John 13:27 Then after [he had taken] the bit of food, Satan entered into {and} took possession of [Judas]. Jesus said to him, What you are going to do, do more swiftly than you seem to intend {and} make quick work of it.
John 13:28 But nobody reclining at the table knew why He spoke to him {or} what He meant by telling him this.
John 13:29 Some thought that, since Judas had the money box (the purse), Jesus was telling him, Buy what we need for the Festival, or that he should give something to the poor.
John 13:30 So after receiving the bit of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.
John 13:31 When he, (Judas) had left, Jesus said,
"Now ",is the Son of Man glorified! [Now He has achieved His glory, His honor, His exaltation!] And God has been glorified through {and} in Him.
John 13:32 And if God is glorified through {and} in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and He will glorify Him at once {and} not delay.
John 13:33 [Dear] little children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for Me and, as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: you are not able to come where I am going.
John 13:34 I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.
John 13:35 By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].
One night in a chat room I asked the question what did Jesus say to Judas? God had put this in my spirit to meditate on and it was in my spirit for about two weeks. Oh we know Jesus knew all things, knew the intent of people's hearts and He knew Lazarus was dead too. Judas fulfilled the purpose he was created though many do not see it as such. They want to blame satan but the enemy did not conquer Christ in the desert and yet when he came out to be baptized? The Bible says, satan went away and would come back at a later time...but satan never did anything apart from the Lord knowing about it and what the enemy did do? All he did do was used for the glorification of Christ as we see highlighted in blue and the red word that says "now" is He saying He was glorified through this happening; as soon as Judas left the room. We read where satan entered Judas before he took his bread and it has been said satan made Judas go do what Jesus told him to go about doing but Jesus loved Judas enough to say, do what you have to do and be quick about it. Jesus then turns and tells the deciples to love one another so that all men will know they are His deciples. How will people know you love them even when the people closest to you are betraying you; slandering you, saying all manner of things bad about you? Jesus said I give you a new commandment right after He tells Judas to go do what he has to do. This is love for your "enemy" when you love with a unconditional love that says, say or do what you want to, I will love you anyway because God will be glorified through me and Jesus gave it as a commandment, so I will love my enemy because He did.
