Speaking with Deep Sadness
Text: John 13: 21 -22
SPEAKING WITH DEEP SADNESS
Though Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him, He still felt deeply sad in His gentle heart.
“When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, One of you will betray Me.’ Then the disciples looked at one another, Perplexed about whom He spoke.”
John 13:21-22

以极大的悲伤说的话
虽然耶稣知道犹大会背叛祂，祂温柔的心仍深感悲伤。
“耶稣说了这话，心里忧愁，就明说：‘我实实在在地告诉你们：你们中间有一个人要卖我了。’门徒彼此对看，猜不透所说的是谁。”
