67So he asked the twelve disciples, “And you—would you also like to leave?”

68*Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. 69*And now we believe and know that you are the Holy One who has come from God.”

70Jesus replied, “I chose the twelve of you, didn’t I? Yet one of you is a devil!” 71He was talking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For Judas, even though he was one of the twelve disciples, was going to betray him.
