18 I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But it is to fulfill the scripture, ‘The one who ate my bread[a] has lifted his heel against me.’(A) 19 I tell you this now, before it occurs, so that when it does occur you may believe that I am he.[b](B) 20 Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.”(C)

Jesus Foretells His Betrayal

21 After saying this Jesus was troubled in spirit and declared, “Very truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me.”(D) 22 The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he was speaking. 23 One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining close to his heart;[c](E) 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. 25 So while reclining next to Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”(F) 26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.”[d] So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.[e](G) 27 After he received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “Do quickly what you are going to do.”(H) 28 Now no one knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, because Judas had the common purse, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the piece of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.

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.
