John 13:25 In-Context

23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table close to Jesus,

24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking.

25 So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

26 Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27 Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."
