Why did Jesus expose Judas as His betrayer in the upper room?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus exposed Judas to affirm His divinity and fulfill prophecy.

Jesus' decision to expose Judas as the betrayer served a dual purpose. Firstly, in John 13:19, He reveals this knowledge to confirm His divine omniscience; He knows the hearts and intents of men. This revelation reassures the disciples of His identity as the Messiah and the fulfillment of Scripture. Furthermore, it fulfills the prophecies regarding betrayal found in the Old Testament, as indicated in Psalm 41:9. The act serves to emphasize the seriousness of Judas' actions and prepares the disciples for the events leading to the crucifixion, demonstrating that even the betrayal is part of God's sovereign plan for redemption.
