John 13:21-30

New International Version

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

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,^(C) 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?”^(D)

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,^(E) the son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷ As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.^(F)

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,^(G) some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival,^(H) or to give something to the poor.^{(I) 30} As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.^(J)
