When he had said these things, Jesus was greatly distressed in spirit,
and testified, "I tell you the solemn truth, one of you will betray me."
The disciples began to look at one another, worried and perplexed to
know which of them he was talking about. One of his disciples, the one
Jesus loved, was at the table at Jesus’ right in the place of honor.
So Simon Peter gestured to this disciple to ask Jesus who it was he was
referring to. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved leaned back against
Jesus’ chest and asked him, "Lord, who is it?" Jesus replied, "It is

box, Jesus was telling him to buy whatever they needed for the feast, or
to give something to the poor.) Judas took the piece of bread and went
out immediately. Now it was night.

the last scene between our Lord Jesus Christ and the false Apostle Judas
Iscariot. They contain the last words which passed between them before
they parted forever in this world. They never seem to have met again on
earth, excepting in the garden when our Lord was taken prisoner. Within
a short time both the holy Master and the treacherous servant were dead.
They will never meet again in the body until the trumpet sounds, and the
dead are raised, and the judgment is set, and the books are opened. What
an dreadful meeting will that be!

Let us mark, firstly, in this passage, what trouble our Lord Jesus went
through for the sake of our souls. We are told that shortly after
washing the disciples\
