13:18

"I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the scripture: 'He who shares my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

13:19

"I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am He.

13:20

I tell you the truth, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me."

13:21

After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, "I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me."

13:22

His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant.

13:23

One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.

13:24

Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, "Ask him which one he means."

13:25

Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

13:26

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 Iscariot, son of Simon.

13:27

As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. "What you are about to do, do quickly," Jesus told him,

13:28

but no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.

13:29

Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the Feast, or to give something to the poor.

13:30

As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.
