He had shared his life with them.

His soul was knit to their souls. But one of them, in complete secrecy, determined in his mind to betray him unto death! For several days the Master had taught in the court of the temple in Jerusalem. Crowds of devout pilgrims gathered to listen to his words of eternal life. But in the crowd stood those religious officials who had pledged themselves to get rid of him. They were puzzled how to seize him without causing a riot among his listeners.

Knowing that one was ready to betray him, how far could he touch his entire mission to the others. In their last few hours together, it was no wonder his heart was heavy. Mark tells us: "And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, one of you shall betray me, even he that eateth with me. They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one. Is it And he said unto them, It is one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the dish.

For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed. God were it for that man if he had not been born." Tomorrow: "Communion."
