4. John 13:18-20 “Now I’m not talking about all of you - I certainly know the ones I picked out for myself. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: ‘The one who eats my food has turned against me.’ I am telling you right now before it happens, so that when it does happen you’ll believe that I am who I really am!

5. I will emphasize this, the person who welcomes the one I send, welcomes me, and the person who welcomes me, welcomes the One who sent me.”

6. John 13:21-30 After Yeshua said this, he was disturbed in his spirit, and solemnly declared, “Now listen carefully, one of you is going to betray me!” The disciples looked at each other, wondering which one of them could do such a thing. One of Yeshua’s disciples, the one he loved, was reclining for dinner close to him.

7. Simon Peter signaled to him to ask Yeshua who he was talking about. So he leant close to Yeshua and whispered, “Lord, who is it?” Yeshua answered, “It’s the one I’m about to give a piece of bread to after I’ve dipped it.” So Yeshua dipped the bread and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son. When he did this, Adversary entered Judas.

8. Yeshua said to him, “What you’re about to do, do more quickly!” No one reclining at the table realized why Yeshua had said this to him. Some of them thought it was to do with Judas being in charge of the money: they thought that Yeshua had meant, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give some money to the poor. But when Judas had taken the piece of bread, he immediately went out. It was night time.

9. Luke 22:14-16 When the time came, Yeshua and his apostles sat down to eat. He said to them, “I have eagerly wanted to eat this Passover Feast with you before I experience what’s coming. I won’t eat it again until such time as God’s Realm’s comes.”

10. Luke 22:17-21 After Yeshua picked up the wine cup, he thanked God and said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. From now on I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until God’s Realm comes.” He picked up some bread, thanked God and broke it. He gave it to them and said, “This is my body which is being given on your behalf. Do this continually to remember me.”

11. In the same way, after the meal he picked up the wine cup and said, “This cup is the New Covenant in my Blood, which is poured out on your behalf.

12. Luke 22:21-23 “But the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me at the table! The Human Being will go just as it’s been appointed for him to go, but how terrible for the person who betrays him!” They began discussing with each other as to which one of them could do such a thing!

13. Luke 22:24-30 Now it turned out that the disciples got into an argument over which of them was considered to be the most important. Yeshua said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews act like big shots over them, and the ones who wield authority over them call themselves ‘Benefactors’. But you are not to be like that!

14. Instead, the most important one of you should be like the least important, and the one who has authority should be like someone who serves. Which one is the more important – the person who sits down to eat, or the person who serves?

15. Isn’t it the person who sits down at the table? But I myself have come among you as a person who serves! “You are the ones who have stood by to support me throughout the times I was harassed by Adversary. I certainly leave you the Realm in my will, just as the Father left it to me. You will eat and drink at my table in my Realm and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

16. John 13:31-35 When he had gone, Yeshua said, “Now the Son of Man is being given honor, and God is being given honor because of him. Since God is given honor because of him, God will also bring honor to the Son. In fact, he will do this immediately. My dear little children, I’ll be with you a little while longer.

17. You will look for me, and what I told the Jews, I’m telling you now: where I’m going, you can’t come. I’m giving you a new command: love one another. You must love each other just like I have loved you. Everyone will know by this, by the fact that you love one another, that you are my disciples.”

18. Mark 14:27-31 Yeshua said to them, “All of you will fall into a trap, because the Scriptures say, ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ But after I have been raised up I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” But Peter said, “Even if everyone else falls into a trap, I won’t!”

19. “In fact,” Yeshua responded, “this very day – actually tonight, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny having anything to do with me three times!” But Peter kept on insisting emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you, there’s no way I will ever deny you!”

20. Luke 22:31-34 “Simon, Simon, Adversary has demanded you. He wants to shake the stuffing out of you! But I made earnest request to God about you, and asked that your faith will never be lacking. And when you come to your senses, support your fellow believers!”

21. But Peter said, “Lord, I’m ready to go to prison with you and even go as far as dying for you!” “I’m telling you, Peter,” Yeshua said, “that on this very day, you will deny me three times before the rooster crows!”

22. Luke 22:35-38 Then Yeshua said, “Now when I sent you out without a wallet, bag or shoes, was there anything that you lacked?” “No, nothing!” they answered. He said, “But on this occasion, if you have a wallet – take it! Also, take along a bag. If you haven’t got a sword, sell your coat and buy one.

23. The Scriptures say: ‘He was counted as one of the sinners,’ and this must happen to me. Yes, what’s been written about me is about to happen.” The disciples said, “Lord, here are two swords.” “Yes, that’s enough,” he said.

24. Matthew 26:31-35 Then Yeshua said, “All of you will reject me because of what I do tonight, as the Scriptures say, ‘I will strike the Shepherd and all the sheep will be scattered!’ But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” Peter insisted, “Even if we all reject you because of what you do, I will never reject you!”

25. “Let me tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny that you know me three times!” Yeshua answered. “No way!” Peter exclaimed. “Even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you!” All the disciples said the same thing.

26. John 13:36-14:4 Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?” Yeshua answered, “Where I’m going, you won’t be able to follow now, but you will be able to later.” “Lord, why can’t I follow you now?” Peter asked. “I would give my life for you.”

27. Yeshua answered, “Would you really give your life for me? Listen carefully, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!” “Don’t be concerned. You believe God and you also believe me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house – if not, I would have told you, because I’m going there to prepare a place for you.

28. And since I’m going to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, so that you will be where I am too. You know the way to the place I’m going.”

29. John 14:5-7 Thomas asked, “Lord, we don’t know where you’re going, so how can we know the way?” “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,” Yeshua answered. “No one goes to the Father except through me. If you had come to know me, then you would come to know the Father as well. From now on, you will come to know him; you have seen him.”

30. And in conclusion:
