13 He sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a jug of water. Follow him. 14 When he goes into a house, ^{▼▼Lit. Wherever he enters} say to its owner that the Teacher asks, ‘Where is my room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’ 15 Then he will show you a large upstairs room that is furnished and ready. Get everything ready for us there.” 16 So the disciples left and went into the city. They found everything just as Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. he} had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

17 When evening came, Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. he} arrived with the twelve.Matt 26:20 18 While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me, one who is eating with me.”

19 They began to be very sad and said to him, one after the other, “Surely I am not the one, am I?”

20 He said to them, “It's one of you twelve, the one who is dipping his bread into the bowl with me. 21 For the Son of Man is going away, just as it has been written about him, but how terrible it will be for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had never been born.”Matt 26:24; Luke 22:22

John 13:21-30

21 Jesus Predicts His Betrayal Matthew 26:20-25; Mark 14:17-21; Luke 22:21-23After saying this, Jesus was deeply troubled in spirit and declared solemnly, “Truly, truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me!”Matt 26:21; Mark 14:18; Luke 22:21; John 12:27; Acts 1:17; 1John 2:19 22 The disciples began looking at one another, completely mystified about whom he was speaking. 23 One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus kept loving, was sitting very close to him.John 19:26; 20:2 24 So Simon Peter motioned to this man to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking.

25 Leaning forward on Jesus’ chest, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “He is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish.” ^{▼▼The Gk. lacks in the dish}

Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. ^{▼▼Other mss. read Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon} 27 After he had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “Do quickly what you are going to do!”Luke 22:3; John 6:70 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the destitute.John 12:6 30 So Judas ^{▼▼Lit. he} took the piece of bread and immediately went outside. And it was night.
