John 13:27

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "John 13:27 "What you are going to do, do quickly."(ESV).  Why does Jesus say this? I would imagine a human being saying something along the lines of "Please Don't do that." But Jesus is doing the opposite, he is giving authority to betray him. Is this this to fulfill the Scriptures?
Then you have Judas which betrays Jesus on His authority, so in that sense, he isn't betraying him, but taking orders. 
I'm posting this for my understanding, and others as God sees fit. This is not to confuse anyone in there faith.  Please, if at all possible, use scripture to back up views."

 

In other words--get on with it already, betrayer.

"Jn 13:27. Then (τότε). With a peculiar emphasis, marking the decisive point at which Judas was finally committed to his dark deed. The token of good-will which Jesus had offered, if it did not soften his heart would harden it; and Judas appears to have so interpreted it as to confirm him in his purpose.

Satan. The only occurrence of the word in this Gospel.

Into him (εἰς ἐκεῖνον). The pronoun of remote reference sets Judas apart from the company of the disciples.

Quickly (τάχιον). Lit., more quickly. The comparative implies a command to hasten his work, which was already begun." Vincent, M. R. (1887). Word studies in the New Testament (Vol. 2, pp. 233–234). New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons.

It will please God to ruin and destroy Judas spirits (Deut 28:63).
