(Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for Judas, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.)

But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was going to betray him) said,

(Now Judas said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money box, he used to steal what was put into it.)

The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, that he should betray Jesus.

Jesus replied, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish." Then he dipped the piece of bread in the dish and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.

And after Judas took the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are about to do, do quickly."

(Now none of those present at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas.

Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him to buy whatever they needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.)

Judas took the piece of bread and went out immediately. (Now it was night.)

When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

"Lord," Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

(Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, knew the place too, because Jesus had met there many times with his disciples.)

So Judas obtained a squad of soldiers and some officers of the chief priests and Pharisees. They came to the orchard with lanterns and torches and weapons.

They replied, "Jesus the Nazarene." He told them, "I am he." (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was standing there with them.)
