3017
And when
Jesus
3018
finished all these sayings, he said unto his
disciples,
3019
Ye know that after
two days will be the passover, and the Son of man is delivered up to be
[3] crucified.
3020
Then gathered
together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders [4] of the
people, unto the court of the chief priest, who was called Caiaphas;
3021
and they took counsel together concerning
Jesus, that they might seize him by subtilty, and [5] kill him.
3022
But they said, Not during the feast, lest
there take place a disturbance among the people;
3023
for they feared the people.
[6]
3024
And Satan entered
into Judas who was called Iscariot, who was of the number [7] of the
twelve.
3025
And he went away,
and communed with the chief priests, and the scribes, and those that
held command in the temple, and said unto them, What [8] [Arabic, p.
167] would ye pay me, and I will deliver him unto you?
3026
And they, when they heard
it
, were
pleased, and made ready
3027
for him thirty
pieces
of money.
3028
[9]
3029
And he promised
3030
them, and from that time he sought an opportunity
3031
that he might deliver unto them Jesus
without the multitude.
[10]
3032
And on the first day
of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, and said unto him,
Where wilt thou that we go and make ready for thee that thou mayest eat
the passover?
[11]
3033
And before the feast
of the passover, Jesus knew that the hour was arrived for his departure
from this world unto his Father; and he loved his own in this world,
[12] and to the last he loved them.
3034
And
at the time of the feast, Satan put into the [13] heart of Judas, the
son of Simon Iscariot, to deliver him up.
3035
And Jesus, because he knew that the Father
had delivered into his hands everything, and that he came [14] forth
from the Father, and goeth unto God,
3036
rose from supper, and laid
aside
his
[15] garments;
3037
and took a towel,
and
girded his waist, and poured water into a bason, and began
to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe them with the towel
wherewith [16] his waist was girded.
3038
And
when he came to Simon Cephas, Simon said unto [17] him, Dost thou, my
Lord, wash for me my feet?
3039
Jesus answered
and said unto [18] him, What I do, now thou knowest not; but afterwards
thou shalt learn.
3040
Simon said unto him,
Thou shalt never wash for me my feet. Jesus said unto him, If I
[19] wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
3041
Simon Cephas said unto him, Then, my [20]
Lord, wash not for me my feet alone, but my hands also and my
head.
3042
Jesus said unto him,
He that batheth
3043
needeth not to wash
save his feet, whereas his whole [21]
body
is clean: and
ye also are clean, but not all of you.
3044
For
Jesus knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not
all clean.
[22] [Arabic, p. 168]
3045
So
when he had washed their feet, he took his garments, and sat down, and
[23] said unto them, Know ye what I have done unto you?
3046
Ye call me, Master, [24] and, Lord: and
ye say well; so I am.
3047
If then I, now, who
am your Lord and Master, have washed for you your feet, how needful is
it that ye should wash one another’s feet! [25]
3048
This have I given you as an example, that as
I have done to you so ye should do [26] also.
3049
Verily, verily, I say unto you, No servant is
greater than his lord; nor an [27] apostle greater than he that sent
him.
3050
If ye know that, ye
are happy if ye do it. [28]
3051
My saying
this
3052
is not for all of you: for I know whom
I have chosen: but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that
eateth with me bread lifted against me his
[29] heel.
3053
Henceforth I say unto you before it come to
pass, that, when it cometh to [30] pass, ye may believe that I am
he
.
3054
Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Whosoever receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and
whosoever receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
[31]
3055
Who is the great
one
, he that sitteth, or he that serveth? is it not he that
sitteth? [32]
3056
I am among you as he
that serveth.
3057
But ye are they that
have continued with me [33] in my temptations;
3058
I
promise
3059
you, as my Father
promised
3060
me, the kingdom,
that ye may eat and drink at the table of my kingdom.
[34]
3061
And the first
day
3062
came, the feast of unleavened bread, on
which the Jews were [35] wont
3063
to
sacrifice
3064
the passover.
3065
And Jesus sent two of his disciples, Cephas
and John, and said unto them, Go and make ready for us the passover,
that we may eat. [36, 37]
3066
And they said
unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee?
3067
He said unto them, Go, enter the city;
3068
and at the time of your entering, there shall
meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water;
3069
follow him, and the place where he entereth,
say [38] to such an one, the master of the house,
3070
Our Master saith, My time is come, and
[Arabic, p. 169] at thy
house
I keep the passover.
3071
Where then is the lodging-place where [39] I
shall eat with my disciples?
3072
And he will
shew you a large upper room [40] spread and made ready:
3073
there then make ready for us.
3074
And his two disciples went out, and came to
the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready
the passover as he had said unto them.
[41]
3075
And when the evening
was come, and the time arrived, Jesus came and reclined, [42] and the
twelve apostles with him.
3076
And he said
unto them, With desire I have [43] desired to eat this passover with
you before I suffer:
3077
I say unto you, that
henceforth I shall not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of
God.
[44]
3078
Jesus said that, and
was agitated
3079
in his spirit, and
testified, and said, Verily, [45] verily, I say unto you, One of you,
he
that eateth with me, shall betray me.
3080
And they were very sorrowful; and they began
to say unto him, one after another of [46] them, Can it be I,
Lord?
3081
He answered and said
unto them, One of the twelve, [47] he that dippeth his hand with me in
the dish, will betray me.
3082
And lo, the
hand of [48] him that betrayeth me is on the table.
3083
And the Son of man goeth, as it is written of
him: woe then to that man by whose hand the Son of man is
betrayed! for it [49] would have been better for that man had he not
been born.
3084
And the disciples
[50] looked one on another, for they knew not to whom he referred;
3085
and they began to search among themselves,
who that might be who was to do
this
