John 6:66-71

Peter's Confession of Faith

66 As a result of this many of His ¹disciples ²withdrew * and were not walking with Him anymore.

67 So Jesus said to ³the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"

68 ⁴Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have ⁵words of eternal life.

69 "We have believed and have come to know that You are ⁶the Holy One of God."

70 Jesus answered them, "⁷Did I Myself not choose you, ⁸the twelve, and yet one of you is ⁹a devil?"

71 Now He meant Judas ¹⁰the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, ¹¹one of ¹²the twelve, was going to betray Him.
