John 13:18–27

¹⁸I’m not speaking about all of you; I know those I have chosen. ⁱBut the Scripture ^jmust be fulfilled: ^kThe one who eats My bread ^lhas raised his heel against Me. ^mn

¹⁹“I am telling you now before it happens, ^oso that when it does happen you will believe ^pthat I am He. ^q20I assure you: Whoever receives anyone I send receives Me, and the one who receives ^rMe receives Him who sent Me.”

Judas’s Betrayal Predicted

²¹When ^sJesus had said this, He was troubled in His spirit ^tand testified, ^u“I assure you: One of you will betray Me!”

²²The disciples started looking at one another—uncertain which one He was speaking about. ²³One of His disciples, the one Jesus loved, ^vwas reclining close beside Jesus. ^w24Simon Peter motioned to him to find out who it was He was talking about. ²⁵So he leaned back against Jesus and asked Him, “Lord, who is it?”

²⁶Jesus replied, “He’s the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it.” ^xWhen He had dipped the bread, ^yHe gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son. ^z27After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan ^aentered him. Therefore Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”
