     05/12 - GospeL Verses 

21 - Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and said, “Truly, I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.” 22 The disciples looked at one another, not knowing what to think. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved (this is John, it’s how he sometimes referred to himself) was at the table by Jesus, 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus who he was speaking about. 25 So that disciple, leaning close to Jesus said, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It’s he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I’ve dipped it.” So when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered into him, and Jesus said to him, “What you’re going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this. 29 Some thought because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him to go buy what they would need for the feast or that he should give something to the poor.

     30 And so it was, that after receiving the piece of bread, Judas left and went out into the night.

     31 And when he had gone, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God glorified in him. 32 For if God is glorified in him also God will glorify him in himself and at once. 33 Little children, it’s only a short while that I’m with you. You’ll seek me, and just as I said to your countrymen, ‘Where I’m going you cannot follow.’ 34 And now a new commandment I give to you, love one another, just as I’ve loved you, you also love one another. 35 And by this all will know you’re my disciples! If you have love (true affection) for one another.” 36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I’m going you cannot follow me now, but you’ll follow me afterward.” 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!” 38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, I tell you Peter,  the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.”
