John 13:26-35 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

26. Jesus answered, "It is the one I will give this piece of bread to. I will give it to him after I have dipped it in the dish." He dipped the piece of bread. Then he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.

27. As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. "Do quickly what you are going to do," Jesus told him.

28. But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.

29. Judas was in charge of the money. So some of the disciples thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the Feast. Others thought Jesus was talking about giving something to poor people.

30. As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.

31. After Judas was gone, Jesus spoke. He said, "Now the Son of Man receives glory. And he brings glory to God.

32. If the Son brings glory to God, God himself will bring glory to the Son. God will do it at once.

33. "My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me. Just as I told the Jews, so I am telling you now. You can't come where I am going.

34. "I give you a new command. Love one another. You must love one another, just as I have loved you.

35. If you love one another, everyone will know you are my disciples."
