Reclining at table with his disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified,
“Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”
The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant.
One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved,
was reclining at Jesus’ side.
So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant. He leaned back against Jesus’ chest and said to him,
“Master, who is it?” Jesus answered,
“It is the one to whom I hand the morsel after I have dipped it.” So he dipped the morsel and took it and handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot.
After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him.
So Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
Now none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him. Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him,
“Buy what we need for the feast,” or to give something to the poor. So Judas took the morsel and left at once. And it was night. When he had left, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once.

My children, I will be with you only a little while longer.
You will look for me, and as I told the Jews,
‘Where I go you cannot come,’ so now I say it to you.” Simon Peter said to him, “Master, where are you going?” Jesus answered him,
“Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later.”
Peter said to him,
“Master, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me?
Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow
before you deny me three times.”

Isa sa inyo ay magkakanulo sa akin.
Juan 13: 21-33,36-38
Kaya ang mga alagad ay nagtinginan sa isa't isa, naguguluhan sila kung sino ang tinutukoy niya.
Mayroon ngang nakahilig sa piling ni Jesus na isa sa kaniyang mga alagad, siya ang iniibig ni Jesus.Si Simon Pedro nga ay humudyat sa kaniya na tanungin si Jesus kung sino ang kaniyang tinutukoy.
Sa paghilig niya sa dibdib ni Jesus, sinabi niya: Panginoon, sino siya?
Sumagot si Jesus: Siya ang bibigyan ko ng kapirasong tinapay pagkatapos ko itong maisawsaw. Nang maisawsaw na niya ang kapirasong tinapay ibinigay niya iyon kay Judas na taga-Keriot na anak ni Simon.Pagkatapos ng isang subo ay pumasok kay Judas si Satanas.
Sinabi nga ni Jesus sa kaniya: Kung ano ang iyong gagawin ay gawin mo agad.Walang sinuman sa nakaupong kasalo niya ang nakaunawa kung bakit niya iyon sinabi sa kaniya. Si Judas ang may hawak ng supot ng salapi. Ito ang dahilan kaya inakala ng ilan na ang sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus ay bumili siya ng mga kakailanganin para sa kapistahan. O kaya ay may ipinabibigay sa kaniya sa mga dukha. Pagkatanggap nga niya ng isang subo ay agad siyang umalis. Noon ay gabi na.
Kaya nga, pagkaalis ni Judas, sinabi ni Jesus: Ngayon ay naluwalhati na ang Anak ng Tao. At ang Diyos ay naluwalhati sa kaniya. Yamang ang Diyos ay naluwalhati sa kaniya, siya naman ay luluwalhatiin ng Diyos sa kaniyang sarili. At siya ay agad niyang luluwalhatiin.
Munting mga anak, makakasama ninyo ako nang kaunting panahon na lamang. Hahanapin ninyo ako. Sinabi ko sa mga Judio: Hindi kayo makakapunta sa aking pupuntahan. Ganito rin ang sinasabi ko sa inyo.
Sinabi ni Simon Pedro sa kaniya: Panginoon, saan ka pupunta?
Sumagot si Jesus sa kaniya: Sa pupuntahan ko ay hindi ka makakasunod sa ngayon ngunit susunod ka sa akin pagkatapos.
Sinabi ni Pedro sa kaniya: Panginoon, bakit hindi ako makakasunod sa iyo sa ngayon? Iaalay ko ang aking buhay alang-alang sa iyong kapakanan.
Sumagot si Jesus sa kaniya: Iaalay mo ba ang iyong buhay alang-alang sa aking kapakanan? Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo: Hindi titilaok ang tandang hanggang sa ipagkaila mo ako nang tatlong ulit.

You deny Me three times. Jesus predicts Peter’s denial. Who among us has not sinned and experienced moments of weakness and shame? What secret denials have we kept in our closets? What childhood bravery turned adult cowardice have we been hiding in our memories? How often have we been afraid to stand up for somebody or to take the blame and the punishment? What fears have driven us to scamper for safety?
Sin and denial, cowardice and weakness, fear and shame — we need not stay where we have fallen. We have to learn from them and make amends. We must face them and then live on with courage. We cannot remain holed in safety. We have to take courage and correct mistakes.
The Lord sees and understands our weaknesses. Let us not allow our faults to dictate or cover the rest of us. We also have brave hearts, courageous spirits, and daring souls. Let our courage, not our fears, rule our lives.
Stand up for somebody today.
