread would be the one who would betray him. He gave the bread to Judas.

13:24a

So Simon Peter motioned to him

So Simon Peter motioned to him: There is a textual issue in this verse:

  1. Most Greek manuscripts just say that Simon Peter motioned to the other disciple (John). For example:

    Simon motioned for that disciple to find out which one Jesus meant (CEV) (BSB, NRSV, CEV, KJV, NCV, REB, NET, ESV, NLT, NABRE)

  2. Other Greek manuscripts say that Simon Peter both motioned and said something to John. For example:

    Simon Peter motioned to that disciple and said, “Ask Jesus whom he’s talking about!” (GW) (NASB, NIV, NJB, RSV, GW, GNT)

It is recommended that you follow option (1). It seems to have the best support and most English translations follow it.

Simon Peter: Refer to this disciple as you did in 1:40 and 13:6.

motioned: The verb motioned means “signaled by moving part of one’s body.” Simon Peter moved a part of his body to signal John so he would ask Jesus whom he was talking about. You may want to translate this movement with a general word as the BSB did. Or you may want to use a movement that the local culture would use. For example:

Simon Petrus eye-signaled him (Uma Back Translation)

Simon Peter signalled to him (REB)

Simon Peter nodded to him

to him: The pronoun him refers to the disciple whom Jesus loved. Refer to him in a way that is natural in your language. For example:

to that disciple (GW)

to this disciple (NIV)

13:24b

to ask Jesus which one He was talking about.

to ask Jesus which one He was talking about: There is a textual issue in this verse:

  1. Most Greek manuscripts say that Simon Peter asked this other disciple (John) to ask Jesus whom he was talking about. For example:

    to ask Jesus whom he was talking about (NCV) (BSB, NRSV, NIV, CEV, NJB, KJV, GW, NCV, REB, NET, ESV, GNT)

  2. Other Greek manuscripts say that Simon Peter asked John to tell him whom Jesus was talking about. This would mean that Peter thought that John already knew who it was. For example:

    and said, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.” (RSV) (NASB, RSV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1). It is the option selected by the UBS Greek New Testament committee with only a little doubt. Also, most English translations follow this option.

General Comment on 13:24b

In some languages it may not be natural to use indirect speech. Here is one way to use direct speech even though Peter did not say anything:

Simon Peter motioned to him so that he would ask Jesus, “Who are you talking about?”


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τούτῳ

˱to˲_this_‹one›

Here, this one refers to John, who calls himself the disciple “whom Jesus loved” in the previous verse. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to the disciple whom Jesus loved] or [to me]

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
