John 13:2 reads as follows;  KAI DEIPNOU GINOMENOU, TOU DIABOLOU HDH BEBLHKOTOS EIS THN KARDIAN hINA PARADOI AUTON IOUDAS SIMWNOS ISCARIWTHS,
 The way I understand it, KAI DEIPNOU is a genitive absolute construction.
What about DIABOLOU HDH BEBLHKOTOS? Is it a genitive absolute as well? And if so, does EIS THN KARDIAN belong to this genitive absolute even though it is not in the genitive case? If it does not belong to it but to what follows, then why is IOUDAS not in the genitive to indicate that it is Judas' heart? 
Thank you in advance,
Bert de Haan.
