John 13:18

I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

I speak {G3004} not {G3756} of {G4012} you {G5216} all {G3956}: I {G1473} know {G1492} whom {G3739} I have chosen {G1586}: but {G235} that {G2443} the scripture {G1124} may be fulfilled {G4137}, He that eateth {G5176} bread {G740} with {G3326} me {G1700} hath lifted up {G1869} his {G846} heel {G4418} against {G1909} me {G1691}.

“I’m not talking to all of you — I know which ones I have chosen. But the words of the Tanakh must be fulfilled that say, ‘The one eating my bread has turned against me.’

I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me.
