John 13:21-30

One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, ¹Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, ²"Truly, truly, I say to you, ³one of you will betray me."

22 ⁴The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

23 ⁵One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table ⁶close to Jesus,^[a]

24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus^[b] of whom he was speaking.

25 ⁷So that disciple, ⁸leaning back against Jesus, said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

26 Jesus answered, ⁹"It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread ¹⁰when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, ¹¹he gave it to Judas, ¹²the son of Simon Iscariot.

27 Then after he had taken the morsel, ¹³Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, ¹⁴"What you are going to do, do quickly."

28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

29 Some thought that, ¹⁵because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need ¹⁶for the feast," or that he should ¹⁷give something to the poor.

30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. ¹⁸And it was night.
