[M] And they were exceeding forrowful, and began every one of them to fay unto him, [Mr.] one by one, [M] Lord, is it I? And he answered and faid unto them, It is one of the Twelve, that dippeth [M.] his Hand with me in the Difh, the fame fhall betray me.

Now no Man at the Table knew for what Intent he spake this unto him: for fome of them thought, becaufe Fudas had the Bag, that Jesus had faid unto him, Buy thofe Things that we have need of against the Feast or that he fhould give fomething to the Poor. [M] Then Judas which betrayed him, answered and faid, Mafter, is it I? He faid unto him, Thou haft faid. [7] He then having received the Sop, went immediately out: and it was Night. Therefore when he was gone out, Jefus faid, Now is the Son of Man GLORIFIED, and GOD IS GLORIFIED in him. If God be glorified in him, God fhall alfo glorify him in himself, and fhall ftraightway glorify him.
