John 13:18–27

^18*“I am not talking about all of you; I know those I have chosen. But the scripture must come true that says, ‘The man who shared my food turned against me.’ ¹⁹I tell you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe that ‘I Am Who I Am.’ ^20*I am telling you the truth: whoever receives anyone I send receives me also; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.”

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

²²The disciples looked at one another, completely puzzled about whom he meant. ²³One of the disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was sitting next to Jesus. ²⁴Simon Peter motioned to him and said, “Ask him whom he is talking about.”

²⁵So that disciple moved closer to Jesus’ side and asked, “Who is it, Lord?”

²⁶Jesus answered, “I will dip some bread in the sauce and give it to him; he is the man.” So he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus said to him, “Be quick about what you are doing!”
