18"I am not referring to all of you;1 I know those I have chosen.2 But this is to fulfill the scripture:3 'He who shares my bread4 has lifted up his heel5 against me.'a619"I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe7 that I am He.820I tell you the truth, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me."921

His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant.
23
One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved,12 was reclining next to him.
24
Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, "Ask him which one he means."
25
Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, "Lord, who is it?"1326

27
As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.15"What you are about to do, do quickly," Jesus told him,
28
but no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.

As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.19
