For there was a dish of sauce on the table, and Jesus dipped his bread
in it, and as he dipped it one of the disciples put his hand in the
dish too. Which was it?
Judas: he dipped his bread in the dish with Jesus. So John knew which
it was that was so wicked.
Then Jesus said to Judas, Go, and do what you mean to do.
And Judas got up and went out of the room.
Where did he go?
He went to the wicked people, to bring them to Jesus in the dark. But
the disciples thought he was going to buy something at a shop, or to
give money to the poor.
One night the Saviour said,
“My hours to live are few:
I soon shall be betray’d,
My friends, by one of you.”
“Lord, is it I?”
They all do cry.
Beloved above the rest,
John lean’d his gentle head
Upon the Saviour’s breast,
And, softly whisp’ring, said,
“Lord, tell me who
This thing shall do?”
“One of this little band,”
The Saviour, answ’ring, said,
“Will hither reach his hand,
And dip with me his bread.
Who dips with me,
The same is he.”
LESSON XXXIV.
THE LAST SUPPER—PART III.
MATTHEW, xxvi. 26-36. JOHN, xiv. 1-4; xviii. 1-3.
AFTER supper Jesus took some bread and broke it in little bits, and
gave a piece to each of the disciples, and said, This is my body: I am
going to die: eat this, and think of me.
Then Jesus poured some wine into a cup, and told them all to drink out
of it. He said, This is my blood; I shall soon bleed and die; drink
this, and think of me.
Jesus said, I shall not eat supper with you again before I die. I am
going to my Father; I must leave you, but I shall come back again.
Then they all sang a hymn.
Afterward Jesus got up from the table and went down stairs into the
street, and the disciples followed him. It was dark; but Jesus talked
to them as they went along. He said, I am going to die to-night, and
you will all leave me.
But Peter said, I will not leave you; I will go to prison with you; I
will die with you; but I will never leave you.
Jesus said to him, Yes, you will, Peter; you will say that you do not
know me; you will say that you are not my friend. This night, Peter,
you will say so, before the cock crows. (For cocks crow in the morning
when it is light.)
Jesus talked sweetly to his disciples. He said, Do not be sorry because
I am going away. I shall go back to my Father, and I shall soon come
back to you. When I am in heaven, I shall get ready a place in heaven
for you. I command you to love one another, and I will send the Holy
Spirit to comfort you.
At last Jesus came to a garden. He had often been to that garden with
his disciples, and wicked Judas knew the place.
Where was Judas now?
He was with the wicked, proud men.
You will soon hear how he came to the garden, and how he brought the
_servants_ of the wicked men with him. For these wicked men meant to
send their servants to catch Jesus.
