Day 78 - John 13:21-30

21 Now Jesus was deeply troubled, and he exclaimed, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me!”

22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he could mean. 23 The disciple Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table. 24 Simon Peter motioned to him to ask, “Who’s he talking about?” 25 So that disciple leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus responded, “It is the one to whom I give the bread I dip in the bowl.” And when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. 27 When Judas had eaten the bread, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus told him, “Hurry and do what you’re going to do.” 28 None of the others at the table knew what Jesus meant. 29 Since Judas was their treasurer, some thought Jesus was telling him to go and pay for the food or to give some money to the poor. 30 So Judas left at once, going out into the night.


Terrie's Comments:

The Holy Spirit must have reminded Jesus about what was going to take place on a new level.  It is rather an odd statement to just blurt out at the pass over meal (a meal of deliverance and celebration)... "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me!"  

It is so clear here that Jesus answered the question about who it would be pretty clearly.  It seems odd to me that when Judas left no one really seemed concerned about it.  I wonder how many moments came back to them after the resurrection and Ascension of Jesus as aha moments?  I am sure there were many of those moments, especially after they had the Holy Spirit to lead them into all truth.
