HOLY weekethey began to be sad, and to say to him severally, Is it I? 20Who said to them: One of the Twelve, he that dippeth with me his hand in the dish. 21and the Sonne of man indeed goeth, *Ps. 40, 10. as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Sonne of man shal be betrayed. It were good for him, if that man had not been borne. 22And Mt. 26, 26.
Luc. 21, 19.
I. Cor. 11, 24.* whiles they were eating, Jesus tooke ″ bread: and blessing brake, and gave to them, and said: Take, This is ″ my body. 23And taking the ″ chalice, giving thankes he gave to them. And they [1] al dranke of it. 24And he said to them: This is ″ my bloud of the new Testament, that shal be shed for many. 25Amen I say to you, that now I wil not drinke of the fruite [2] of the vine until that day when I shal drinke it new in the Kingdom of God. 26And an hymne being said, they went forth into Mount-olivet.
THURSDAY night.27And Jesus saith to them: You shal al be scandalized in me in this night: for it is written, Zac. 13, 7.I wil strike the Pastour, & the sheepe shal be dispersed. 28But after that I shal be risen againe, I wil goe before you into Galilee. 29And Peter said to him: Although al shal be scandalized: yet not I. 30And Jesus saith to him: Amen I say to thee, that thou this day in this night, before the cock crow twise, shalt thrise deny me. 31But he spake more vehemently: Although I should die together with thee, I wil not denie thee. And in like manner also said they al.
32And they come into a farme-place called Gethsemani. And he saith to his Disciples: Sit you here, until I pray. 33And he taketh Peter and James and John with him; and he began to feare and to be heavy. 34And he saith to them: My soul is sorowful even unto death; stay here, and watch. 35And when he was gone forward a litle, he fel flat upon the ground; and he prayed that if it might be, the houre might passe from him; 36and he said: Abba, Father, al things are possible to thee, transferre this chalice from me, but not that which I wil, but that which thou. 37And he commeth, and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? could thou not watch one houre? 38Watch ye, and pray that you enter not into tentation. The spirit indeed is prompt, but the flesh infirme. 39And going away againe, he prayed, saying the selfsame word. 40And returning, againe he found them asleep (for their eyes were heavy) and they wist not what they should answer him. 41And he commeth the third time, and saith to them: Sleep ye now, and take rest. It sufficeth: the houre is come; behold the Sonne of man shal be betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42Arise, let us goe. Behold, he that shal betray me, is at hand.
43And Mt. 26, 47.
Luc. 22, 47.
Jo. 18, 3.* as he was yet speaking, commeth Judas Iscariote one of the Twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the cheefe Priests and the Scribes and the Ancients. 44And the betrayer of him had given them a signe, saying: Whomsoever I shal kisse, it is he, lay hold on him, and lead him warily. 45And when he was come, immediatly going to him, he saith: Rabbi, and he kissed him. 46But they laid hands upon him, and held him. 47And one certaine man of the standers about drawing out a sword, smote the servant of the cheefe Priest, and cut of his eare. 48And Jesus answering,
- ↑ Al dranke, to wit, al the twelve; for more were not present. Whereby is evident that the words in S. Mat. (26, 27) Drinke ye al of this, were spoken to al the Apostles only, which here are said that they al did drinke. And so it is no general commandement to al men.
