18
I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says, `He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
19
From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.
20
In most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives Him who sent me."
21
After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said with deep earnestness, "In most solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22
The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know to which of them He was referring.
23
There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved-- reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.
24
Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us to whom he is referring."
25
So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, "Master, who is it?"
26
"It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.
27
Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him.
28
But why He said this no one else at the table understood.
29
Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
30
So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. And it was night.
