Lord who is going to betray you

Men would recline on the couches, but women would not dine in the same room, unless with their own families. Each person would recline slightly behind the person to his right; thus, John could lean his head back, and be even with Jesus' chest. This beloved disciple at the right hand of Jesus, had one of the most honored positions at the feast.

Some commentators think Judas may have been on Jesus' left, the second most honored position. The Apostle John's vivid account could have only come from an eyewitness. It is generally accepted that John is the one described here, as "the one whom Jesus loved. Verse "So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, "Lord, who is it?

The dipping of the piece of bread and the offering of it to Judas was a gesture of honor, which many regarded as a final appeal to Judas, the Betrayer. Verse "Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him.

Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly. Verse "Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

And it was night. Once again, the disciples failed to understand. They thought that since Judas was the treasurer, he had gone to buy food, or to give money to the poor. Some also thought that doing charitable work before Passover would secure God's favor. It would not have been customary to go outside on Passover night Ex , but in John's narrations, Passover apparently began the following day.

The rest of this chapter is the prelude to the "Farewell Discourses," in Chapters 14 - Now that Judas had gone to set up his betrayal of Jesus, God's plan of salvation for the entire world had been set in motion. The following scriptures reveal the extraordinary way Jesus faced the cross. Verse "Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, 'Where I am going you cannot come. Teachers sometimes called their disciples, "children," and disciples called teachers, "my father.

Verse "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. The Law already required the highest devotion to God, but here, Jesus commands the disciples to love one another.

His new commandment set a new standard: "As I have loved you," Jesus loved them, and the rest of the world, to the point of laying down His life. We sometimes offer external manifestations of Christ in our lives as proof of our faith; but Christ directs us to something that cannot be duplicated without His power, which is to love the way He loved, unconditionally! In fact, Christ loved Judas, even though He was aware that he was His betrayer. Jesus went to the cross so that we could be cleansed of guilt, shame, and wrath.

This love is not normal in a world that places itself first. Because of His love, Jesus allowed Himself to be sacrificed. Jesus Christ has purged us from all sin.

Chapter 21 Christ appears to his disciples. It is good for the disciples of Christ to be together in common conversation, and common business. The hour for their entering upon action was not come.

They would help to maintain themselves, and not be burdensome to any. Christ's time of making himself known to his people, is when they are most at a loss.

He knows the temporal wants of his people, and has promised them not only grace sufficient, but food convenient. Divine Providence extends itself to things most minute, and those are happy who acknowledge God in all their ways. Those who are humble, diligent, and patient, though their labours may be crossed, shall be crowned; they sometimes live to see their affairs take a happy turn, after many struggles. And there is nothing lost by observing Christ's orders; it is casting the net on the right side of the ship.

Jesus manifests himself to his people by doing that for them which none else can do, and things which they looked not for. He would take care that those who left all for him, should not want any good thing. And latter favours are to bring to mind former favours, that eaten bread may not be forgotten. He whom Jesus loved was the first that said, It is the Lord. John had cleaved most closely to his Master in his sufferings, and knew him soonest. Peter was the most zealous, and reached Christ the first.

How variously God dispenses his gifts, and what difference there may be between some believers and others in the way of their honouring Christ, yet they all may be accepted of him! Others continue in the ship, drag the net, and bring the fish to shore, and such persons ought not to be blamed as worldly; for they, in their places, are as truly serving Christ as the others.

The Lord Jesus had provision ready for them. We need not be curious in inquiring whence this came; but we may be comforted at Christ's care for his disciples. Although there were so many, and such great fishes, yet they lost none, nor damaged their net.

The net of the gospel has enclosed multitudes, yet it is as strong as ever to bring souls to God. Verses Our Lord addressed Peter by his original name, as if he had forfeited that of Peter through his denying him. He now answered, Thou knowest that I love thee; but without professing to love Jesus more than others. We must not be surprised to have our sincerity called into question, when we ourselves have done that which makes it doubtful. Every remembrance of past sins, even pardoned sins, renews the sorrow of a true penitent.

Conscious of integrity, Peter solemnly appealed to Christ, as knowing all things, even the secrets of his heart. It is well when our falls and mistakes make us more humble and watchful. The sincerity of our love to God must be brought to the test; and it behoves us to inquire with earnest, preserving prayer to the heart-searching God, to examine and prove us, whether we are able to stand this test.

No one can be qualified to feed the sheep and lambs of Christ, who does not love the good Shepherd more than any earthly advantage or object.

It is the great concern of every good man, whatever death he dies, to glorify God in it; for what is our chief end but this, to die to the Lord, at the word of the Lord?

Verses Sufferings, pains, and death, will appear formidable even to the experienced Christian; but in the hope to glorify God, to leave a sinful world, and to be present with his Lord, he becomes ready to obey the Redeemer's call, and to follow Him through death to glory. It is the will of Christ that his disciples should mind their own duty, and not be curious about future events, either as to themselves or others. Many things we are apt to be anxious about, which are nothing to us.

Other people's affairs are nothing to us, to intermeddle in; we must quietly work, and mind our own business. Many curious questions are put about the counsels of God, and the state of the unseen world, as to which we may say, What is this to us? And if we attend to the duty of following Christ, we shall find neither heart nor time to meddle with that which does not belong to us.

How little are any unwritten traditions to be relied upon! Let the Scripture be its own interpreter, and explain itself; as it is, in a great measure, its own evidence, and proves itself, for it is light. See the easy setting right such mistakes by the word of Christ. Scripture language is the safest channel for Scripture truth; the words which the Holy Ghost teaches, 1Co.

Those who cannot agree in the same terms of art, and the application of them, may yet agree in the same Scripture terms, and to love one another.

Verse 25 Only a small part of the actions of Jesus had been written. But let us bless God for all that is in the Scriptures, and be thankful that there is so much in so small a space.

Enough is recorded to direct our faith, and regulate our practice; more would have been unnecessary. Much of what is written is overlooked, much forgotten, and much made the matter of doubtful disputes. We may, however, look forward to the joy we shall receive in heaven, from a more complete knowledge of all Jesus did and said, as well as of the conduct of his providence and grace in his dealings with each of us. May this be our happiness. When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.

They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth. Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus' breast at the supper and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?

The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed! As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me--he who eats with me.

For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born. He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whoever I will kiss, that is he.

Seize him, and lead him away safely. As they were eating, he said, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me. The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed!

Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It isn't me, is it, Rabbi? Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whoever I kiss, he is the one.

Seize him. Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,. You see to it.
