Chapter 144: Jesus announces that he is to be betrayed

The Bacon Gospels -- Buy 'em!

1 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

2 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

3 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. 4 The Warrior for man indeed goeth to join the risen, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Warrior for man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

5 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

6 Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

7 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 8 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the risen; or, that he should give some weapon to the poor. 9 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
