John 13:21-32

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.

31When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “The Son of Man is now glorified, and because of him God is glorified.

32If God is glorified because of the Son of Man, God will glorify the Son of Man because of himself, and he will glorify the Son of Man at once.”
