John 13:18-20
EasyEnglish Bible
18 Jesus then said, ‘I am not talking about all of you. I know the people that I have chosen. The Bible says, “Someone who ate food with me has turned against me.”[a] 19 I am telling you this now, before it happens. So then, when it does happen, you will believe me. You will believe that “I am who I am”.[b] 20 I tell you this: Anyone who accepts someone that I send to them is also accepting me. Anyone who accepts me is also accepting my Father God who sent me.’
