(1) Mark 14:17-21

14:17 When it was evening, he came with the twelve. 14:18 And when they had taken their places and were eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me." 14:19 They began to be distressed and to say to him one after another, "Surely, not I?" 14:20 He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the bowl with me. 14:21 For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born."

= Matt 26:20-25
26:20 When it was evening, he took his place with the twelve; 26:21 and while they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me." 26:22 And they became greatly distressed and began to say to him one after another, "Surely not I, Lord?" 26:23 He answered, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. 26:24 The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born." 26:25 Judas, who betrayed him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" He replied, "You have said so."

= Luke 22:14,21-23
22:14 When the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him.
22:21 But see, the one who betrays me is with me, and his hand is on the table. 22:22 For the Son of Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that one by whom he is betrayed!" 22:23 Then they began to ask one another, which one of them it could be who would do this.

(2) 1Clem 46:8a

/7/Why do we divide and tear assunder the members of Christ, and raise up strife against our own body, and reach such a pitch of madness as to forget that we are members of one another? Remember the words of the Lord Jesus; /8/for he said, "Woe unto that man: it were good for him if he had not been born, than that he should offend one of my elect; it were better for him that a millstone be hung on him, and he be cast into the sea, than that he should turn aside one of my elect." /9/ Your schism has turned aside many, has cast many into discouragement, many to doubt, all of us to grief; and your sedition continues. [Sayings Parallels]

(3) HermVis 4.2:6b

Believe in the Lord, you double-minded.
Woe to those who hear these words and disobey;
it would have been better for them not to have been born. [Hermeneia]

(4a) John 6:70-71

6:70 Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve? Yet one of you is a devil." 6:71 He was speaking of Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for he, though one of the twelve, was going to betray him.

(4b) John 13:18-19

13:18 I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But it is to fulfill the scripture, 'The one who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.' 13:19 I tell you this now, before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am he.

(4c) John 13:21-30

13:21 After saying this Jesus was troubled in spirit, and declared, "Very truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me." 13:22 The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he was speaking. 13:23 One of his disciples--the one whom Jesus loved--was reclining next to him; 13:24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. 13:25 So while reclining next to Jesus, he asked him, "Lord, who is it?" 13:26 Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. 13:27 After he received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "Do quickly what you are going to do." 13:28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 13:29 Some thought that, because Judas had the common purse, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the festival"; or, that he should give something to the poor. 13:30 So, after receiving the piece of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.
