John 13:21-30

Christian Standard Bible

Judas’s Betrayal Predicted

²¹ When^(A) Jesus had said this, he was troubled in his spirit^(B) and testified,^(C) “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”

²² The disciples started looking at one another—uncertain which one he was speaking about. ²³ One of his disciples, the one Jesus loved,^(D) was reclining close beside Jesus.^{[a] 24} Simon Peter motioned to him to find out who it was he was talking about. ²⁵ So he leaned back against Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

²⁶ Jesus replied, “He’s the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it.”^(E) When he had dipped the bread,^(F) he gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.^{[b] 27} After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan^(G) entered him. So Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”

²⁸ None of those reclining at the table knew why he said this to him. ²⁹ Since Judas^(H) kept the money-bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,”^(I) or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ After receiving the piece of bread, he immediately left. And it was night.^(J)
