John 13:21-38

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21 When Jesus had said this, He ¹became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that ²one of you will betray Me."

22 The disciples began looking at one another, ³at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

23 There was reclining on ⁴Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, ⁵whom Jesus loved.

24 So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking."

25 He, ⁶leaning back thus on Jesus' bosom, said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"

26 Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, ⁷the son of Simon Iscariot.

27 After the morsel, ⁸Satan then ⁹entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

28 Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

29 For some were supposing, because Judas ¹⁰had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of ¹¹for the feast "; or else, that he should ¹²give something to the poor.

30 So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and ¹³it was night.

31 Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is ¹⁴the Son of Man ¹⁵glorified, and ¹⁶God is glorified in Him;

32 if God is glorified in Him, ¹⁷God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

33 "¹⁸Little children, I am with you ¹⁹a little while longer. ²⁰You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot * come.'

34 "A ²¹new commandment I give to you, ²²that you love one another, ²³even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35 "²⁴By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

36 Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered, "²⁵Where I go, you cannot * follow Me now; but ²⁶you will follow later."

37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why * can I not follow You right now? ²⁷I will lay down my life for You."

38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, ²⁸a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.
