John 13:27-34 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

27. As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus said to Judas, “The thing that you will do—do it quickly!”

28. None of the men at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas.

29. He was the one who kept the money box. So some of the followers thought that Jesus was telling Judas to buy what was needed for the feast. Or they thought that Jesus wanted Judas to give something to the poor.

30. Judas accepted the bread Jesus gave him and immediately went out. It was night.

31. When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man receives his glory. And God receives glory through him.

32. If God receives glory through him, then God will give glory to the Son through himself. And God will give him glory quickly.”

33. Jesus said, “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me. And what I told the Jews, I tell you now: Where I am going you cannot come.

34. “I give you a new command: Love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you.
