John makes it clear that it was during the Passover that’s when our Lord took the sop and gave it to Judas and said, “What thou doest, do quickly,” and he left. I think that you need to understand that to understand what took place here properly. And notice now: “And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed. And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them that it was that should do this thing.” You know, every one of those men believed he could do it. And, if you’re honest, you know you could betray Him, don’t you? You know, friends, if He didn’t keep His hand on me, in the next five minutes I could deny Him. Thank God He won’t take His hand off, though. I rejoice in that. What a wonderful thing that we have here.
