The Book of John - Chapter 13:21-30 - (ESV)

One of You Will Betray Me - {Interlinear <Greek>}

13:21 - After → saying {εἰπὼν<legō>} these {Ταῦτα<houtos>} things, ← Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς<ho Iēsous>} was → troubled {ἐταράχθη<tarassō>} in → his • spirit, {τῷ πνεύματι {ho pneuma>} and {καὶ<kai>} testified, {ἐμαρτύρησεν<martyreō>} • {καὶ< kai>} • {εἶπεν·<legō>} Truly, {ἀμὴν<amēn>} truly, {ἀμὴν<amēn>} I → say {λέγω<legō>} to → you, {ὑμῖν<sy>} • {ὅτι<hoti>} one {εἷς<heis>} of {ἐξ<ek>} you {ὑμῶν<sy>} will → betray {παραδώσει<paradidōmi>} me.” {με.<egō>}

13:22 - • {οὖν<oun>} The {οἱ<ho>} disciples {μαθηταί,<mathētēs>} looked {ἔβλεπον <blepō>} at {εἰς<eis>} one another, {ἀλλήλους<allēlōn>} uncertain {ἀπορούμενοι <aporeō>} of {περὶ<peri>} whom {τίνος<tis>} he → spoke. {λέγει.<legō>}

13:23 - One {εἷς<heis>} of {ἐκ<ek>} his {αὐτοῦ<autos>} disciples, {τῶν μαθητῶν<ho athētēs>} whom {ὃν<hos>} Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς·<ho Iēsous>} loved, {ἠγάπα<agapaō>} was {Ἦν<eimi>} reclining {ἀνακείμενος<anakeimai>} at • table • at {ἐν<en>} Jesus’ {τοῦ Ἰησοῦ <ho Iēsous>} side, {τῷ κόλπῳ<ho kolpos>}

13:24 - so {οὖν<oun>} Simon {Σίμων<Simōn>} Peter {Πέτρος<Petros>} motioned {νεύει<neuō>} to him {τούτῳ<houtos>} to → ask {πυθέσθαι<pynthanomai>} Jesus • of {περὶ<peri>} whom {οὗ<hos>} he → was → speaking. {λέγει.<legō>}

13:25 - So {οὖν<oun>} that {ἐκεῖνος<ekeinos>} disciple, ← leaning back {ἀναπεσὼν <anapiptō>} • {οὕτως<houtōs>} against {ἐπὶ<epi>} • {τὸ <ho>} • {στῆθος <stēthos>} Jesus, {τοῦ Ἰησοῦ<ho Iēsous>} said {λέγει<legō>} to → him, {αὐτῷ· <autos>} “Lord, {κύριε,<kyrios>} who {τίς<tis>} is {ἐστιν;<eimi>} it?” ←

13:26 - Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς· <ho Iēsous>} answered, {ἀποκρίνεται<apokrinomai>} “It → is {ἐστιν <eimi} he {ἐκεῖνός<ekeinos>} to → whom {ᾧ<hos>} I → will → give {δώσω <didōmi>} this • morsel {τὸ ψωμίον<ho psōmion>} of ← bread ← when • I {ἐγὼ <egō>} have → dipped {βάψας<baptō>} • {καὶ<kai>} • {αὐτῷ.<autos>} it.” • So {οὖν <oun>} when → he → had → dipped {βάψας<baptō>} the {τὸ<ho>} morsel, {ψωμίον<psōmion>} he → gave {δίδωσιν<didōmi>} it • to → Judas, {Ἰούδᾳ<Ioudas>} the • son • of → Simon {Σίμωνος <Simōn>} Iscariot. {Ἰσκαριώτου.<Iskariōtēs>}

13:27 - • {καὶ<kai>} Then {τότε<tote>} after {μετὰ<meta>} he • had • taken • the {τὸ<ho>} morsel, {ψωμίον,<psōmion>} Satan {ὁ σατανᾶς.<ho Satanas>} entered {εἰσῆλθεν <eiserchomai>} into {εἰς<eis>} him. {ἐκεῖνον<ekeinos>} • {οὖν<oun>} Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς· <ho Iēsous>} said {Λέγει<legō>} to → him, {αὐτῷ<autos>} “What {ὃ <hos>} you → are → going → to → do, {ποιεῖς,<poieō>} do {ποίησον<poieō>} quickly.” {τάχιον.<tachion>}

13:28 - Now {δὲ<de>} no one {οὐδεὶς<oudeis>} at the table {τῶν ἀνακειμένων <ho nakeimai>} knew {ἔγνω<ginōskō>} why {πρὸς τί <pros tis>} he → said {εἶπεν <legō>} this {τοῦτο <houtos>} to → him. {αὐτῷ.<autos>}

13:29 - Some {τινὲς<tis>} thought {ἐδόκουν,<dokeō>} that, {ὅτι<hoti>} because {ἐπεὶ<epei>} Judas {Ἰούδας,<Ioudas>} had {εἶχεν<echō>} the {τὸ<ho>} moneybag, {γλωσσόκομον<glōssokomon>} Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς·<ho Iēsous>} was → telling {λέγει <legō>} him, {αὐτῷ<autos>} “Buy {ἀγόρασον<agorazō>} what {ὧν<hos>} we → need {χρείαν ἔχομεν<chreia echō>} for {εἰς<eis>} the {τὴν<ho>} feast,” {ἑορτήν,<heortē>} or {ἢ<ē>} that {ἵνα<hina>} he → should → give {δῷ.<didōmi>} something {τί<tis>} to → the {τοῖς<ho>} poor. {πτωχοῖς<ptōchos>}

13:30 - So, {οὖν<oun>} after → receiving {λαβὼν<lambanō>} the {τὸ<ho>} morsel {ψωμίον <psōmion>} of ← bread, ← {ἐκεῖνος<ekeinos>} immediately {εὐθύς· <euthys>} went out. {ἐξῆλθεν <exerchomai>} And {δὲ<de>} it → was {ἦν<eimi>} night. {νύξ.<nyx>}

John 13:21–30 -

The troubling of Jesus’ spirit in the upper room (v. 21) was simply the firstfruits of the agony he would experience later that same evening in the garden of Gethsemane (Matt. 26:36–46). Earlier in his Gospel, John shared the legend of the healing waters of the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1–17). When the waters were “stirred up” (5:7; the same word translated “troubled” in 13:21), healing was reputedly given to the first person who stepped in (see ESV footnote on 5:3). With Jesus, salvation is not merely reputed but is guaranteed for all who trust in him. All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Notice the stark contrast between John, the disciple who leans against Jesus’ side (13:23), and Judas, the disciple who betrays him unto death. Only sovereign grace can explain the difference.
