John 13:21

Jesus
Grief

19 I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am He.

20 Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me.”

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

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

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