John 13:27-38 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

27. At once Satan took control of Judas.Jesus said, “Judas, go quickly and do what you have to do.”

28. No one at the meal understood what Jesus meant.

29. But because Judas was in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus had told him to buy something they needed for the festival. Others thought that Jesus had told him to give some money to the poor.

30. Judas took the piece of bread and went out.It was already night.

31. After Judas had gone, Jesus said:Now the Son of Man will be given glory, and he will bring glory to God.

32. Then, after God is given glory because of him, God will bring glory to him, and God will do it very soon.

33. My children, I will be with you for a little while longer. Then you will look for me, but you won't find me. I tell you just as I told the people, “You cannot go where I am going.”

34. But I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just as I have loved you.

35. If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples.

36. Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?”Jesus answered, “You can't go with me now, but later on you will.”

37. Peter asked, “Lord, why can't I go with you now? I would die for you!”

38. “Would you really die for me?” Jesus asked. “I tell you for certain that before a cock crows, you will say three times that you don't even know me.”
