A Gentle Disclosure
Text: John 13: 26-27
A GENTLE DISCLOSURE
All the disciples were concerned about what Jesus said concerning betrayal. Each was a little worried that he might be the one who would ultimately betray Jesus.
“Jesus answered, ‘It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread When I have dipped it.’ And having dipped the bread He gave it To Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, ‘What you do, do quickly.’”

一个温和的揭露
所有的使徒都很关心耶稣所提的背叛。每个人都有点担心自已会是最终背叛耶稣的人。
““耶稣回答说：‘ 我蘸一点饼给谁，就是谁。’ 耶稣就蘸了一点饼，递给加略人西门的儿子犹大。他吃了以后，撒旦就入了他的心。耶稣便对他说：‘ 你所做的，快做吧！’ ”
