Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

(Psalm 41:1–13)

I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture:‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’[fn] 19 I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am [He]. 20 Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives vvv the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the [One who] sent Me.”

21 

[After] Jesus had said [this], He became troubled in spirit and testified“Truly, truly, I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22 

The disciples looked at one another, perplexed as to which of them He meant. 23 One of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at [His] side.[fn] 24 So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask [Jesus] which one He was talking about. 25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked“Lord, who is it?”

26 

Jesus answered,“It is the [one] to whom I give [this] morsel after I have dipped [it].” Then He dipped the morsel and vvv gave [it] to Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot. 27 [And when Judas had taken] the morsel, Satan entered into him.

Then Jesus said to [Judas],“What you are about to do, do quickly.” 28 But no one [at the table] knew why [Jesus] had said this to him. 29 Since Judas kept the money bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor. 30 As soon as he had received the morsel, [Judas] went out [into the] night.
