I am telling you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he.
In context
17Now that you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18I am not speaking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: ‘The one who eats my bread has turned his heel against me.’ 19I am telling you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he. 20Very truly I tell you, whoever receives anyone I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.” 21After saying this, Jesus was shaken in spirit, and he declared, “Very truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”
