JOHN 13:21-30
After Jesus had said this, he was
deeply troubled and declared openly, “I am telling you the truth: one of you is
going to betray me.”
The disciples looked at one another,
completely puzzled about whom he meant.
One of the disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was sitting next to
Jesus. Simon Peter mentioned to him and
said, “Ask him whom he is talking about.”
So that disciple moved closer to
Jesus’ side and asked, “Who is it, Lord.” Jesus answered, “I will dip some
bread in the sauce and give it to him; he is the man.” So he took a piece of
bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. As soon as
Judas took the bread, Satan entered him.
Jesus said to him; “Be quick about what you are doing!” None of the others at the table understood
why Jesus said this to him. Since Judas was in charge of the money bag, some of
the disciples thought that Jesus had told him to go and by what they needed for
the festival, or to give something to the poor.
Heavenly Father, thank you for blessing me with talents. Be with me each always. Help me use your gifts to serve my brothers and sisters, and to build your kingdom. It is easy to condemn Judas' action. Lord, how often have I betrayed you when I do not obey your words? When I do not treat my brothers and sisters the way I want to be treated. Help me Lord to follow your steps. Give me a loving and forgiving heart like yours.

Judas accepted the bread and went
out at once. It was night.
