[6] And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, who was of the number [7] of the twelve. And he went away, and communed with the chief priests, and the scribes, and those that held command in the temple, and said unto them, What [8] [Arabic, p. 167] would ye pay me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they, when they heard it, were pleased, and made ready for him thirty pieces of money. [9] And he promised them, and from that time he sought an opportunity that he might deliver unto them Jesus without the multitude.

The Arabic (lit. a stumbling or a cause of stumbling) doubtless represents the Syriac.

The Arabic word means swimmeth. The Syriac versions have is bathed, which Borg. ms. misreads bathed, and Vat. ms. (followed by Ciasca) corrupts into batheth, rendering it swimmeth.

[11] And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew that the hour was arrived for his departure from this world unto his Father; and he loved his own in this world, [12] and to the last he loved them. And at the time of the feast, Satan put into the [13] heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to deliver him up. And Jesus, because he knew that the Father had delivered into his hands everything, and that he came [14] forth from the Father, and goeth unto God, rose from supper, and laid aside his [15] garments; and took a towel, and girded his waist, and poured water into a bason, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith [16] his waist was girded. And when he came to Simon Cephas, Simon said unto [17] him, Dost thou, my Lord, wash for me my feet? Jesus answered and said unto [18] him, What I do, now thou knowest not; but afterwards thou shalt learn. Simon said unto him, Thou shalt never wash for me my feet. Jesus said unto him, If I [19] wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Cephas said unto him, Then, my [20] Lord, wash not for me my feet alone, but my hands also and my head. Jesus said unto him, He that batheth needeth not to wash save his feet, whereas his whole [21] body is clean: and ye also are clean, but not all of you. For Jesus knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

The Syriac word is retained. In Arabic it properly means become strong or proud (cf. § 38, 17).

[44] Jesus said that, and was agitated in his spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, [45] verily, I say unto you, One of you, he that eateth with me, shall betray me. And they were very sorrowful; and they began to say unto him, one after another of [46] them, Can it be I, Lord? He answered and said unto them, One of the twelve, [47] he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, will betray me. And lo, the hand of [48] him that betrayeth me is on the table. And the Son of man goeth, as it is written of him: woe then to that man by whose hand the Son of man is betrayed! for it [49] would have been better for that man had he not been born. And the disciples [50] looked one on another, for they knew not to whom he referred; and they began to search among themselves, who that might be who was to do this.

[34] And the first day came, the feast of unleavened bread, on which the Jews were [35] wont to sacrifice the passover. And Jesus sent two of his disciples, Cephas and John, and said unto them, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat. [36, 37] And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee? He said unto them, Go, enter the city; and at the time of your entering, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him, and the place where he entereth, say [38] to such an one, the master of the house, Our Master saith, My time is come, and [Arabic, p. 169] at thy house I keep the passover. Where then is the lodging-place where [39] I shall eat with my disciples? And he will shew you a large upper room [40] spread and made ready: there then make ready for us.

[1, 2] And when Jesus finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, Ye know that after two days will be the passover, and the Son of man is delivered up to be [3] crucified. Then gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders [4] of the people, unto the court of the chief priest, who was called Caiaphas; and they took counsel together concerning Jesus, that they might seize him by subtilty, and [5] kill him. But they said, Not during the feast, lest there take place a disturbance among the people; for they feared the people.
