CHAP. IX. Whether Judas received the Sacrament of the Passover that night in which our Lord was betrayed.
CHAP. IX. Whether Judas received the Sacrament of the Passeover that night in which our Lord was betrayed.
Mr Prynne (distrusting peradventure the strength of his proofs for Judas his receiving of the Lords Supper) betakes himself to an additional argument pag. 24. All our Antagonists, saith he, and the Evangelists clearly agree that Judas did eat the Passover with Christ himself, as well as the other Apostles: now the Passover was a type of the Lords Supper, &c. It seems he had not the notes of my Sermon truly (though he endeavour to confute it) for I did then, and I do still make a very great question of it, whether Judas did so much as eat the Passover at that time with Christ and the other Apostles: and I think I have very considerable reasons which make it probable that Judas did not eat the Passover that night with Christ and the Apostles. The resolution of this question depends upon another, whether Christ and his Apostles did eat the Passover before that supper at which he did wash his Disciples feet, and gave the sop to Judas (after the receiving whereof Judas immediately went out) or whether that supper was before the eating of the Passover. I find tsome others as well as my self have been of opinion that it was before, not after the Passover; (yea that the Jewish custom was to eat their common Supper before the Passover. See M. Weemse his Christian Synagogue pag 120.) I find also Ammonius Alexandrinus de quatuor Evangeliorum consonantia cap. 154. placeth that supper mentioned John 13. 2, 4, 12, 18. at which Jesus did wash his Disciples feet, and when he had done sate down again, and told them that he who was eating bread with him should betray him. Then cap. 155. he proceedeth to the story of the Paschal supper, in which he conceiveth the sop was given to Judas; but in this particular he did much mistake; for the sop was given at the same
