22. His followers all looked at each other. They did not understand who Jesus was talking about.
23. One of the followers was next to Jesus and was leaning close to him. This was the one Jesus loved very much.
24. Simon Peter made signs to this follower to ask Jesus who he was talking about.
25. That follower leaned closer to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
26. Jesus answered him, “I will dip this bread into the dish. The man I give it to is the one.” So Jesus took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27. When Judas took the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus said to Judas, “What you will do—do it quickly!”
28. No one at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas.
29. Since Judas was the one in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus meant for him to go and buy some things they needed for the feast. Or they thought that Jesus wanted him to go give something to the poor.
30. Judas ate the bread Jesus gave him. Then he immediately went out. It was night.
31. When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “Now is the time for the Son of Man to receive his glory. And God will receive glory through him.
32. If God receives glory through him, he will give glory to the Son through himself. And that will happen very soon.”
33. Jesus said, “My children, I will be with you only a short time more. You will look for me, but I tell you now what I told the Jewish leaders: Where I am going you cannot come.
34. “I give you a new command: Love each other. You must love each other just as I loved you.
35. All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other.”
36. Simon Peter asked Jesus, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow now. But you will follow later.”
37. Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I am ready to die for you!”
