Exodus

Exodus 6:14-27:
This section lists the genealogy of the heads of the families of the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, focusing particularly on the family line of Levi, to which Moses and Aaron belong. It emphasizes the legitimacy and divine appointment of Moses and Aaron by tracing their lineage back to Levi, one of the sons of Jacob. The genealogy confirms their roles as leaders of the Israelites and establishes their hereditary right to priestly duties.
Psalm 77:10-15:
In this continuation of the psalm, the psalmist shifts from despair to recalling God's great deeds and mighty works. He decides to focus on remembering God’s wonders of old, meditating on His works and considering His mighty deeds. The psalmist recounts God's holiness and the ways in which He has redeemed His people, emphasizing that God’s ways are holy and incomparable. He particularly remembers the miracles God performed for Israel, such as parting the Red Sea, which serves as a powerful reminder of God's omnipotence and mercy.
Proverbs 25:26:
This proverb likens a righteous man who gives way before the wicked to a polluted spring or a muddied fountain. It highlights the importance of maintaining one’s integrity and standing firm in virtue. When a good person compromises their ethics in the face of evil, it is as harmful as water sources becoming contaminated-both lose their value and effectiveness.
Matthew 26:21-25:
During the Last Supper, Jesus solemnly announces that one of the Twelve will betray Him. The disciples are deeply distressed and begin to ask Him one by one if it is them He is referring to. Jesus confirms that it is one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Him and that the Son of Man goes as it is written, but woe to the man who betrays Him. Jesus specifically identifies Judas as the betrayer after Judas himself asks if it is he, to which Jesus replies, "You have said so."
Mark 14:18-21:
This passage mirrors the account in Matthew, where Jesus, during the Last Supper, announces that one of the Twelve eating with Him will betray Him. The disciples are saddened and each ask if it is they who will betray Him. Jesus specifies that it is one who dips bread into the bowl with Him and reiterates that His betrayal fulfills Scripture, but woe to the betrayer for whom it would be better if he had not been born.
Luke 22:21-23:
Similarly, during the Last Supper, Jesus reveals that the hand of His betrayer is with Him on the table. He acknowledges that His betrayal has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him. The disciples then begin to question among themselves which of them it could be who would do this.
John 13:21-30:
In this passage, Jesus is troubled in spirit and openly declares to His disciples that one of them will betray Him. The disciples are puzzled, and following a sign from Jesus, John asks Him who the betrayer is. Jesus identifies Judas by giving him a piece of dipped bread and tells him to do what he must do quickly. None of the other disciples understand why Jesus said this to Judas, with some thinking Judas was told to buy what was needed for the festival or to give something to the poor. Judas then leaves immediately to carry out his betrayal.
