Born to Betray, Part 2, John 13:18-30

John 13:18-30 NASB  "I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'  (19)  "From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.  (20)  "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."  (21)  When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."  (22)  The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.  (23)  There was reclining on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.  (24)  So Simon Peter *gestured to him, and *said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking."  (25)  He, leaning back thus on Jesus' bosom, *said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"  (26)  Jesus then *answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He *took and *gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.  (27)  After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus *said to him, "What you do, do quickly."  (28)  Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.  (29)  For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of for the feast"; or else, that he should give something to the poor.  (30)  So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.
