Context of John 6:69

67Then Jesus asked the 12 apostles, ‘Do you want to go away from me, too?’ 68Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, there is nobody else that we could go to. You speak the words that give us life for ever. We believe that you are the Holy One that God has sent. We are sure about that.’ 70Jesus replied, ‘I have chosen the 12 of you. But one of you is a servant of Satan!’ 71He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Judas was one of the 12 apostles, but later he would sell Jesus to Jesus' enemies.
