John 13:18
But I know that one of you will not do it. So I am not talking about all of you. You see, I picked all of you to be my followers, but I knew that one of you will turn against me. A long time ago, God got one of his men to write about this, and it is in God’s book. He wrote, ‘A man ate with me, but then he turned against me.’ And now that will happen, just like that man wrote.
