CHAP. XIIII.

Iudas by occasion of Marie Magdalens ointment,* 1.1 doth sel him to the Councel of the Ievves 12 After the Paschal lambe he giueth them the bread of life (Io. 6.) in a mystical sacrifice or separation of his bodie and bloud. 27 and that night, is after his prayer, 43 taken of thee levves men. Iudas being their Captaine: is forsa∣ken of the other eleuen for feare: 53 is falsly accused, and impiously condemned of the Ievves Councel, 65 and shamefully abused of them: 66 and thrise de∣nied of Peter. Al euen as the Scriptures and him self had often foretold.

[verse 1] AND the Pasche vvas and the Azymes after tvvo daies:* 1.2 and the cheefe Priests and the Scribes sought hovv they might by some vvile lay hands on him,* 1.3 and kil him.* 1.4 ✝ [rightJustify 2] For they said, Not on the festiual day, lest there might be a tumult of the people.

✝ [rightJustify 3] And * vvhen he vvas at Bethania in the house of Simon the Leper,* 1.5 and sate at meate, there came a vvoman hauing an alabaster boxe of ointment,* 1.6 of pretious spike-narde: and breaking the alabaster-boxe, she povvred it out vpon his head. ✝ [rightJustify 4] But there vvere certaine that had indignation vvithin them selues, and said, Vvhereto is ″ this vvast of the ointment made? ✝ [rightJustify 5] For this ointment might haue been sold for more then three hundred pence, and giuen to the poore. And they murmured against her. ✝ [rightJustify 6] But IESVS said, ″ Let her alone, vvhy do you molest her? she hath vvrought a good vvorke vpon me. ✝ [rightJustify 7] for the poore you haue alvvaies vvith you: and vvhen you vvil, you may doe them good: but∷ 1.7 me you haue not alvvaies. ✝ [rightJustify 8] That vvhich she had, she hath done: she hath preuented to anoint my body to the burial. ✝ [rightJustify 9] Amen I say to you, Vvheresoeuer this Gospel shal be preached in the vvhole vvorld, that also vvhich she hath done, shal be told for a memorie for her.

✝ [rightJustify 10] And * Iudas Iscariote one of the Tvvelue vvent his vvay to the cheefe Priests,* 1.8 for to betray him to them.* 1.9 ✝ [rightJustify 11] Vvho hea∣ring

it, vvere glad: and they promised him that they vvould giue him money. And he sought hovv he might betray him conueniently.

✝ [leftJustify 12] And * the first day of the Azymes vvhen they sacrificed the Pasche,* 1.10 the Disciples say to him,* 1.11 Vvither vvilt thou that vve goe,* 1.12 and prepare for thee to eate the Pasche? ✝ [leftJustify 13] And he sendeth tvvo of his Disciples, and saith to them, Goe ye into the citie: and there shal meete you a man carying a pitcher of vvater, folovv him: ✝ [leftJustify 14] and vvhithersoeuer he entreth, say to the maister of the house, that the Maister saith, Vvhere is my refectorie, vvhere I may eate the Pasche vvith my Disci∣ples? ✝ [leftJustify 15] And he vvil shevv you a great chamber, adorned: and there prepare for vs. ✝ [leftJustify 16] And his Disciples vvent their vvaies, and came into the citie: and they found as he had told them, and they prepared the Pasche.* 1.13 ✝ [leftJustify 17] And * vvhen euen vvas come, he commeth vvith the Tvvelue. ✝ [leftJustify 18] And vvhen they vvere sitting at the table and eating, IESVS said, Amen I say to you, that one of you shal betray me, he that eateth vvith me. ✝ [leftJustify 19] But they began to be sad, and to say to him seuerally, Is it I? ✝ [leftJustify 20] Vvho said to them, One of the Tvvelue, he that dip∣peth vvith me his hand in the dish. ✝ [leftJustify 21] and the Sonne of man in deede goeth,* 1.14 * as it is vvritten of him, but vvo to that man by vvhom the Sonne of man shal be betrayed. it vvere good for him,* 1.15 if that man had not been borne. ✝ [leftJustify 22] And * vvhiles they vvere eating, IESVS tooke ″ bread: and blessing brake, and gaue to them,* 1.16 and said, Take, THIS IS ″ MY BODY. ✝ [leftJustify 23] And taking the ″ chalice, giuing thankes he gaue to them. and they∷ 1.17 al dranke of it.* 1.18 ✝ [leftJustify 24] And he said to them, THIS IS ″ MY BLOVD OF THE NEVV TESTAMENT, THAT SHAL BE SHED FOR MANY. ✝ [leftJustify 25] Amen I say to you, that novv I vvil not drinke of the fruite∷ 1.19 of the vine vntil that day vvhen I shal drinke it nevv in the kingdom of God. ✝ [leftJustify 26] And an hymne being said, they vvent forth into Mount∣oliuet.* 1.20

✝ [leftJustify 27] And IESVS saith to them, You shal al be scandalized in me in this night:* 1.21 for it is vvritten, I vvil strike the Pastor, and the sheepe shal be dispersed. ✝ [leftJustify 28] But after that I shal be risen againe, I vvil goe before you into Galilee. ✝ [leftJustify 29] And Peter said to him, Although al shal be scandalized: yet not I. ✝ [leftJustify 30] And IESVS saith to him, Amen I say to thee, that thou this day in this night, before the cocke crovv tvvise, shalt thrise deny me.

✝ [rightJustify 31] But he spake more vehemently, Although I should die together vvith thee, I vvil not denie thee. And in like maner also said they al.

✝ [rightJustify 32] And they come into a farme-place called Gethsemani. And he saith to his Disciples, Sit you here, vntil I pray. ✝ [rightJustify 33] And he taketh Peter and Iames and Iohn vvith him: and he began to feare and to be heauy. ✝ [rightJustify 34] And he saith to them, My soul is sorovvful euen vnto death: stay here, and vvatch. ✝ [rightJustify 35] And vvhen he vvas gone forvvard a litle, he fel flat vpon the ground: and he prayed that if it might be, the houre might passe from him: ✝ [rightJustify 36] and he said, Abba, Father, al things are pos∣sible to thee, transferre this chalice from me. but not that vvhich I vvil, but that vvhich thou. ✝ [rightJustify 37] And he commeth, and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldst thou not vvatch one houre? ✝ [rightJustify 38] Vvatch ye, and pray that you enter not into tentation. The spirit in deede is prompt, but the flesh infirme. ✝ [rightJustify 39] And going avvay againe, he prayed, saying the selfe same vvord. ✝ [rightJustify 40] And returning, againe he found them a sleepe (for their eies vvere heauy) and they vvist not vvhat they should ansvver him. ✝ [rightJustify 41] And he com∣meth the third time, and saith to them, Sleepe ye novv, and take rest, it suffiseth, the houre is come: behold the Sonne of man shal be betraied into the hands of sinners. ✝ [rightJustify 42] Arise, let vs goe. behold, he that shal betray me, is at hand.

✝ [rightJustify 43] And * as he vvas yet speaking,* 1.22 commeth Iudas Iscariote one of the Tvvelue,* 1.23 and vvith him a great multitude vvith svvordes and clubbes, from the cheefe Priestes and the Scri∣bes and the Auncients.* 1.24 ✝ [rightJustify 44] And the betrayer of him had giuen them a signe, saying, Vvhomsoeuer I shal kisse, it is he, lay hold on him, and leade him vvarily. ✝ [rightJustify 45] And vvhen he vvas come, immediatly going to him, he saith, Rabbi, and he kis∣sed him. ✝ [rightJustify 46] But they laid hands vpon him: and held him. ✝ [rightJustify 47] And one certaine man of the stāders about, dravving out a svvord, smote the seruant of the cheefe priest, and cut of his eare. ✝ [rightJustify 48] And IESVS ansvvering, said to them, As to a theefe are you come out vvith svvordes and clubbes to apprehend me? ✝ [rightJustify 49] Ivvas daily vvith you in the temple teaching, and you did not lay hands on me. But, that the Scriptures may be fulfilled. ✝ [rightJustify 50] Then his disciples leauing him, al fled. ✝ [rightJustify 51] And a certaine yong man fo∣lowed him clothed vvith sindon vpō the bare: & they tooke him. ✝ [rightJustify 52] But he casting of the sindon, fled from them naked.

✝ [leftJustify 53] And they brought IESVS to the cheefe Priest: and al the Priests and the Scribes and the Auncients assembled to∣gether. ✝ [leftJustify 54] And Peter folovved him a farre of euen in vnto the court of the high Priest: and he sate vvith the seruants at the fire, and vvarmed him self. ✝ [leftJustify 55] And the cheefe Priests and al the councel sought testimonie against IESVS, that they might put him to death, neither found they. ✝ [leftJustify 56] For many spake false witnes against him: and the testimonies vvere not cōuenient. ✝ [leftJustify 57] And certaine rising vp, bare false vvitnes against him, saying, ✝ [leftJustify 58] That vve heard him say,* 1.25 * I vvil dissolue this temple made vvith hand, and in three daies vvil I build an other not made vvith hand. ✝ [leftJustify 59] And their testimonie vvas not conuenient. ✝ [leftJustify 60] And the high Priest rising vp into the middes, asked IESVS, saying, Ansvverest thou nothing to these things that are ob∣iected to thee of these? ✝ [leftJustify 61] But he held his peace and ansvve∣red nothing. Againe the high Priest asked him, and said to him,* 1.26 Art thou Christ the sonne of the blessed God? ✝ [leftJustify 62] And IESVS saith to him, I am. And you shal see the * Sonne of man sitting on the right hand of povver, and comming vvith the cloudes of heauen. ✝ [leftJustify 63] And the high Priest renting his gar∣ments, saith, Vvhat neede vve vvitnesses any further? ✝ [leftJustify 64] You haue heard blasphemie. hovv thinke you? Vvho al∷ 1.27 con∣demned him to be guilty of death. ✝ [leftJustify 65] And certaine began to spit vpon him, and to couer his face, and to beate him vvith buffets, and to say vnto him, Prophecie: and the seruants gaue him blovves.

✝ [leftJustify 66] And vvhen Peter vvas in the court beneath, there com∣meth one of the∷ 1.28 vvoman-seruants of the high Priest. ✝ [leftJustify 67] And vvhen she had seen Peter vvarming him self, beholding him she saith, And thou vvast vvith IESVS of Nazareth. ✝ [leftJustify 68] But he denied, saying, Neither knovv I, neither vvot I vvhat thou saiest. And he vvent forth before the court: and the cocke crevve. ✝ [leftJustify 69] And againe a vvench seeing him, began to say to the standers about, That this fellovv is of them. ✝ [leftJustify 70] But he denied againe. And after a vvhile againe they that stoode by, said to Peter, Verily thou art of them: for thou art also a Ga∣lilaean. ✝ [leftJustify 71] But he ″ began to curse and to svveare, That I knovv not this man vvhom you speake of. ✝ [leftJustify 72] And immediatly the cocke crevv againe. And Peter remembred the vvord that IESVS had said vnto him, Before the cocke crovv tvvise, thou shalt thrise deny me. And he began to vveepe.

ANNOTATIONS CHAP. XIIII.

4. This wast.]* 1.29 Religious offices done to Christ for signification, deuotion, or honour sake, both then in his life, and novv in the Holy Sacrament, be of some (vnder pretence of better be∣stowing such things vpon the poore) condemned vniustly.

6. Let her alone.] Christ answereth for the deuout woman, and for defence of her fact, as we must answer against the ignorant and il men, vvhen they blame good men for giuing their goods to the Church.

22. Bread.]* 1.30 This is bread before the Sacramental wordes, but the Consecration once done, of bread is made the flesh of Christ. Ambros. li. 4 c. 4 de Sacramentis.

23. Chalice.] Wine and Water is put into the Chalice, but is made bloud by Consecration of the heauenly word:* 1.31 though to auoid the lothsomnesse which would be in the sight of bloud, thou receiuest that which hath the likenes and resemblance thereof. Ambr. ibidem.

••••. 24. My bodie, My bloud.] Whosoeuer beleeueth it not to be true that is said, he falleth from grace and saluation.* 1.32 Epiph. in Ancorato. Let vs euer giue credite to God, and neuer resist him, though the thing that he saith, seeme neuer so absurd in our imagination, or farre passe al our sense and vnderstanding. For his wordes can not beguile vs, but our sense may easely be deceiued. Seeing therfore that he said, This is my body, let vs neuer doubt of the matter. Chrysost ho. 83. in Mat. sub finem.

71.
