Chap. XXII.

 

Judas doth sell him to the Jewes. 7. After the old Pascal, 19. he giveth to his Disciples the bread of life in a mystical Sacrifice of his body and bloud, for an everlasting commemoration of his Passion. 21. He covertly admonisheth the traitour. 24. Against their ambitious contention he sheweth them that the majoritie of any among them in this world is for their service, as his owne also was: 28. and how he wil exalt them al in the world to come: 31. foretelling Peter the singular priviledge of his faith never failing, 33. and his three negations: 35. and how they shal al now be put to their shiftes. 39. And that night, after his prayer with sweating of bloud, 43. he is taken of the Jewes men, Judas being their Capitaine: yet shewing them both by miracle and word, that they could doe nothing unto him but by his owne permission. 54. Then in the cheefe Priestes house he is thrise denied of Peter, 63. shamefully abused of his keepers, 66. and in the morning impiously condemned of their Councel, for confessing himself to be the Sonne of God.

 

The Passion according to S. Luke in these two chapters, is the Ghospel at Masse upon TENEBRE wenesday.Mt. 26, 1.
Mr. 14, 11.AND the festival day of the Azymes approched, which is called Pasche: ²and the cheefe Priests and the Scribes sought how they might kil him: but they feared the people. ³And Satan entred into Judas that was surnamed Iscariote, one of the Twelve. ⁴And he went, and talked with the cheefe Priests and the Magistrates, how he might betray him to them. ⁵And they were glad, and bargained to give him money. ⁶And he promised. And he sought opportunitie to betray him apart from the multitudes.

MAUNDI Thursday⁷ Mt. 16, 17. Mr. 14, 11.* And the day of the Azymes came, wherein it was necessarie that the Pasche should be killed. ⁸And he sent Peter and John, saying: Goe and prepare us the Pasche, that we may eate. ⁹But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare it? ¹⁰And he said to them: Behold, as you enter into the citie, there shal meete you a man carying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house into which he entreth, ¹¹and you shal say to the Good-man of the house: The Maister saith to thee, Where is the inne where I may eate the Pasche with my Disciples? ¹²And he wil shew you a great refectorie adorned: and there prepare. ¹³And they going, found as he said to them, and prepared the Pasche.

¹⁴And when the houre was come, he sate downe, and the twelve Apostles with him. ¹⁵And he said to them: ″ With desire I have desired to eate this Pasche with you before I suffer. ¹⁶For I say to you, that from this time I wil not eate it, til it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God. ¹⁷And ″ taking the chalice he gave thankes, and said: Take and devide among you. ¹⁸For I say to you, that I wil not drinke of the generation of the vine, til the Kingdom of God doe come.

¹⁹ Mt. 26, 26. Mr. 14, 12. 1 Cor. 11, 24.* And taking bread, he gave thankes, and brake: and gave to them, saying: ″ This is my body ″ which is given for you. ″ Doe this ″ for a commemoration of me. ²⁰In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: ^[1] This is the chalice ″ the new
