21 While they were eating, He said, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me.”(A)

22 Deeply distressed, each one began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23 He replied, “The one who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl—he will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him,(B) but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”

18 While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me!”

19 They began to be distressed and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”

Judas’s Betrayal Predicted

21 When(I) Jesus had said this, He was troubled in His spirit(J) and testified,(K) “I assure you: One of you will betray Me!”

22 The disciples started looking at one another—uncertain which one He was speaking about. 23 One of His disciples, the one Jesus loved,(L) was reclining close beside Jesus.[c] 24 Simon Peter motioned to him to find out who it was He was talking about. 25 So he leaned back against Jesus and asked Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus replied, “He’s the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it.”(M) When He had dipped the bread,(N) He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.[d]
