John 13:1 to 17:26*
"It was before the festival of the Passover, and Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to pass from this world to the Father.  He had always loved those who were his in the world but now he showed how perfect his love was.  They were at supper, and the devil had already put it into the mind of Judas Iscariot son of Simon, to betray him.  Jesus knew that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God and was returning to God..."  (Jesus washes the feet of his disciples and gives a long farewell discourse in which he talks of Judas' betrayal and instructs the disciples about how they are to go forward after his death)
