Lesson 5287

 (Lesson 5287)(07-28-26) Mark 14:17-21 

   “And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.” 

 

    Today’s quote relates that during the Passover meal with His twelve disciples, Jesus revealed that one of them would betray Him to His death. Distressed, some of the apostles asked if one of them would be the traitor. Jesus confirmed it was someone close sharing food at His table, warning that while His death fulfilled divine prophecy, the person who betrayed Him would face his own tragic judgment. ~
