Christ Announces Judas, the Betrayer

Matt. 26:21, 22; Mark 14:18, 19; Luke 22:21–23

21 yWhen Jesus had said these things, zHe was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, aone of you will betray Me.” 22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

23 Now bthere was 4leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

25 Then, leaning 5back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to cJudas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 dNow after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him. 29 For some thought, because eJudas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

Christ Announces His Departure

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, f“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and gGod is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and hglorify Him immediately. 33 Little children, I shall be with you a ilittle while longer. You will seek Me; jand as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. 34 kA new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 lBy this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Christ Foretells Peter’s Denial

Matt. 26:34, 35; Mark 14:30, 31; Luke 22:33, 34

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?”

Jesus answered him, “Where I mam going you cannot follow Me now, but nyou shall follow Me afterward.”

37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will olay down my life for Your sake.”

38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not pcrow till you have denied Me three times.
