John 13:21–38

21 dAfter saying these things, Jesus was etroubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will fbetray me.” 22 The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 One of his disciples, gwhom Jesus loved, was reclining at table hat Jesus’ side,1 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus2 of whom he was speaking. 25 iSo that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, jSatan entered into him. Jesus said to him, k“What you are going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, lbecause Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man mglorified, and nGod is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. 33 Little children, oyet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and pjust as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ 34 qA new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have rlove for one another.”

36 sSimon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but tyou will follow afterward.” 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the urooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.
