Simply because Judas niust:not know, though Peter and John did not know the reason. The . two disciples had to prepare the Lamb.

Jesus walked ahead alone. He saw the snio'ke of the sacrifice of burnt offering in the Temple courts, and 'He knew it was an empty ritual for most of the mltitude. He San 'the white and gold of the Temple build- ing, but !He knew it was air empty glory. The Ten sate nothing. They quar- relled about their places at the table. Judas and the Judas' spirit was among them' That was why they quarrelled. It was sundown 'when Jesus turned up the street toMark's house, and as if by magic the whale city emptied its streets into the houses where the Passover would be eaten•, Supper .was ready niter they arriv- ed. The disciples 'rushed up the out- side stairs and into their places. Judas edged into the seat of honor beside Jesus. John sat on the other side of Jesus, The other 'ten scrambl- ed into such seats as they could find, —acid Peter, slow moving Peter, found himself 'the last to sit down, with only the 'last seat at the table left for him—the thirteenth. But Teter was first Mien Jesus came to wash their feet,—and .sitting opposite Jesus, he was able to talk with , (Him more than the others. It was a silent feast, the twelve were ashamed of their actions and Jesus was 'sad. It was no easy matter to institute a New Sacrament when His followers were so far from His Sp!rit ! Thus they ate the. Passover, Then the New Passover was ordained, a symbolic memorial, the Lord's Supper. !Judas did not retrain long at the table,—(just long enough for appear- ances. IHe had pretended to be sur- prised w^lien Jesus had said that He was to be betrayed, He did not ex- pect such a straight answer when he asked "Is it 'I?" He had received the token of friendship (the sop) from his Master's 'hand—and them he went out into the night. The streets ware empty except for the ;Ronan guard's who kept the peace, a few renegade Jews, ,who dis- regarded the Passover, and Judas who skulked along The darkened streets. 'Peter aiel John understood now why all the mystery about the supper, (for Jesus had whispered to them who would betray Him), The going of Judas cleared, the at- mosphere in the Upper Room. The conversation was not so strained, Jesus told again-wha't -He must do When they realized the tragedy that was so near, they were sad. Jesus tried to comfort them and encourage e n to carry on the work He 'had begun, An. hour after Judas left, Jesus got up from the table and called this eleven to follow him. out to sorne quiet place. His hand was on the latch, but they were on their knees around Him, tugging at His gar- ments, begging Home to stay. Jesus looking Sows at their eager faces said, "I ant the vine, ye are 'the bran'che's.` Without Me ye can do no- thing. I go to the Father, but I will send My ;Spirit to lead, you:" By that time, Jesus knew that Judas would he 'back any noment. So, after a sprayer with the eleven and for them, he opened the door and 'went out, leading: the way to Gethsemane, Here, Jesus divided the eleven. and taking three of them a little farther" into the 'Garden, 'left them there to watch.
