John 6:66-71

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶⁶ Jesus’ speech made many of his disciples go back to the lives they had led before they followed Jesus. ⁶⁷ So Jesus asked the twelve apostles, “Do you want to leave me too?”

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered Jesus, “Lord, to what person could we go? Your words give eternal life. ⁶⁹ Besides, we believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”

⁷⁰ Jesus replied, “I chose all twelve of you. Yet, one of you is a devil.” ⁷¹ Jesus meant Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. Judas, who was one of the twelve apostles, would later betray Jesus.
