John 13:1

Bible in Basic English (1941)

Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

    25 He, then, resting his head on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?

    26 This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

    27 And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

    28 Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.
