Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.

Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.

Then Peter, turning round, saw the disciple who was dear to Jesus coming after them--the disciple who was resting on his breast at the last meal, and said, Lord, who is it who will be false to you?
