²¹ And while they were eating, he said, “Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”^{[a] 22} Deeply distressed at this, they began to say to him one after another, “Surely it is not I, Lord?” ²³ He said in reply, “He who has dipped his hand into the dish with me is the one who will betray me. ^24 [b](A)The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.” ^25 [c]Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” He answered, “You have said so.”

^18 [a]And as they reclined at table and were eating, Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” ¹⁹ They began to be distressed and to say to him, one by one, “Surely it is not I?” ²⁰ He said to them, “One of the Twelve, the one who dips with me into the dish. ²¹ For the Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him,^[b] but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.”

²¹ When he had said this, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, “Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” ²² The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant. ²³ One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved,^[a] was reclining at Jesus’ side.^{(A) 24} So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant. ²⁵ He leaned back against Jesus’ chest and said to him, “Master, who is it?”^{(B) 26} Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I hand the morsel^[b] after I have dipped it.” So he dipped the morsel and [took it and] handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot. ²⁷ After he took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”^{(C) 28} [Now] none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him. ²⁹ Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or to give something to the poor.^{(D) 30} So he took the morsel and left at once. And it was night.
