Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit and bore witness and said: ‘Truly, truly I say to you all that one of you will betray me.’
The disciples looked at one another, confused over which one he was talking about.
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at the table close beside Jesus. So Simon Peter nodded to him, to ask who it might be that he was talking about. So accordingly leaning back upon Jesus’s chest, he said to him ‘Lord, who is it?’
Jesus answered ‘He is the one for whom I will dip the piece of bread and I will give it to him.’
So he dipped the piece of bread and gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.
And after [Judas took] the bread, the Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him ‘Do quickly what you must do.
’ None of those reclining at the table knew why he said this to him. For some thought, since Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him ‘Buy the things we need for the Festival’ or that he should give something to the poor.
So taking the piece of bread, immediately he left . It was night.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy,
For your mercy and for your truth’s sake. Amen
