Whether did not Christ three several times to His §XDisciples affirm, that one of them should betray him: The First was, as they were eating the Passover; and is mentioned by S. Matthew and S. Mark, when the Disciples one by one said unto Christ, LORD, is it I? Unto which Christ replied in General terms, He it is that dippeth his hand with Me in the dish: *The Second time was, as they were celebrating His Supper; and is mentioned by S. Luke, when the Disciples enquired only among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing? †The Third time was, after His Supper; and is mentioned by S. John, when (saith the Text) the Disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom He spake, till at length Peter beckoned to John, and John thereupon said unto Christ, LORD, who is it? Unto which Christ replied in Special terms, He it is to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it; and when He had dipped the sop, He gave it to Judas Iscariot. *And if so; Then whether such Expositors do not miserably confound as well the Gospel as themselves, who distinguish not these times, †but make them all one; and without warrant of Scripture talk of Christs Institution of His Supper after the Sop given to Judas?
