Jesus Identifies His Betrayer

18 “I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the ^aScripture may be fulfilled, ^b‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’

19 ^aNow I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.

20 ^aMost assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

21 ^aWhen Jesus had said these things, ^bHe was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^cone of you will betray Me.”

22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

23 Now ^athere was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

Whomsoever I send (an tina pemyw). More precisely, "If I send any one" (third-class condition, an=ean and tina, indefinite pronoun accusative case, object of pemyw, first aorist active subjunctive of pempw, to send). This use of ei tiv or ean tiv (if any one) is very much like the indefinite relative ostiv and ov an (or ean), but the idiom is different. In Mark 8:34 f. we have both ei tiv qelei and ov ean while in John 14:13 f. we find oti an and ean ti (Robertson, Grammar, p. 956).
