John 13:27
And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly. That which thou dost, do quickly... It is not a license, much less a command, to go about his treason: but a signification to him that Christ would not hinder or resist what he was about, do it as soon as he pleased: but was both ready and desirous to suffer for our redemption.
Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner, 1752)
In The King James Version
