John 13:21-26

One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, ¹Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, ²“Truly, truly, I say to you, ³one of you will betray me. ”

22 ⁴The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

23 ⁵One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table ⁶at Jesus’ side, ^[a]

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

25 ⁷So that disciple, ⁸leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it? ”

26 Jesus answered, ⁹“It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread ¹⁰when I have dipped it. ”So when he had dipped the morsel, ¹¹he gave it to Judas, ¹²the son of Simon Iscariot.
