18 (A)I am not speaking about all of you. I know the ones whom I have (B)chosen; but this is happening (C)so 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 happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that (F)I am He. 20 Truly, truly I say to you, (G)the one who [a]receives anyone I send, [b]receives Me; and the one who [c]receives Me [d]receives Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

21 When Jesus had said these things, He (H)became troubled in spirit, and [e]testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that (I)one of you will [f]betray Me.” 22 The disciples began looking at one another, (J)at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. 23 Lying back on (K)Jesus’ chest was one of His disciples, (L)whom Jesus loved. 24 So Simon Peter *nodded to this disciple and *said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.” 25 He then simply (M)leaned back on Jesus’ chest and *said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus then *answered, “That man 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 After [g]this, (O)Satan then (P)entered him. Therefore Jesus *said to him, “What you are doing, do it quickly.” 28 Now none of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29 For some were assuming, since Judas (Q)kept the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we need (R)for the feast”; or else, that he was to [h](S)give something to the poor. 30 So after receiving the piece of bread, he left immediately; and (T)it was night.

Jesus Identifies His Betrayer(A)

18 “I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the (B)Scripture may be fulfilled, (C)‘He who eats [a]bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19 (D)Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He. 20 (E)Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

21 (F)When Jesus had said these things, (G)He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (H)one of you will betray Me.” 22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

23 Now (I)there was [b]leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

25 Then, leaning [c]back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it. And having dipped the bread, He gave it to (J)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 (K)Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him. 29 For some thought, because (L)Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.
