John 13:19-29

19 I tell you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe that "I Am Who I Am.'
20 I am telling you the truth: whoever receives anyone I send receives me also; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me." 1
21 After Jesus had said this, he was deeply troubled and declared openly, "I am telling you the truth: one of you is going to betray me."
22 The disciples looked at one another, completely puzzled about whom he meant.
23 One of the disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was sitting next to Jesus.
24 Simon Peter motioned to him and said, "Ask him whom he is talking about."
25 So that disciple moved closer to Jesus' side and asked, "Who is it, Lord?"
26 Jesus answered, "I will dip some bread in the sauce and give it to him; he is the man." So he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "Hurry and do what you must!"
28 None of the others at the table understood why Jesus said this to him.
29 Since Judas was in charge of the money bag, some of the disciples thought that Jesus had told him to go and buy what they needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.
