²¹ Now Jesus was deeply troubled,^[a] and he exclaimed, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me!”

¹⁸ As they were at the table^[a] eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me here will betray me.”

²¹ “But here at this table, sitting among us as a friend, is the man who will betray me.

²² The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he could mean.

²³ The disciples began to ask each other which of them would ever do such a thing.

²² Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one, Lord?”

²³ The disciple Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table.^{[a] 24} Simon Peter motioned to him to ask, “Who’s he talking about?” ²⁵ So that disciple leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”

²³ He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me. ²⁴ For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”

²⁶ Jesus responded, “It is the one to whom I give the bread I dip in the bowl.” And when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

²⁵ Judas, the one who would betray him, also asked, “Rabbi, am I the one?”

And Jesus told him, “You have said it.”
