John 13:21-38 ▼

21 Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will deliver Me up”;

22 the disciples were looking, therefore, at one another, doubting concerning of whom He speaks.

23 And there was one of His disciples reclining in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

24 Simon Peter, then, beckons to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom He speaks,

25 and that one having leaned back on the breast of Jesus, responds to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answers, “It is that one to whom I, having dipped the morsel, will give it”; and having dipped the morsel, He gives [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

27 And after the morsel, then Satan entered into that one. Jesus, therefore, says to him, “What you do—do quickly”;

28 and none of those reclining to eat knew for what intent He said this to him,

29 for certain [of them] were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus says to him, “Buy what we have need of for the celebration”; or that he may give something to the poor;

30 having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

31 When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus says, “Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in Him;

32 if God was glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself; indeed, He will immediately glorify Him.

33 Little children, yet a little [while] am I with you; you will seek Me, and according as I said to the Jews, I also say to you now: To where I go away, you are not able to come.

34 A new command I give to you, that you love one another; according as I loved you, that you also love one another;

35 in this will all know that you are My disciples, if you may have love one to another.”

36 Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, to where do You go away?” Jesus answered him, “To where I go away, you are not able now to follow Me, but afterward you will follow Me.”

37 Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You now? I will lay down my life for You”;

38 Jesus answered him, “You will lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you may deny Me three times.”
