18 (A)I do not speak about all of you. I know the ones I have (B)chosen; but (C)that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘(D)He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19 From now on (E)I am telling you before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe that (F)I am He. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, (G)he who receives anyone I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21 When Jesus had said these things, He (H)became troubled in spirit, and bore witness and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that (I)one of you will [a]betray Me.” 22 The disciples began looking at one another, (J)perplexed about whom He *spoke. 23 There was reclining on (K)Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, (L)whom Jesus loved. 24 So Simon Peter *gestured to him to inquire, “Who is the one of whom He is speaking?” 25 He, (M)leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, *said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus *answered, “He is the one for whom I shall dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread, He *took and *gave it to Judas, (N)the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And after the piece of bread, (O)Satan then (P)entered into him. Therefore Jesus *said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29 For some were thinking, because Judas (Q)had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of (R)for the feast”; or else, that he should (S)give something to the poor. 30 So after receiving the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And (T)it was night.

  1. John 13:21 Or hand Me over

18 I’m not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: ‘The one who ate bread with me[a] has turned against me.’[b] 19 I’m telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that I AM. 20 Truly, I tell all of you[c] emphatically, the one who receives whomever I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.”

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal(A)

21 After saying this, Jesus was deeply troubled in spirit and declared solemnly, “Truly, I tell all of you[d] emphatically, one of you is going to betray me!” 22 The disciples began looking at one another, completely mystified about whom he was speaking. 23 One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus kept loving, had been sitting very close to him.

24 So Simon Peter motioned to this man to ask Jesus about whom he was speaking. 25 Leaning forward on Jesus’ chest, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “He is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish.”[e]

Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.[f] 27 After he had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus told him, “Do quickly what you are going to do!” 28 Now no one at the table knew why Jesus[g] said this to him. 29 Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the destitute. 30 So Judas[h] took the piece of bread, immediately went outside…and it was night.
