John 13:28

"After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”"

Key Reflection

This passage signifies that after Judas had taken the piece of bread as a sign from Jesus, the moment symbolizing betrayal, Satan exerted his influence over him fully. Jesus then instructed Judas to act swiftly on this decision, underscoring the inevitability and finality of Judas's betrayal.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verses 28,29. No man at the table knew. This shows that Jesus had signified to John only who it was that should betray him. The bag. The travelling-bag in which they put their common property. See Barnes "Joh 12:6". Have need of against the feast. The feast continued seven days, and they supposed that Jesus had directed him to make preparation for their wants on those days. __________________________________________________________________
