John 13:21-38 Amplified Bible (AMP)

21. After Jesus had said these things, He was troubled (disturbed, agitated) in spirit and said, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, one of you will deliver Me up [one of you will be false to Me and betray Me]!

22. The disciples kept looking at one another, puzzled as to whom He could mean.

23. One of His disciples, whom Jesus loved [whom He esteemed and delighted in], was reclining [next to Him] on Jesus' bosom.

24. So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask of whom He was speaking.

25. Then leaning back against Jesus' breast, he asked Him, Lord, who is it?

26. Jesus answered, It is the one to whom I am going to give this morsel (bit) of food after I have dipped it. So when He had dipped the morsel of bread [into the dish], He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son.

27. Then after [he had taken] the bit of food, Satan entered into and took possession of [Judas]. Jesus said to him, What you are going to do, do more swiftly than you seem to intend and make quick work of it.

28. But nobody reclining at the table knew why He spoke to him or what He meant by telling him this.

29. Some thought that, since Judas had the money box (the purse), Jesus was telling him, Buy what we need for the Festival, or that he should give something to the poor.

30. So after receiving the bit of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.

31. When he had left, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified! [Now He has achieved His glory, His honor, His exaltation!] And God has been glorified through and in Him.

32. And if God is glorified through and in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and He will glorify Him at once and not delay.

33. [Dear] little children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for Me and, as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: you are not able to come where I am going.

34. I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.

35. By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].

36. Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where are You going? Jesus answered, You are not able to follow Me now where I am going, but you shall follow Me afterwards.

37. Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.

38. Jesus answered, Will you [really] lay down your life for Me? I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me [completely disown Me] three times.
