13:18-30 "However I do not speak about all of
you. I know those people that I
chose. But that the Scripture
may be fulfilled, the one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against
me. I tell you about this now
before it happens so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he
(the Christ). Truly, truly I tell you the one who receives whoever I may send,
also receives me and the one who receives me also receives the one
who has sent me." In saying these things Jesus was troubled within his
spirit and he admitted this
saying "Truly, truly I tell you that one of you will betray me." The disciples looked at each other
because they were wondering who he was talking about. Now one of the disciples was leaning
against Jesus as they reclined.
He was the one Jesus loved especially. Simon Peter therefore nodded
to this

and says to him "Ask who it is that he is talking about." So leaning back, so his head rested
on the breast of Jesus he says to him "Lord who is it?" Jesus therefore answered him
"It is the one that I give a morsel of food to after I have dipped
it." Jesus
therefore took a morsel of food, dipped it and gave it to Judas, son of
Simon Iscariot. After taking
the morsel of food Satan entered into that one. Jesus therefore says to him
"What you are going to do do quickly." But none of those who were reclining
there knew what he had told him.
Some thought that since Judas had the common bag (of money) Jesus
was telling him "Buy what
we need for the feast." Or
that he was saying he should give something to the poor. So, on having taken the morsel
of food that one went out immediately.
It was then night.
