John 13:21-30

Jesus predicted His betrayal -- John 13:21-30: Jesus was deeply troubled in heart as He told the disciples that one of them would betray Him. In fact Judas had already betrayed Jesus and he was looking for the opportunity to deliver him up to the hands of the chief priests. The disciples were confused and started looking one to another. Surprisingly, none even suspected Judas. As they ate John was leaning on Jesus' bosom. Simon motioned for that disciple to find out which disciple Jesus was referring to. It is likely that the other disciples did not hear when Jesus said, "It is he to whom I shall give the morsel when I have dipped it." Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Jesus told Judas to go quickly and do what he had to do. The disciples did not understand what Jesus meant. They thought Judas was being sent to get something to prepare for the feast or to help the poor. Judas went out and it was night. He did his work under the cover of darkness.
