John 13:29

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

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

31 When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
