It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Jesus had always loved his disciples who were in the world, and he now loved them to the very end.
But there are some of you who don’t believe.” Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who was going to hand him over to his enemies.
Jesus said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must come true.”
Jesus told them, “You’re all going to abandon me this very night. It’s written that the Lord said, “ ‘I will strike the shepherd down, and then the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples what would happen to him. He told them he would have to go to Jerusalem and that the elders, chief priests, and teachers of the law would make him suffer many things there. He would be killed, but he would rise again on the third day.
Since Christ suffered in his body, protect yourselves by having the same attitude that he did, because anyone who suffers in their body is finished with sin.
