Jesus predicts his betrayal

Jesus predicts his betrayal three times in the New Testament, a narrative which is included in all four Canonical Gospels.

In the Gospel of John, the prediction is preceded by the assertion in 13:17–18 that Jesus knew that Judas Iscariot would betray him: "If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

[3] The Iscariot again calls Jesus Rabbi in Matthew 26:49 when he betrays him to the Sanhedrin in the Kiss of Judas episode.
