John 13:12-24 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

17. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

19. “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am He.

20. I assure you: Whoever receives anyone I send receives Me, and the one who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

21. When Jesus had said this, He was troubled in His spirit and testified, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me! ”
