Jesus Identifies His Betrayer(A)

18 “I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the (B)Scripture may be fulfilled, (C)‘He who eats [a]bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19 (D)Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He. 20 (E)Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

21 (F)When Jesus had said these things, (G)He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (H)one of you will betray Me.” 22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

23 Now (I)there was [b]leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

25 Then, leaning [c]back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it. And having dipped the bread, He gave it to (J)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 (K)Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him. 29 For some thought, because (L)Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

The New Commandment

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, (M)“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and (N)God is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and (O)glorify Him immediately. 33 Little children, I shall be with you a (P)little while longer. You will seek Me; (Q)and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. 34 (R)A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 (S)By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

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)

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(T)

31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man(U) is glorified(V) and God is glorified in him.(W) 32 If God is glorified in him,[c] God will glorify the Son in himself,(X) and will glorify him at once.

33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.(Y)

34 “A new command(Z) I give you: Love one another.(AA) As I have loved you, so you must love one another.(AB) 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”(AC)
