John 13:18-30

New King James Version

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.
