     05/10 - GospeL Verses 

(On the eve of his crucifixion..) 20 - When it was evening he reclined at table for a (last) supper with the twelve. 21 And as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me.” 22 And they were very sorrowful when he said that, and they began to say to him one by one, “Is it I, Lord?”

     23 He answered them, “He who has dipped his bread in the dish with me will betray me. 24 The Son of Man goes as it’s written of him, but woe to the one who betrays him! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” {A cliche, Jesus knew his earthly end, and was prophesying.}

     25 Judas, who would betray him, said, “Is it I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “So you have said.”

     26 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it, broke it, passed it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat this, it is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he passed it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all, of you” {including the betrayer) 28 “for this is my blood of the covenant (treaty, accord, league, agreement) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” {Strong enough to appease eveRy conscience and psyche. Ps.40:6 - “Sacrifices are not what You want..”.} 29 “I tell you now, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
