So after he had washed their feet, Anno Joh. xiii, 12.and had taken his garments, and was let down again, he faid unto them, "Know ye what I have done to you? 13."

When Jefus had thus faid, he was troubled in fpirit, and teftified, and faid, Verily, verily Ifay unto you; that one 23.of you fhall betray me. Then the dif ciples looked one on another, doubting 23 of whom he fpake. Now there was leaning on Jefus bofom one of his dif 24-ciples, whom Jefus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckned to him, that he hould ask who it should be of whom

he had dipped the fop, he gave it to
Judas Iscariot, the fon of Simon. And 27.
after the fop, Satan entred into him.
Then faid Jefus unto him, That thou
doeft, do quickly.

Now no man at the table knew for 28.

For fome of them thought because Ju- 29.
das had the bag, that Jefus had faid un-
to him, Buy thofe things that we have
need of against the feaft: or that he
fhould give fomething to the poor.

He then having received the fop, 30.
went immediately out: and it was night.
Therefore when he was gone out, Jefus 31.
faid, "Now is the fon of man glori-
