4. JOHN 13:30
And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas
Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 Now after the piece of
bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to
him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the
table knew for what reason He said this to him. 29 For
some thought, because Judas had the money box,
that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we
need for the feast,” or that he should give something
to the poor.
30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went
out immediately. And it was night.

5. JOHN 13:3131 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of
Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. 32 If God
is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in
himself, and will glorify him at once.
33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer.
You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I
tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I
have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By
this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if
you love one another.”

8. MATHEW 26:51-54
51 And behold, one of those who were with
Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck
the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Then
Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its
place; for all those who take up the sword shall
perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot
appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My
disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How
then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it
must happen this way?”

9. MATHEW 27:51-54
51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two
from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the
rocks were split. 52 The tombs were opened, and
many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep
were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after His
resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared
to many. 54 Now the centurion, and those who were
with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they
saw the earthquake and the things that were
happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly
this was the Son of God!
