00:00:00.919 --> 00:00:03.700
Hello, this is Father Paul, and I'm glad we're

00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:05.740
taking this journey together to read the Bible

00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:08.900
in a year. Today's reading is from the Gospel

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:12.259
of Mark, Chapter 14, the Gospel of Luke, Chapter

00:00:12.259 --> 00:00:16.640
22, and the Gospel of John, Chapter 13. Mark,

00:00:16.820 --> 00:00:21.399
Chapter 14. After two days it was the Passover

00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.039
and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief

00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.600
priests and the scribes sought how they might

00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.710
take him by trickery and put him to death. but

00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:32.210
they said not during the feast lest there be

00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:34.810
an uproar of the people and being in bethany

00:00:34.810 --> 00:00:37.750
at the house of simon the leper as he sat at

00:00:37.750 --> 00:00:41.049
the table a woman came having in a lepaster flask

00:00:41.049 --> 00:00:44.450
a very costly oil of spikenard then she broke

00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:47.409
the flask and poured it on his head but there

00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:49.869
were some who were indignant among themselves

00:00:49.869 --> 00:00:53.710
and said why was this fragrant oil wasted for

00:00:53.710 --> 00:00:55.969
it might have been sold for more than three hundred

00:00:55.969 --> 00:00:58.640
denarii and given to the poor and they criticized

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.579
her sharply. But Jesus said, Let her alone. Why

00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:05.180
do you trouble her? She has done a good work

00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:07.719
for me. For you have the poor with you always,

00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:10.659
and whenever you wish, you may do them good.

00:01:10.939 --> 00:01:14.620
But me you do not have always. She has done what

00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:17.260
she could. She has come beforehand to anoint

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:20.159
my body for burial. Assuredly, I say to you,

00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:22.599
wherever this gospel is preached in the whole

00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.359
world, what this woman has done will also be

00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.790
told as a memorial to her. Then Judas Iscariot,

00:01:28.909 --> 00:01:31.250
one of the twelve, went to the chief priests

00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:33.950
to betray him to them. And when they heard it,

00:01:34.010 --> 00:01:36.250
they were glad and promised to give him money.

00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:39.709
So he sought how he might conveniently betray

00:01:39.709 --> 00:01:42.349
him. Now on the first day of unleavened bread,

00:01:42.609 --> 00:01:45.209
when they killed the Passover lamb, his disciples

00:01:45.209 --> 00:01:47.769
said to him, Where do you want us to go and prepare

00:01:47.769 --> 00:01:50.670
that you may eat the Passover? And he sent out

00:01:50.670 --> 00:01:53.430
two of his disciples and said to them, Go into

00:01:53.430 --> 00:01:55.870
the city, and a man will meet you carrying a

00:01:55.870 --> 00:02:14.500
pitcher of water. So his disciples went out and

00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:17.259
came into the city, and found it just as he had

00:02:17.259 --> 00:02:19.699
said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:23.439
In the evening he came with the twelve. Now as

00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.770
they sat and ate, Jesus said, Assuredly I say

00:02:26.770 --> 00:02:29.650
to you, one of you who eats with me will betray

00:02:29.650 --> 00:02:32.430
me. And they began to be sorrowful and to say

00:02:32.430 --> 00:02:35.430
to him one by one, Is it I? And another said,

00:02:35.689 --> 00:02:38.909
Is it I? He answered and said to them, It is

00:02:38.909 --> 00:02:41.789
one of the twelve who dips with me in a dish.

00:02:42.150 --> 00:02:45.330
The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written

00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:48.110
of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of

00:02:48.110 --> 00:02:50.629
Man is betrayed. It would have been good for

00:02:50.629 --> 00:02:54.199
that man if he had never been born. And as they

00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.099
were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke

00:02:57.099 --> 00:03:00.020
it, and gave it to them and said, Take, eat,

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.419
this is my body. Then he took the cup, and when

00:03:03.419 --> 00:03:05.979
he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and

00:03:05.979 --> 00:03:08.400
they all drank from it. And he said to them,

00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.199
This is my blood, of the new covenant, which

00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:14.340
is shed for many. Assuredly I say to you, I will

00:03:14.340 --> 00:03:16.979
no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until

00:03:16.979 --> 00:03:19.819
that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of

00:03:19.819 --> 00:03:22.680
God. And when they had sung a hymn, They went

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.599
out to the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus said to

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:53.780
them, you will deny me three times. But he spoke

00:03:53.780 --> 00:03:57.280
more vehemently, If I have to die with you, I

00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.719
will not deny you. And they all said likewise.

00:04:00.419 --> 00:04:03.819
Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane.

00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:06.639
And he said to his disciples, Sit here while

00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.520
I pray. And he took Peter, James, and John with

00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.139
him, and he began to be troubled and deeply distressed.

00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:15.039
Then he said to them, My soul is exceedingly

00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.100
sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.

00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.939
He went a little farther and fell on the ground

00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:24.060
and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour

00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:27.040
might pass from him. And he said, Abba, Father,

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.279
all things are possible for you. Take this cup

00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.379
away from me. Nevertheless, not what I will,

00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:36.439
but what you will. Then he came and found them

00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.139
sleeping and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping?

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.500
Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray,

00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:45.660
lest you enter into temptation. The spirit is

00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:48.709
indeed willing, but the flesh is weak. Again

00:04:48.709 --> 00:04:51.250
he went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.

00:04:51.449 --> 00:04:54.170
And when he returned, he found them asleep again,

00:04:54.370 --> 00:04:57.110
for their eyes were heavy, and they did not know

00:04:57.110 --> 00:05:00.129
what to answer him. Then he came the third time,

00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:02.470
and said to them, Are you still sleeping and

00:05:02.470 --> 00:05:06.110
resting? It is enough, the hour has come. Behold,

00:05:06.230 --> 00:05:09.170
the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands

00:05:09.170 --> 00:05:13.850
of sinners. Rise, let us be going. See, my betrayer

00:05:13.850 --> 00:05:17.050
is at hand. And immediately, while he was still

00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:19.970
speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great

00:05:19.970 --> 00:05:22.709
multitude with swords and clubs, came from the

00:05:22.709 --> 00:05:24.689
chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

00:05:25.050 --> 00:05:27.709
Now his betrayer had given them a signal, saying,

00:05:28.009 --> 00:05:31.790
Whomever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him and

00:05:31.790 --> 00:05:34.509
lead him away safely. As soon as he had come,

00:05:34.649 --> 00:05:37.069
immediately he went up to him and said to him,

00:05:37.230 --> 00:05:40.269
Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him. Then they laid

00:05:40.269 --> 00:05:43.189
their hands on him and took him. And one of those

00:05:43.189 --> 00:05:46.220
who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant

00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:49.120
of the high priest and cut off his ear. Then

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.600
Jesus answered and said to them, Have you come

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.959
out as against a robber with swords and clubs

00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.480
to take me? I was daily with you in the temple

00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.300
teaching and you did not seize me, but the scriptures

00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:03.439
must be fulfilled. Then they all forsook him

00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.379
and fled. Now a certain young man followed him,

00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:08.980
having a linen cloth thrown around his naked

00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:12.100
body. And a young man laid hold of him. And he

00:06:12.100 --> 00:06:14.720
left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.019
And they led Jesus away to the high priest. And

00:06:18.019 --> 00:06:20.220
with him were assembled all the chief priests,

00:06:20.459 --> 00:06:23.120
the elders, and the scribes. But Peter followed

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.000
him at a distance, right into the courtyard of

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.540
the high priest. And he sat with the servants

00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:31.480
and warned himself at the fire. Now the chief

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.699
priests and all the council sought testimony

00:06:33.699 --> 00:06:36.660
against Jesus to put him to death, but found

00:06:36.660 --> 00:06:39.500
none. For many bore false witness against him.

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.660
but their testimonies did not agree. Then some

00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:45.579
rose up and bore false witness against him, saying,

00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.620
We heard him say, I will destroy this temple

00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:51.259
made with hands, and within three days I will

00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:54.600
build another made without hands. But not even

00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.100
then did their testimony agree. And the high

00:06:58.100 --> 00:07:00.160
priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus,

00:07:00.259 --> 00:07:03.439
saying, Do you answer nothing? What is it these

00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.439
men testify against you? But he kept silent and

00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.720
answered nothing. Again the high priest asked

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.680
him, saying to him, Are you the Christ, the Son

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.500
of the Blessed? Jesus said, I am. And you will

00:07:15.500 --> 00:07:18.240
see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.839
of the power and coming with the clouds of heaven.

00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:23.560
Then the high priest tore his clothes and said,

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.560
What further need do we have of witnesses? You

00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.860
have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?

00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:31.680
And they all condemned him to be deserving of

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.720
death. Then some began to spit on him and to

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.319
blindfold him and to beat him and to say to him,

00:07:37.379 --> 00:07:40.279
Prophesy. And the officers struck him with the

00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.220
palms of their hands. Now as Peter was below

00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:45.980
in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of

00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:48.300
the high priest came. And when she saw Peter

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:50.560
warming himself, she looked at him and said,

00:07:50.779 --> 00:07:53.699
You also were with Jesus of Nazareth. But he

00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:56.319
denied it, saying, I neither know nor understand

00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.199
what you are saying. And he went out on the porch,

00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.899
and a rooster crowed. And the servant girls saw

00:08:01.899 --> 00:08:04.300
him again, and began to say to those who stood

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:07.420
by, This is one of them. But he denied it again.

00:08:08.029 --> 00:08:10.709
And a little later, those who stood by said to

00:08:10.709 --> 00:08:13.430
Peter again, Surely you are one of them, for

00:08:13.430 --> 00:08:16.069
you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.

00:08:16.230 --> 00:08:18.970
Then he began to curse and swear, I do not know

00:08:18.970 --> 00:08:22.269
this man of whom you speak. A second time the

00:08:22.269 --> 00:08:24.689
rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the

00:08:24.689 --> 00:08:27.129
word that Jesus had said to him, Before the rooster

00:08:27.129 --> 00:08:30.730
crows twice, you will deny me three times. And

00:08:30.730 --> 00:08:39.460
when he thought about it, he wept. Now the feast

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:42.139
of unleavened bread drew near, which is called

00:08:42.139 --> 00:08:45.019
Passover, and the chief priests and the scribes

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:47.500
sought how they might kill him, for they feared

00:08:47.500 --> 00:08:50.559
the people. Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed

00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.779
Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.

00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:55.559
So he went his way and conferred with the chief

00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.200
priests and captains how he might betray him

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.740
to them, and they were glad and agreed to give

00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:03.029
him money. So he promised and sought opportunity

00:09:03.029 --> 00:09:06.090
to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.

00:09:06.669 --> 00:09:09.350
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the

00:09:09.350 --> 00:09:12.529
Passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and

00:09:12.529 --> 00:09:15.250
John, saying, Go and prepare the Passover for

00:09:15.250 --> 00:09:18.450
us, that we may eat. So they said to him, Where

00:09:18.450 --> 00:09:20.769
do you want us to prepare? And he said to them,

00:09:20.850 --> 00:09:23.789
Behold, when you have entered the city, a man

00:09:23.789 --> 00:09:26.690
will meet you carrying a pitcher of water. Follow

00:09:26.690 --> 00:09:29.250
him into the house which he enters. Then you

00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:31.789
shall say to the master of the house, The teacher

00:09:31.789 --> 00:09:34.629
says to you, Where is the guest room where I

00:09:34.629 --> 00:09:37.350
may eat the Passover with my disciples? Then

00:09:37.350 --> 00:09:39.750
he will show you a large furnished upper room

00:09:39.750 --> 00:09:42.870
there, make ready. So they went and found it

00:09:42.870 --> 00:09:45.230
just as he had said to them, and they prepared

00:09:45.230 --> 00:09:48.090
the Passover. When the hour had come, he sat

00:09:48.090 --> 00:09:51.169
down and the twelve apostles with him. Then he

00:09:51.169 --> 00:09:54.090
said to them, With fervent desire, I have desired

00:09:54.090 --> 00:09:56.669
to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

00:09:56.830 --> 00:10:00.169
For I say to you, I will no longer... Eat of

00:10:00.169 --> 00:10:02.889
it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

00:10:03.110 --> 00:10:05.830
Then he took the cup and gave thanks and said,

00:10:05.990 --> 00:10:09.090
Take this and divide it among yourselves. For

00:10:09.090 --> 00:10:11.490
I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of

00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:14.950
the vine until the kingdom of God comes. And

00:10:14.950 --> 00:10:17.629
he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and

00:10:17.629 --> 00:10:20.769
gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which

00:10:20.769 --> 00:10:23.769
is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.559
likewise he also took the cup after supper saying

00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.980
this cup is the new covenant in my blood which

00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:34.539
is shed for you but behold the hand of my betrayer

00:10:34.539 --> 00:10:37.700
is with me on the table and truly the son of

00:10:37.700 --> 00:10:40.860
man goes as it has been determined but woe to

00:10:40.860 --> 00:10:43.899
that man by whom he is betrayed then they began

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:46.740
to question among themselves which of them it

00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:50.700
was who would do this thing Now there was also

00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:53.679
a dispute among them as to which of them should

00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.460
be considered the greatest. And he said to them,

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:59.580
The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over

00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:02.539
them, and those who exercise authority over them

00:11:02.539 --> 00:11:05.799
are called benefactors. But not so among you.

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.659
On the contrary, he who is greatest among you,

00:11:08.700 --> 00:11:12.100
let him be as the younger. and he who governs

00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:15.240
as he who serves. For who is greater, he who

00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.259
sits at the table or he who serves? Is it not

00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:21.820
he who sits at the table? Yet I among you as

00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:25.059
the one who serves. But you are those who have

00:11:25.059 --> 00:11:27.639
continued with me in my trials, and I bestow

00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.440
upon you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed

00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.559
one upon me, that you may eat and drink at my

00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.860
table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging

00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:39.980
the twelve tribes of Israel. And the Lord said,

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:44.059
Simon, Simon, indeed Satan has asked for you,

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.580
that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed

00:11:47.580 --> 00:11:50.539
for you, that your faith should not fail. And

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:53.000
when you have returned to me, strengthen your

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.139
brethren. But he said to him, Lord, I am ready

00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:58.799
to go with you, both to prison and to death.

00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.879
Then he said, I tell you, Peter, the rooster

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.559
shall not crow this day, before you will deny

00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.759
me three times that you know me. And he said

00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.559
to them, When I sent you without money bag, knapsack,

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.700
and sandals, did you lack anything? So they said,

00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.419
Nothing. Then he said to them, But now he who

00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:21.419
has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise

00:12:21.419 --> 00:12:24.620
a knapsack. And he who has no sword, let him

00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:27.559
sell his garment and buy one. For I say to you

00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.179
that this which is written must still be accomplished

00:12:30.179 --> 00:12:33.139
in me. And he was numbered with the transgressors.

00:12:33.299 --> 00:12:36.629
For the things concerning me have an end. So

00:12:36.629 --> 00:12:40.070
they said, Lord, look, here are two swords. And

00:12:40.070 --> 00:12:43.110
he said to them, It is enough. Coming out, he

00:12:43.110 --> 00:12:45.909
went to the Mount of Olives, as he was accustomed,

00:12:46.169 --> 00:12:48.870
and his disciples also followed him. When he

00:12:48.870 --> 00:12:51.570
came to the place, he said to them, Pray that

00:12:51.570 --> 00:12:54.730
you may not enter into temptation. And he was

00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:58.190
withdrawn from them about a stone's throw. And

00:12:58.190 --> 00:13:01.149
he knelt down and prayed, saying, Father, if

00:13:01.149 --> 00:13:03.730
it is your will, take this cup away from me.

00:13:04.059 --> 00:13:06.740
Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done.

00:13:07.059 --> 00:13:09.639
Then an angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.019
him. And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly.

00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:16.779
Then his sweat became like drops of blood, falling

00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:19.460
down to the ground. When he rose up from prayer

00:13:19.460 --> 00:13:21.879
and had come to his disciples, he found them

00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:25.059
sleeping from sorrow. Then he said to them, Why

00:13:25.059 --> 00:13:28.299
do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:30.610
temptation. And while he was still speaking,

00:13:30.789 --> 00:13:34.490
behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas,

00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:37.509
one of the twelve, went before them and drew

00:13:37.509 --> 00:13:40.129
near to Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said to

00:13:40.129 --> 00:13:42.850
him, Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man

00:13:42.850 --> 00:13:46.370
with a kiss? When those around him saw what was

00:13:46.370 --> 00:13:49.230
going to happen, they said to him, Lord, shall

00:13:49.230 --> 00:13:51.610
we strike with the sword? And one of them struck

00:13:51.610 --> 00:13:53.850
the servant of the high priest and cut off his

00:13:53.850 --> 00:13:56.850
right ear. But Jesus answered and said, Permit

00:13:56.850 --> 00:13:59.850
even this. And he touched his ear and healed

00:13:59.850 --> 00:14:02.990
him. Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains

00:14:02.990 --> 00:14:05.149
of the temple and the elders who had come to

00:14:05.149 --> 00:14:08.330
him, Have you come out as against a robber with

00:14:08.330 --> 00:14:11.570
swords and clubs? When I was with you daily in

00:14:11.570 --> 00:14:14.009
the temple, you did not try to seize me, but

00:14:14.009 --> 00:14:16.610
this is your hour and the power of darkness.

00:14:17.370 --> 00:14:19.850
Having arrested him, they led him and brought

00:14:19.850 --> 00:14:22.769
him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed

00:14:22.769 --> 00:14:26.120
at a distance. Now, when they had kindled a fire

00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.639
in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together,

00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:32.100
Peter sat among them. And a certain servant girl,

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.700
seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently

00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:39.039
at him and said, This man was also with him.

00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:42.179
But he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know

00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:44.779
him. And after a little while, another saw him

00:14:44.779 --> 00:14:48.240
and said, You also are of them. But Peter said,

00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:52.350
Man, I am not. Then after about an hour had passed,

00:14:52.549 --> 00:14:55.649
another confidently affirmed, saying, Surely

00:14:55.649 --> 00:14:59.370
this fellow also was with him, for he is a Galilean.

00:14:59.389 --> 00:15:02.610
But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are

00:15:02.610 --> 00:15:05.389
saying. Immediately, while he was still speaking,

00:15:05.629 --> 00:15:08.289
the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked

00:15:08.289 --> 00:15:10.690
at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the

00:15:10.690 --> 00:15:13.549
Lord, how he had said to him before the rooster

00:15:13.549 --> 00:15:16.809
crows, You will deny me three times. So Peter

00:15:16.809 --> 00:15:20.529
went out and wept bitterly. Now the men who held

00:15:20.529 --> 00:15:24.149
Jesus mocked him and beat him, and having blindfolded

00:15:24.149 --> 00:15:26.509
him, they struck him on the face and asked him,

00:15:26.570 --> 00:15:29.409
saying, Prophesy, who is the one who struck you?

00:15:29.570 --> 00:15:32.730
And many other things they blasphemously spoke

00:15:32.730 --> 00:15:36.110
against him. And as soon as it was day, the elders

00:15:36.110 --> 00:15:38.730
of the people, both chief priests and scribes,

00:15:38.750 --> 00:15:41.350
came together and led him into their council,

00:15:41.429 --> 00:15:45.009
saying, If you are the Christ, tell us. But he

00:15:45.009 --> 00:15:47.769
said to them, If I tell you, you will by no means

00:15:47.769 --> 00:15:51.110
believe. And if I also ask you, you will by no

00:15:51.110 --> 00:15:55.269
means answer me or let me go. Hereafter the Son

00:15:55.269 --> 00:15:57.610
of Man will sit on the right hand of the power

00:15:57.610 --> 00:16:00.610
of God. Then they all said, Are you then the

00:16:00.610 --> 00:16:03.710
Son of God? So he said to them, You rightly say

00:16:03.710 --> 00:16:07.029
that I am. And they said, What further testimony

00:16:07.029 --> 00:16:10.110
do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from

00:16:10.110 --> 00:16:18.169
his own mouth. Now before the feast of the Passover,

00:16:18.450 --> 00:16:21.149
when Jesus knew that his hour had come, that

00:16:21.149 --> 00:16:23.289
he should depart from this world to the Father,

00:16:23.450 --> 00:16:26.149
having loved his own who were in the world, he

00:16:26.149 --> 00:16:29.450
loved them to the end. And supper being ended,

00:16:29.629 --> 00:16:32.149
the devil having already put it into the heart

00:16:32.149 --> 00:16:35.149
of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

00:16:35.269 --> 00:16:37.850
Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things

00:16:37.850 --> 00:16:41.070
into his hands, and that he had come from God

00:16:41.070 --> 00:16:44.549
and was going to God, rose from supper and laid

00:16:44.549 --> 00:16:47.559
aside his garments. took a towel and girded himself.

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:51.220
After that, he poured water into a basin and

00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:53.720
began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.120
them with the towel with which he was girded.

00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:59.220
Then he came to Simon Peter, and Peter said to

00:16:59.220 --> 00:17:03.139
him, Lord, are you washing my feet? Jesus answered

00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:06.140
and said to him, What I am doing you do not understand

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:09.480
now, but you will know after this. Peter said

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.460
to him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered

00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:15.579
him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:18.759
me. Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet

00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.059
only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus said

00:17:22.059 --> 00:17:25.480
to him, He who is bathed needs only to wash his

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.680
feet, but is completely clean, and you are clean,

00:17:28.859 --> 00:17:32.240
but not all of you. For he knew who would betray

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.000
him, therefore he said, You are not all clean.

00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.500
So when he had washed their feet, taken his garments,

00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.400
and sat down again, he said to them, Do you know

00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.940
what I have done to you? You call me teacher

00:17:43.940 --> 00:17:47.359
and Lord, and you say, well, for so I am. If

00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.200
I then, your Lord and teacher, have washed your

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:52.920
feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:55.880
For I have given you an example that you should

00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.079
do as I have done to you. Most assuredly I say

00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.759
to you, a servant is not greater than his master,

00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:05.819
nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent

00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:08.859
him. If you know these things, blessed are you

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:11.779
if you do them. I do not speak concerning all

00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:15.200
of you. I know whom I have chosen, but that the

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.900
scripture may be fulfilled. He who eats bread

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:21.420
with me has lifted up his heel against me. Now

00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:23.880
I tell you before it comes, that when it does

00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.299
come to pass, you may believe that I am he. Most

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:30.440
assuredly I say to you, he who receives whomever

00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.240
I send, receives me, and he who receives me,

00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:36.240
receives him who sent me. When Jesus had said

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.279
these things, He was troubled in spirit and testified

00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.900
and said, Most assuredly I say to you, one of

00:18:42.900 --> 00:18:45.759
you will betray me. Then the disciples looked

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.400
at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.

00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:51.799
Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.099
his disciples whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore

00:18:55.099 --> 00:18:58.380
motioned to him to ask who it was of whom he

00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:01.619
spoke. Then leaning back on Jesus' breast, he

00:19:01.619 --> 00:19:04.900
said to him, Lord, who is it? Jesus answered,

00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:07.700
It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:10.460
when I have dipped it. And having dipped the

00:19:10.460 --> 00:19:13.259
bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son

00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:16.380
of Simon. Now after the piece of bread, Satan

00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:19.359
entered him. Then Jesus said to him, What you

00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.319
do, do quickly. But no one at the table knew

00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.019
for what reason he said this to him. For some

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:27.539
thought, because Judas had the money box, that

00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:30.539
Jesus had said to him, Buy those things we need

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:32.940
for the feast, or that he should give something

00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:35.519
to the poor. Having received the piece of bread,

00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:38.599
he then went out immediately, and it was night.

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:42.420
So when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now the

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:45.220
Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified

00:19:45.220 --> 00:19:48.680
in him. If God is glorified in him, God will

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.140
also glorify him in himself, and glorify him

00:19:52.140 --> 00:19:55.019
immediately. Little children, I shall be with

00:19:55.019 --> 00:19:57.559
you a little while longer. You will seek me,

00:19:57.660 --> 00:20:00.700
and as I said to the Jews, where I am going you

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:04.700
cannot follow. So now I say to you, A new commandment

00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:07.480
I give to you, that you love one another as I

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:09.980
have loved you, that you also love one another.

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:13.380
By this all will know that you are my disciples,

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.680
if you have love for one another. Simon Peter

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:20.019
said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus

00:20:20.019 --> 00:20:22.759
answered him, Where I am going you cannot follow

00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.920
me now, but you shall follow me afterward. Peter

00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.980
said to him, Lord, why can I not follow you now?

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.359
I will lay down my life for your sake. Jesus

00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:34.670
answered him, Will you lay down your life for

00:20:34.670 --> 00:20:37.849
my sake? Most assuredly I say to you, the rooster

00:20:37.849 --> 00:20:40.549
shall not crow till you have denied me three

00:20:40.549 --> 00:20:47.990
times. I hope you enjoyed today's reading as

00:20:47.990 --> 00:20:50.190
much as I did, and I look forward to seeing you

00:20:50.190 --> 00:20:52.569
again tomorrow to continue on our journey. God

00:20:52.569 --> 00:20:53.890
bless you and have a great day.
