Now Is The Son of Man Glorified

Scripture: John 13:18-38

“John 13:18 I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ John 13:19 I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. John 13:20 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

John 13:21 After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” John 13:22 The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. John 13:23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus’ side, John 13:24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. John 13:25 So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” John 13:26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. John 13:27 Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” John 13:28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. John 13:29 Some thought that, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. John 13:30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.

John 13:31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. John 13:32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. John 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. John 13:35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

John 13:36 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 afterward.” John 13:37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” John 13:38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.” (John 13:18–38 ESV)
