Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
So Run Your Race With Endurance, Looking To Jesus
12 So-therefore we also[a], having so large a cloud of witnesses[b] surrounding us, having laid-aside every weight[c] and the easily-entangling[d] sin, let us be running the race being set-before us with endurance 2 while looking-away toward the author and perfecter[e] of the faith[f]— Jesus— Who endured a cross for[g] the joy being set-before Him, having disregarded[h] the shame[i], and has sat-down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Consider His Endurance
3 For consider[j] the One having endured such opposition[k] by sinners against Himself, in order that you may not be weary in your souls, losing-heart—
Judas Is Identified As The Betrayer, And Leaves The Room
21 Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in His spirit. And He testified and said “Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will hand Me over”. 22 The disciples were looking at one another, being perplexed about whom He was speaking. 23 One of His disciples was reclining-back at the bosom of Jesus— the one whom Jesus was loving. 24 So Simon Peter nods[a] to this one to inquire as to who it might be about whom He is speaking. 25 So that one, having leaned back thus on the chest of Jesus, says to Him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answers, “It is that one for whom I will dip the piece-of-bread and give it to him”. Then having dipped the piece-of-bread, He takes and gives it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And after the piece-of-bread, at that time Satan entered into that one. Then Jesus says to him, “What you are doing, do quicker[b]”. 28 Now none of the ones reclining-back [to eat] understood this— for what purpose He said it to him. 29 For some were thinking, since Judas had the money-box, that Jesus was telling him, “Buy the things of which we have a need for the Feast”, or that he should give something to the poor. 30 So having received the piece-of-bread, that one went out immediately. And it was night.
Then Jesus Says, Now God Was Glorified In Me. And He Will Yet Glorify Me
31 Then when he went out, Jesus says, “Now[c] the Son of Man was glorified[d], and God was glorified in Him. 32 If God was[e] glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself— and will glorify Him immediately.
