18 (A)I am not speaking of all of you; I know (B)whom I have chosen. But (C)the Scripture will be fulfilled,[a] (D)‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 (E)I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, (F)whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, (G)Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, (H)“Truly, truly, I say to you, (I)one of you will betray me.” 22 (J)The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 (K)One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table (L)at Jesus' side,[b] 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus[c] of whom he was speaking. 25 (M)So that disciple, (N)leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, (O)“It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread (P)when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, (Q)he gave it to Judas, (R)the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, (S)Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, (T)“What you are going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, (U)because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need (V)for the feast,” or that he should (W)give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. (X)And it was night.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

18 “I am not referring to all of you;(A) I know those I have chosen.(B) But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture:(C) ‘He who shared my bread(D) has turned[a](E) against me.’[b](F)

19 “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe(G) that I am who I am.(H) 20 Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”(I)

21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit(J) and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”(K)

22 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. 23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved,(L) was reclining next to him. 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”

25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”(M)

26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas,(N) the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.(O)

So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29 Since Judas had charge of the money,(P) some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival,(Q) or to give something to the poor.(R) 30 As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.(S)

  2. John 13:18 Psalm 41:9

22 (A)Will any teach God knowledge,
    seeing that he (B)judges those who are on high?
23 One dies in his full vigor,
    being wholly at ease and secure,
24 his pails[a] full of milk
    and (C)the marrow of his bones moist.
25 Another dies in (D)bitterness of soul,
    never having tasted of prosperity.
26 They (E)lie down alike in the dust,
    and (F)the worms cover them.

27 “Behold, I know your thoughts
    and your schemes to wrong me.
28 For you say, (G)‘Where is the house of the prince?
    Where is (H)the tent in which the wicked lived?’
29 Have you not asked those who travel the roads,
    and do you not accept their testimony
30 that (I)the evil man is spared in the day of calamity,
    that he is rescued in the day of wrath?
31 Who declares his way (J)to his face,
    and who (K)repays him for what he has done?
32 When he is (L)carried to the grave,
    watch is kept over his tomb.
33 (M)The clods of the valley are sweet to him;
    (N)all mankind follows after him,
    and those who go before him are innumerable.
34 How then will you comfort me with empty nothings?
    There is nothing left of your answers but falsehood.”
