An Examination of the Testimony of the Four Evangelists Part 40

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, 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.(261) 19 Now I tell you before it come, that when it is come to pa.s.s, 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.

21 And as they did eat, he 18 And as they sat, and did said, Verily I say unto you, eat, Jesus said, Verily I say That one of you shall betray unto you, One of you which me. eateth with me, shall betray me.

22 And they were exceeding 19 And they began to be sorrowful, and began every one sorrowful, and to say unto him of them to say unto him, Lord, one by one, _Is_ it I? and is it I? another _said_, _Is_ it I?

22 And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined: but wo unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom, one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

23 And they began to inquire 24 Simon Peter therefore among themselves, which of beckoned to him, that he them it was that should do should ask who it should be of this thing. whom he spake.

25 He then, lying on Jesus'

breast, saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

26 Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped _it_. 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 immediately out: and it was night.

31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and G.o.d is glorified in him.

32 If G.o.d be glorified in him, G.o.d 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.

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and 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_ scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.(264) 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors:(265) for the things concerning me have an end.

And he said unto them, It is enough.

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.
