John 13:18-30

18“I’m not talking about all of you. I know the people I’ve chosen ⌞to be apostles⌟. However, I’ve made my choice so that Scripture will come true. It says, ‘The one who eats my bread has turned against me.’

19I’m telling you now before it happens. Then, when it happens, you will believe that I am the one.

20“I can guarantee this truth: Whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”

21After saying this, Jesus was deeply troubled. He declared, “I can guarantee this truth: One of you is going to betray me!”

22The disciples began looking at each other and wondering which one of them Jesus meant.

23One disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, was near him at the table.

24Simon Peter motioned to that disciple and said, “Ask Jesus whom he’s talking about!”

25Leaning close to Jesus, that disciple asked, “Lord, who is it?”

26Jesus answered, “He’s the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I’ve dipped it in the sauce.” So Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

27Then, after Judas took the piece of bread, Satan entered him. So Jesus told him, “Hurry! Do what you have to do.”

28No one at the table knew why Jesus said this to him.

29Judas had the moneybag. So some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the poor.

30Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went outside. It was night.
