I shouldthink He would rather have said, Judas, dont you dare do thatwicked thino-! Long before that time the prophets had foretold that Jesusshould be betrayed for thirty pieces of silver, and He would notdodge any of His appointed sufferings. For this reason He urgedJudas on ; and on he went, meeting the wricked men whom he hadalready seen and arranging to capture Jesus. What did the others say to all this ? We are not told, Charley. Probably they said very little ; theywere too much confused and too sorrowful. But Jesus was not con-fused. When Judas had gone, the Lord took bread, broke it, andgave to the disciples, telling them all to eat of it, and saying, This. gathering darkness. 427 is my body, which is broken for you. Then He poured some wineinto a cup and gave them that to drink, saying it was the new tes-tament—that is, the new agreement or bargain—in His blood, whichwas shed for the remission or forgiveness ot sins. But, Grandpa, His body was not broken then, nor His bloodshed. What did He mean by speaking so? His body was so soon to hang on the cross, His flesh beingstrained and torn and broken there; His blood was so soon to beshed, that He spoke as if both were already done, and none of thedisciples could long be in doubt as to what He meant. I see. He meant, My body that will soon be broken, and, Myblood that will soon be shed, didnt He ? That was it,, darling; and it must have made them feel very sadto hear Jesus talking so. While they were together there He talkedover the precious things we find in five full chapters of Johns gospel,from chapter xiii onward. H
