64 But some of you don't believe.| Jesus knew from the beginning those who wouldn't believe and the one who would betray him.

65 So he added, |That is why I told you that people cannot come to me unless the Father provides the way.|

66 Jesus' speech made many of his disciples go back to the lives they had led before they followed Jesus.

67 So Jesus asked the twelve apostles, |Do you want to leave me too?|

68 Simon Peter answered Jesus, |Lord, to what person could we go? Your words give eternal life.

69 Besides, we believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.|

70 Jesus replied, |I chose all twelve of you. Yet, one of you is a devil.|

71 Jesus meant Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. Judas, who was one of the twelve apostles, would later betray Jesus.
