unto you, one of you shall
betray me."

"Lord," said Andrew, "one of us twelve?"

"Yes," replied Jesus, "one of the twelve who dipped his hand in the
dish with me shall betray me. So the Scriptures shall be fulfilled.
He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me."

Thomas and Simon, speaking together with the same thought and same
words, asked, "Who can this faithless one be?" while Matthew said,
"Lord, thou seest all hearts, thou knowest that it is not I"--and the
two James cried, "Name him publicly, the traitor!" Then while these
words were on their lips, Judas, fearing lest his silence should be
observed, started forward and asked furtively, "Lord, is it I?" but
excepting by Jesus his words passed unnoticed.

Thaddeus exclaimed, "I would rather give my life for thee than that
such a deed should be done;" and Bartholomew, "I would rather sink into
the earth with shame."

Jesus, looking toward Judas said, "Thou hast said it." Turning to the
rest, Jesus continued, "The son of man goeth indeed as it is written of
him, but woe unto that man by whom the son of man is betrayed; better
were it for him that he had never been born!"

Peter, leaning over to John, whispered to him to ask Jesus who it was.
Then John whispered to Jesus, saying, "Lord, who is it?"

Jesus answered, speaking so low as to be heard by John alone, "He it is
to whom I shall give a sop after having dipped it."

The other apostles who had not heard this kept on asking, "Who can it
be?"

Jesus, taking a piece of bread, dipped it into a cup, and placed it in
the mouth of Judas, saying, "What thou doest, do quickly."

Then Judas arose and hurried from the room. The disciples seeing his
departure wondered among themselves, and Thomas said to Simon, "Why
does Judas go away?"

Simon replied, "Probably the master has sent him to buy something,"
while Thaddeus added, "Or to distribute alms to the poor."

Judas being now gone, Jesus spoke to the eleven, saying, "If God be
glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself and shall
straightway glorify him. Little children, yet a little while I am with
you. Ye shall seek me; but as I have said to the Jews, whither I go
you cannot come, even so now I say unto you."

Then said Peter unto him, "Lord, whither goest thou?"

Jesus answered, "Whither I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou
shalt follow me later."

Peter passionately cried, "Why can I not follow thee now?
