Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN 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.

13:28

But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.

No one else at the meal understood what Jesus was talking about.
(None of the others there understood what Jesus meant.

But: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as But is often translated that way. However, here the word introduces some parenthetical information. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate parenthetical information.

Verses 28–29 tell what the disciples were thinking. The main story returns in verse 30. The NET puts these two verses in parentheses. Some translations do not translate this word. Indicate that these two verses interrupt the main story in a way that is natural in your language.

no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him: The other people present did not understand what Jesus meant. They did not realize that Jesus was referring to Judas betraying him. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him (NIV)

No one at the table understood what he meant by this. (REB)

none of those present at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas (NET)

no one at the table: This phrase means “no one present except Jesus and Judas.” Here are some ways to make this phrase clearer or more natural in some languages:

no one else at the meal

none of the others at the table (NLT)

why Jesus had said this to him: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Jesus is literally “he,” as in the NRSV. The pronoun him refers to Judas. In some languages you may need to make this more explicit. For example:

why Jesus said this to Judas (NET)

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
