John 13:16-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

16. Amen, amen, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his Lord, and the apostle is not greater than he who sent him.

17. If you understand this, you shall be blessed if you will do it.

18. I am not speaking about all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But this is so that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with me shall lift up his heel against me.'

19. And I tell you this now, before it happens, so that when it has happened, you may believe that I am.

20. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives anyone whom I send, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives him who sent me."

21. When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit. And he bore witness by saying: "Amen, amen, I say to you, that one among you shall betray me."

22. Therefore, the disciples looked around at one another, uncertain about whom he spoke.

23. And leaning against the bosom of Jesus was one of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved.

24. Therefore, Simon Peter motioned to this one and said to him, "Who is it that he is speaking about?"

25. And so, leaning against the chest of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

26. Jesus responded, "It is he to whom I shall extend the dipped bread." And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.

27. And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."

28. Now none of those sitting at table knew why he had said this to him.

29. For some were thinking that, because Judas held the purse, that Jesus had told him, "Buy those things which are needed by us for the feast day," or that he might give something to the needy.

30. Therefore, having accepted the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night.

31. Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said: "Now the Son of man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
