John 13:25 In-Context

23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus' breast.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."
25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"
26 Jesus therefore answered, "It is he to whom I will give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 After the morsel, then Satan entered into him. Jesus therefore said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
