18 " 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 e 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 .

(Read John 13:18-30)
Our Lord had often spoken of his own sufferings and death, without such trouble of spirit as he now discovered when he spake of Judas. The sins of Christians are the grief of Christ. We are not to confine our attention to Judas. The prophecy of his treachery may apply to all who partake of God's mercies, and meet them with ingratitude. See the infidel, who only looks at the Scriptures with a desire to do away their authority and destroy their influence; the hypocrite, who professes to believe the Scriptures, but will not govern himself by them; and the apostate, who turns aside from Christ for a thing of naught. Thus mankind, supported by God's providence, after eating bread with Him, lift up the heel against Him! Judas went out as one weary of Jesus and his apostles. Those whose deeds are evil, love darkness rather than light.
