Read John 13 in full →18“aI do not speak about all of you. I know the ones I have bchosen; but cthat the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘dHe who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19“From now on aI am telling you before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe that bI am He. 20“Truly, truly, I say to you, ahe who receives anyone I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”
Jesus Predicts His Betrayal
21When Jesus had said these things, He abecame troubled in spirit, and bore witness and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that bone of you will 1betray Me.” 22The disciples began looking at one another, aperplexed about whom He *spoke. 23There was reclining on aJesus’ bosom one of His disciples, bwhom Jesus loved. 24So Simon Peter *gestured to him to inquire, “Who is the one of whom He is speaking?” 25He, aleaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, *said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” 26Jesus *answered, “He is the one for whom I shall dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread, He *took and *gave it to Judas, athe son of Simon Iscariot. 27And after the piece of bread, aSatan then bentered into him. Therefore Jesus *said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. 29For some were thinking, because Judas ahad the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of bfor the feast”; or else, that he should cgive something to the poor. 30So after receiving the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And ait was night.
31Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus *said, “Now 1is athe Son of Man bglorified, and cGod 2is glorified in Him; 321if God is glorified in Him, aGod will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately. 33“aLittle children, I am with you ba little while longer. cYou will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34“A anew commandment I give to you, bthat you love one another, ceven as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35“aBy this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “aWhere I go, you cannot follow Me now; but byou will follow later.” 37Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? aI will lay down my life for You.” 38Jesus *answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, aa rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.
