John 13:18-36

18 ¹I am not speaking of all of you; I know ²whom I have chosen. But ³the Scripture will be fulfilled, ^{[a] 4}‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me. ’

19 ⁵I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.

20 Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁶whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. ”

One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, ⁷Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, ⁸“Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁹one of you will betray me. ”

22 ¹⁰The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

23 ¹¹One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table ¹²at Jesus’ side, ^[b]

24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus^[c] of whom he was speaking.

25 ¹³So that disciple, ¹⁴leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it? ”

26 Jesus answered, ¹⁵“It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread ¹⁶when I have dipped it. ”So when he had dipped the morsel, ¹⁷he gave it to Judas, ¹⁸the son of Simon Iscariot.

27 Then after he had taken the morsel, ¹⁹Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, ²⁰“What you are going to do, do quickly. ”

28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

29 Some thought that, ²¹because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need ²²for the feast, ” or that he should ²³give something to the poor.

30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. ²⁴And it was night.

A New Commandment

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, ²⁵“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and ²⁶God is glorified in him.

32 If God is glorified in him, ²⁷God will also glorify him in himself, and ²⁸glorify him at once.

33 Little children, ²⁹yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just ³⁰as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come. ’

34 ³¹A new commandment ³²I give to you, ³³that you love one another: ³⁴just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

35 ³⁵By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. ”

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going? ” ³⁶Jesus answered him, “Where I am going ³⁷you cannot follow me now, ³⁸but you will follow afterward. ”
