18 I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’Psalm 41:9 19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he. 20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”

21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”

22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”

25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him.

Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

18 “I’m not speaking about all of you; I know those I have chosen.(A) But the Scripture(B) must be fulfilled: (C) The one who eats my bread[a] has raised his heel against me.[b](D) 19 I am telling you now before it happens,(E) so that when it does happen you will believe(F) that I am he.(G) 20 Truly I tell you, whoever receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives(H) me receives him who sent me.”

Judas’s Betrayal Predicted

21 When(I) Jesus had said this, he was troubled in his spirit(J) and testified,(K) “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,(L) was reclining close beside Jesus.[c] 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.”(M) When he had dipped the bread,(N) he gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.[d] 27 After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan(O) 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(P) kept the money-bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,”(Q) or that he should give something to the poor. 30 After receiving the piece of bread, he immediately left. And it was night.(R)
