John 13:18-30

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹⁸ I am not speaking with-reference-to all of you. I know the ones whom I chose. But it is taking place in order that the Scripture [in Ps 41:9] might be fulfilled: ‘The one eating My bread lifted-up his heel against Me’. ¹⁹ From now on, I am telling you ahead of it taking place, in order that when it takes place you may believe that I am the One. ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, the one receiving whomever I send is receiving Me. And the one receiving Me is receiving the One having sent Me”.

Judas Is Identified As The Betrayer, And Leaves The Room

²¹ Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in His spirit. And He testified and said “Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will hand Me over”. ²² The disciples were looking at one another, being perplexed about whom He was speaking. ²³ One of His disciples was reclining-back at the bosom of Jesus— the one whom Jesus was loving. ²⁴ So Simon Peter nods^[a] to this one to inquire as to who it might be about whom He is speaking. ²⁵ So that one, having leaned back thus on the chest of Jesus, says to Him, “Lord, who is it?” ²⁶ Jesus answers, “It is that one for whom I will dip the piece-of-bread and give it to him”. Then having dipped the piece-of-bread, He takes and gives it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷ And after the piece-of-bread, at that time Satan entered into that one. Then Jesus says to him, “What you are doing, do quicker^[b]”. ²⁸ Now none of the ones reclining-back [to eat] understood this— for what purpose He said it to him. ²⁹ For some were thinking, since Judas had the money-box, that Jesus was telling him, “Buy the things of which we have a need for the Feast”, or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ So having received the piece-of-bread, that one went out immediately. And it was night.
