John 13:18-30

18 I'm not speaking about all of you. I know those whom I've chosen. But this is to fulfill the scripture, The one who eats my bread has turned against me.

19 " I'm telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I Am.

20 I assure you that whoever receives someone I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me."

Announcement of the betrayal

21 After he said these things, Jesus was deeply disturbed and testified, " I assure you, one of you will betray me."

22 His disciples looked at each other, confused about which of them he was talking about.

23 One of the disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was at Jesus' side.

24 Simon Peter nodded at him to get him to ask Jesus who he was talking about.

25 Leaning back toward Jesus, this disciple asked, "Lord, who is it?"

26 Jesus answered, " It's the one to whom I will give this piece of bread once I have dipped into the bowl." Then he dipped the piece of bread and gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son.

27 After Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus told him, " What you are about to do, do quickly."

28 No one sitting at the table understood why Jesus said this to him.

29 Some thought that, since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus told him, "Go, buy what we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

30 So when Judas took the bread, he left immediately. And it was night.
