Lesson 314

(Lesson 314)(06-22-12) John 13:18-27,"I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly."

In this lesson Jesus tells His Apostles that one of them has been chosen to betray Him. After they ask who, Jesus names Judas Iscariot by passing the sop to him.
Each of the gospels give a slightly different account of this last Passover meal but there is ample similarity to prove beyond a doubt that it happened.

Jesus told Judas to do what he had to do "quickly", knowing that that night would be His last before He was to be sacrificed for the sins of the entire world.~~
