1. 0. Greeting

1, 2 [Arabic, p. 170] [[John 13.23]] And one of his disciples was sitting in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved. [[John 13.24]] To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, concerning 3 whom he spoke. [[John 13.25]] And that disciple leaned on Jesus' breast, and said to him, 4 My Lord, who is this? [[John 13.26]] Jesus answered and said, He to whom I shall dip bread, and give it. And Jesus dipped bread, and gave to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 5 [[John 13.27]] And after the bread, Satan entered him. And Jesus said to him, What you 6 desirest to do, hasten the doing of it. [[John 13.28]] And no man of them that sat knew why he 7 said this unto him. [[John 13.29]] And some of them thought, because Judas had the box, that he was bidding him buy what would be needed for the feast; or, that he might pay 8 something to the poor. [[Matthew 26.25]] Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I, my 9 Master? Jesus said to him, You have said. [[John 13.30]] And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without: and it was still night.

10 [[John 13.31]] And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified, and God is being glorified 11 in him; [[John 13.32]] and if God is glorified in him, God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him.

12 [[Mark 14.22]] a And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided; [[Matthew 26.26]] b and he 13 gave to his disciples, and said to them, Take and eat; this is my body. [[Mark 14.23]] a And he [Arabic, p. 171] took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, [[Matthew 26.27]] b and said, Take 14, 15 and drink of it, all of you. [[Mark 14.23]] b And they drank of it, all of them. [[Mark 14.24]] a And he said to them, [[Matthew 26.28]] This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the 16 forgiveness of sins. [[Matthew 26.29]] I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink with you new wine in the kingdom of 17 God. [[Luke 22.19]] b And thus do ye in remembrance of me. [[Luke 22.31]] And Jesus said to Simon, Simon, 18 behold, Satan asks that he may sift you like wheat: [[Luke 22.32]] but I entreat for you, that you lose not your faith: and do you, at some time, turn and strengthen your brethren.

19 [[John 13.33]] My children, another little while am I with you. And you shall seek me: and as 20 I said to the Jews, Whither I go, you cannot come; I say unto you now also. [[John 13.34]] A new commandment I give you, that you may love one another; and as I have loved 21 you, so shall you also love one another. [[John 13.35]] By this shall every man know that you are 22 my disciples, if you have love one to another. [[John 13.36]] Simon Cephas said to him, Our Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered and said to him, Whither I go, you can not now follow me; but later you shall come.

23 [[Matthew 26.31]] Then said Jesus unto them, You all shall desert me this night: i
