Gospel of the Day – John 13,21-33,36-38

“After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and declared, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” His disciples looked at one another, uncertain as to whom he meant.

One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining beside him. Simon Peter motioned to this disciple, as if to say, “Ask him who he means.”

Leaning over to Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”
Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.”

Then he dipped the piece of bread in his mouth and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son. As soon as Judas ate the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus said to him, "What you are about to do, do quickly."

But no one at the table understood why Jesus told him this.
Since Judas was in charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.

As soon as he had eaten the bread, Judas went out. And it was night. After Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him soon. “My little children, I will be with you just a little longer.

You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: Where I am going, you cannot come. Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?”

Jesus answered him, Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow me later. Peter said to him, Why cannot I follow you now? I will give my life for you.

Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.”
