John 13:21-38

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.”

33Jesus said, “Dear children, I will still be with you for a little while. I’m telling you what I told the Jews. You will look for me, but you can’t go where I’m going.

34“I’m giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you.

35Everyone will know that you are my disciples because of your love for each other.”

36Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “You can’t follow me now to the place where I’m going. However, you will follow me later.”

37Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I’ll give my life for you.”

38Jesus replied, “Will you give your life for me? I can guarantee this truth: No rooster will crow until you say three times that you don’t know me.
