John 6:70-1964 in the Bible in Basic English reads: “Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One? He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.”

John 6:70-1964 is found in the New Testament, in the book of John, chapter 6, verses 70–1964.

John is traditionally attributed to John the Apostle, son of Zebedee. It was written c. AD 85–95.

John's Gospel opens not in Bethlehem but "in the beginning," declaring Jesus to be the eternal Word made flesh. Through seven sign-miracles and seven "I AM" sayings, it presents Jesus as the bread, the light, the way, and the resurrection — that we might believe and have life in his name.

John explores themes including Word Made Flesh, Belief, Eternal Life, I AM, Love. These themes shape the meaning and context of John 6:70-1964.
