[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.

Section XLV.
[1, 2] [Arabic, p. 170] [3086] And one of his disciples was sitting [3087] in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved. [3088] To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, concerning [3] whom he spake. [3089] And that disciple leaned [3090] on Jesus' breast, and said unto him, [4] My Lord, who is this? [3091] Jesus answered and said, He to whom I shall dip bread, and give it. And Jesus dipped bread, and gave to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. [5] [3092] And after the bread, Satan entered him. And Jesus said unto him, What thou [6] desirest to do, hasten the doing of it. [3093] And no man of them that sat knew why he [7] said this unto him. [3094] And some of them thought, because Judas had the box, that he was bidding him buy what would be needed for the feast; or, that he might pay [8] something to the poor. [3095] Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I, my [9] Master? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said. [3096] And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without: and it was still night.
[10] [3097] And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified, [3098] and God is being glorified [3099] [11] in him; [3100] and if God is glorified in him, God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him.
[12] [3101] And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided; [3102] and he [13] gave to his disciples, and said unto them, Take and eat; this is my body. [3103] And he [Arabic, p. 171] took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, [3104] and said, Take [14, 15] and drink of it, all of you. [3105] And they drank of it, all of them. [3106] And he said unto them, [3107] This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the [16] forgiveness of sins. [3108] I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink [3109] with you new wine in the kingdom of [17] God. [3110] And thus do ye in remembrance of me. [3111] And Jesus said unto Simon, Simon, [18] behold, Satan asketh that he may sift you like wheat: [3112] but I entreat [3113] for thee, that thou lose not thy faith: [3114] and do thou, at some time, turn [3115] and strengthen thy brethren.
[19] [3116] My children, another little while am I with you. And ye shall seek me: and as [20] I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; I say unto you now also. [3117] A new commandment I give you, that ye may love one another; and as I have loved [21] you, so shall ye also love one another. [3118] By this shall every man know that ye are [22] my disciples, if ye have love one to another. [3119] Simon Cephas said unto him, Our Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered and said unto him, Whither I go, thou canst not now follow me; but later thou shalt come.
[23] [3120] Then said Jesus unto them, Ye all shall desert [3121] me this night: [3122] it is written, I [24] will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. [3123] But after my [25] rising, I shall go before you into Galilee. [3124] Simon Cephas answered and said unto [26] him, My Lord, if every man desert thee, I shall at no time desert thee. [3125] I am with thee ready for imprisonment and for death. [3126] And my life will I give up for thee. [27] [Arabic, p. 172] [3127] Jesus said unto him, Wilt thou give up thy life for me? [3128] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Thou shalt to-day, during this night, before the cock crow [28] twice, three times deny me, that thou knowest me not. [3129] But Cephas said the more, [3130] Even if it lead to [3131] death with thee, I shall not deny thee, my Lord. And in like manner said all the disciples also.
