Contention among the Twelve. - JERUSALEM. MATT. XXVI. 20. Evening introducing the Sixth Day of the Week. OW when the even Now was come, he sat down with the twelve. MARK XIV. 17. LUKE XXII. 14-18. 24–30. (14) And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. (15) And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: (16) for I say unto you, I will not 3 any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. (17) And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: (18) for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 6 8 (24) And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. (25) And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. (26) But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. (27) For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am 9 among you as he that serveth. (28) Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. (29) And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; (30) that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. § 134. Jesus washes the Feet of his Disciples. — JERUSALEM. Evening introducing the Sixth Day of the Week. JOHN XIII. 1-20. (1) Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. (2) And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; (3) Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; (4) he riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. (5) After that he poureth 1 20. was sitting at meat 2 14. Omit twelve 8 16. eat it, 4 17. received a cup 7 25. Benefactors 8 26. become 27. in the midst of JOHN XIII. water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. (6) Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? (7) Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt 1 know hereafter. (8) Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. (9) Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. (10) Jesus saith to him, He that is 2 washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit and ye are clean, but not all. (11) For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 3 (12) So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? (13) Ye call me Master, and Lord and ye say well; for so I am. (14) If I then, 3 your Lord 4 and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. (15) For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. (16) Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. (17) If ye know these things, 5 happy are ye if ye do them. (18) I speak not of you all I know whom I have chosen but that the scripture may be fulfilled," He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. (19) Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. (20) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. § 135. Jesus points out the Traitor. Judas withdraws. — JERUSALEM. of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. LUKE XXII. (21) But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. (23) And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. JOHN XIII. 21-35. (21) When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in 8 spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. (22) Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. (23) Now there was 10 leaning on Jesus' bosom one (24) Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, 11that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. (25) 12 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? (26) Jesus answered, He it is, 18 to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. Tell us who it is of whom he speaketh. 12 25. He leaning back, as he was, on 13 26. for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. shall betray me. (24) The LUKE XXII. (22) 1 And truly the Son of man 3 goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! JOHN XIII. (26) And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. (27) And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. (28) Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. (29) For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. (30) He then having received the sop went 9 immediately out and it was night. (31) Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. (32) 10 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. (33) Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me : and, as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come, so now I say to you. (34) A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. MATT. XXVI. 1 for the remission of sins. (29) But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. MARK XIV. which is shed for many. (25) Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. [§ 137.] Jesus foretells the Fall of Peter, and the Dispersion of the Twelve. -JERU SALEM. Evening introducing the Sixth Day of the Week. JOHN XIII. 36-38. (36) Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. (37) Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for 5 thy sake. MATT. XXVI. 31-35. (31) Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night for it is written," I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. (32) But after I am 8 risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. (33) Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. MARK XIV. 27-31. ye (27) And Jesus saith unto them, All shall be offended because of me this night for it is written," I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. (28) But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. (29) But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. LUKE XXII. 31-38. (31) 9 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: (32) but I 10 have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when 11 thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. (33) And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison and to death. MATT. XXVI. (34) Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. (35) Peter said unto him, Though I 18 should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. MARK XIV. LUKE XXII. (34) And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest (30) And Jesus Likewise also said all the disciples. me. JOHN XIII. (38) Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for 12 my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice. will not deny thee 14 in any wise. LUKE XXII. (35) And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and 15 scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. (36) Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his 15 scrip: and he 1 28. unto remission 2 24. no more drink 3 24. when 36. Omit me 5 37. thee 6 27.

Evening introducing the Sixth Day of the Week. JOHN XIV. 1-31. (1) Let not your heart be troubled ye believe in God, believe also in me. (2) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. 4I go to prepare a place for you. (3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (4) And whither I 5 go ye know, and the way ye know. (5) Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can ye know the way? (6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (7) If ye had known me, ye 6 should have known my Father also and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 7 8 (8) Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. (9) Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? (10) Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (11) Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me or else believe me for the very works' sake. (12) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto 9 my Father. (13) And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (14) If ye shall 10 ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 11 : (15) If ye love me, keep my commandments. (16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another 12Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (17) even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him but ye know him; for he 18 dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (18) I will not leave you 14 comfortless: I will come to you. (19) Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me because I live, ye shall live also. (20) At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (21) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (22) Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? (23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my 15 words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (24) He that loveth me not keepeth not my 16 sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. (25) These things have I spoken unto 17 you, being yet present with you. (26) But the 12 Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever |
