John 13:21-30

[21] When Jesus  said,  he was troubled  in spirit,  and  testified,  and  said,  Verily,  I say  that  one  of  shall betray  [22] the disciples  looked  one on another,  doubting  of  whom  he spake.  [23] leaning  on  Jesus'  bosom  one  of his  disciples,  whom  Jesus  loved.  [24] Simon  Peter  therefore  beckoned  that he should ask  who  it should  of  whom  he spake.  [25] He  Jesus'  breast  saith  unto him,  Lord,  who  [26] Jesus  answered,  He  to whom  a sop,  when I  have dipped  it. And  the sop,  he gave  it to Judas  Iscariot,  the son of Simon.  [27] And  after  the sop  Satan  entered  into  him.  Then  said  Jesus  unto him,  That  thou doest,  quickly.  [28] Now  no man  at the table  knew  for what  intent  he spake  unto him.  [29] For  some  of them thought,  because  Judas  had  the bag,  that  Jesus  had said  unto him,  Buy  those things that  we have  need of  against  the feast;  or,  that  he should give  something  to the poor.  [30] He  then  having received  the sop  immediately  out:  and  night.
