One of you will betray me

Matt 26:20–25 · Mark 14:17–21 · Luke 22:21–23 · John 13:21–30

Matthew

Matt 26:20–25

20When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

25Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

Mark

Mark 14:17–21

17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

Luke

Luke 22:21–23

21Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

22Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

23Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

John

John 13:21–30

21After Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit and testified, “Truly, truly, I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

22The disciples looked at one another, perplexed as to which of them He meant.

23One of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at His side.

24So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one He was talking about.

25Leaning back against Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”

26Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this morsel after I have dipped it.” Then He dipped the morsel and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.

27And when Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”

28But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.

29Since Judas kept the money bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.

30As soon as he had received the morsel, Judas went out into the night.

Marked: the words every account has, in the translation you read. The most frequent words (“and”, “he”) are not marked; a word in another form may not be.
