18. “I am not talking about all of you. I know the people I have chosen. But what the Scriptures say must happen: ‘The man who shared my food has turned against me.’
19. I am telling you this now before it happens. Then when it happens, you will believe that I AM.
20. I assure you, whoever accepts the person I send also accepts me. And whoever accepts me also accepts the one who sent me.”
21. After Jesus said these things, he felt very troubled. He said openly, “Believe me when I say that one of you will hand me over to my enemies.”
22. His followers all looked at each other. They did not understand who Jesus was talking about.
23. One of the followers was next to Jesus and was leaning close to him. This was the one Jesus loved very much.
24. Simon Peter made signs to this follower to ask Jesus who he was talking about.
25. That follower leaned closer to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
26. Jesus answered him, “I will dip this bread into the dish. The man I give it to is the one.” So Jesus took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27. When Judas took the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus said to Judas, “What you will do—do it quickly!”
28. No one at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas.
29. Since Judas was the one in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus meant for him to go and buy some things they needed for the feast. Or they thought that Jesus wanted him to go give something to the poor.
