¹⁸“I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, ‘The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’^d ¹⁹From now on I am telling you before it happens, in order that when it happens you may believe that I am he.^* ²⁰Truly, truly I say to you, the one who receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.”

Jesus Predicts Judas’ Betrayal

²¹When he^* had said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me.” ²²The disciples began looking^* at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking. ²³One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining close beside^e Jesus. ²⁴So Simon Peter gestured for this one to inquire who it was about whom he was speaking. ²⁵He leaned back^f accordingly against Jesus’ chest and^* said to him, “Lord, who is it?” ²⁶Jesus replied, “It is he to whom I dip the piece of bread and give it^* to him.” Then after^* dipping the piece of bread, he gave it^*^g to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are doing, do quickly!”
