John 13:18-30

18 1I am not speaking of all of you; I know 2whom I have chosen. But 3the Scripture will be fulfilled,[a]4'He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.'
19 5I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.
20 Truly, truly, I say to you, 6whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me."

One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, 7Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, 8"Truly, truly, I say to you, 9one of you will betray me."
22 10The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.
23 11One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table 12close to Jesus,[b]
24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus[c] of whom he was speaking.
25 13So that disciple, 14leaning back against Jesus, said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
26 Jesus answered, 15"It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread 16when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, 17he gave it to Judas, 18the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 Then after he had taken the morsel, 19Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, 20"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, 21because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need 22for the feast," or that he should 23give something to the poor.
30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. 24And it was night.
