SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:21–30: Jesus predicted that someone would betray him

In this section Jesus told his disciples that one of them would betray him. The disciples wondered who he meant. Jesus showed them by giving a piece of bread to Judas. Judas then left the room.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus predicted that one of his disciples would betray him

Jesus knew one of his disciples would oppose him

Paragraph 13:21–30

The Jewish custom at meals was to have several couches arranged in a U-shape around the table. The guests reclined (leaned) on the couches around the table, leaning on their left elbow. Jesus was probably in the center, and John was on Jesus’ right. In this paragraph Peter told John to ask Jesus who would betray him. Jesus said that the person to whom he gave bread would be the one who would betray him. He gave the bread to Judas.

13:30a

As soon as he had received the morsel, Judas went out

As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. (NIV)
Judas took the piece of bread and immediately left the house.

The Greek begins this verse with a conjunction that indicates a return to the main story after the parenthetical comment in 13:28–29. Most English translations, including the BSB, do not explicitly translate this word. Indicate this return to the main story in a way that is natural in your language.

As soon as he had received the morsel, Judas went out: The verb received here mean “taking” or “accepting.” Judas accepted the bread that Jesus gave to him.

As soon as…Judas went out: This phrase indicates that Judas at once left the meal and the house where the disciples were eating. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

immediately went outside (GW)

As soon as Judas had taken the piece of bread he went out. (NJB)

the morsel: See how you translated this in 13:26a, c.

General Comment on 13:30a

In some languages it may be natural to translate 13:30a using two independent verbs. For example:

Judas accepted the bread and went out at once. (GNT)

13:30b

into the night.

It was night.
And night had arrived.

into the night: This clause indicates that the sun had set and it was now dark. The night in this gospel represents Jesus’ death. See 9:4b and the note there. Not only was it dark when Judas went out, but it was the time for Jesus to die.
