First reading Isaiah 49:1-6

I will make you the light of the nations so that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth

Islands, listen to me,

pay attention, remotest peoples.

The Lord called me before I was born,

from my mother’s womb he pronounced my name.

He made my mouth a sharp sword,

and hid me in the shadow of his hand.

He made me into a sharpened arrow,

and concealed me in his quiver.

He said to me, ‘You are my servant (Israel)

in whom I shall be glorified’;

while I was thinking, ‘I have toiled in vain,

I have exhausted myself for nothing’;

and all the while my cause was with the Lord,

my reward with my God.

I was honoured in the eyes of the Lord,

my God was my strength.

And now the Lord has spoken,

he who formed me in the womb to be his servant,

to bring Jacob back to him,

to gather Israel to him:

‘It is not enough for you to be my servant,

to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back the survivors of Israel;

I will make you the light of the nations

so that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.’

Responsorial Psalm 70(71):1-6,15,17

My lips will tell of your help.

In you, O Lord, I take refuge;

let me never be put to shame.

In your justice rescue me, free me:

pay heed to me and save me.

Be a rock where I can take refuge,

a mighty stronghold to save me;

for you are my rock, my stronghold.

Free me from the hand of the wicked.

It is you, O Lord, who are my hope,

my trust, O Lord, since my youth.

On you I have leaned from my birth,

from my mother’s womb you have been my help.

My lips will tell of your justice

and day by day of your help.

O God, you have taught me from my youth

and I proclaim your wonders still.

Gospel John 13:21-33,36-38

‘What you are going to do, do quickly’

While at supper with his disciples, Jesus was troubled in spirit and declared, ‘I tell you most solemnly, one of you will betray me.’ The disciples looked at one another, wondering which he meant. The disciple Jesus loved was reclining next to Jesus; Simon Peter signed to him and said, ‘Ask who it is he means’, so leaning back on Jesus’ breast he said, ‘Who is it, Lord?’ ‘It is the one’ replied Jesus ‘to whom I give the piece of bread that I shall dip in the dish.’ He dipped the piece of bread and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. At that instant, after Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus then said, ‘What you are going to do, do quickly.’ None of the others at table understood the reason he said this. Since Judas had charge of the common fund, some of them thought Jesus was telling him, ‘Buy what we need for the festival’, or telling him to give something to the poor. As soon as Judas had taken the piece of bread he went out. Night had fallen.

When he had gone Jesus said:

‘Now has the Son of Man been glorified,

and in him God has been glorified.

If God has been glorified in him,

God will in turn glorify him in himself,

and will glorify him very soon.

‘My little children,

I shall not be with you much longer.

You will look for me,

And, as I told the Jews,

where I am going, you cannot come.’

Simon Peter said, ‘Lord, where are you going?’ Jesus replied, ‘Where I am going you cannot follow me now; you will follow me later.’ Peter said to him, ‘Why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.’ ‘Lay down your life for me?’ answered Jesus. ‘I tell you most solemnly, before the cock crows you will have disowned me three times.’

Reflection
Isaiah 49:1-6, John 13:21-33, 36-38

“Judas and Peter”
This gospel took place after Jesus washed the disciples’ feet, including the ones of Judas and Peter. Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him. Because of this, His heart was troubled. We too might have the experience the pain and sadness of being betrayed by a friend. What did Jesus do with this human experience of being betrayed? He continued to love Judas. In the Jewish culture, the gesture of the host offering a piece of bread dipped in the dish to a person is an expression of showing respect and affection to him. Jesus did this gesture of love to Judas, but the latter had already made up his mind to betray Him. On the other hand, Jesus knew too that Peter would deny Him three times, even though he claimed that he would lay down his life for Jesus. Jesus too continued to love Peter.

Today, we are invited to contemplate on Jesus and His faithful love for His betrayer and His denier. He loved us too despite our imperfections. Jesus looks at us and asks, “What about you? Will you follow me to the end?”

Question for reflection:
What is Jesus’ invitation for me as I pray with this passage?

Renungan
Yesaya 49:1-6, Yohanes 13:21-33, 36-38

“Yudas dan Petrus”
Injil ini terjadi setelah Yesus membasuh kaki murid-murid-Nya termasuk Yudas dan Petrus. Yesus tahu bahawa Yudas akan mengkhianati-Nya. Oleh kerana itu hati-Nya gelisah. Kita juga mungkin mengalami rasa sakit dan sedih dikhianati oleh seorang teman. Apakah yang dilakukan Yesus dengan pengalaman dikhianati sebagai manusia? Dia tetap mengasihi Yudas. Dalam budaya orang Yahudi, sikap tuan rumah menawarkan sepotong roti yang dicelupkan ke dalam piring kepada seseorang merupakan ungkapan untuk menunjukkan rasa hormat dan kasih sayang kepadanya. Yesus menunjukkan kasih-Nya kepada Yudas, namun kemudian Yudas telah memutuskan untuk mengkhianati-Nya. Sebaliknya, Yesus juga mengetahui bahawa Petrus akan menyangkal diri-Nya sebanyak tiga kali, walaupun menyatakan bahawa dia akan menyerahkan nyawanya untuk Yesus. Yesus tetap mengasihi Petrus.

Hari ini kita dijemput untuk merenungkan Yesus dan kasih setiaNya kepada pengkhianat-Nya. Dia juga mengasihi kita walaupun kita tidak sempurna. Yesus memandang kita dan bertanya, “Bagaimana dengan anda? Adakah kamu akan mengikuti Aku sehingga akhirnya?”

Soalan renungan:
Apakah jemputan Yesus pada saat ini?

省思
«依四十九:1-6»
«若十三:21-33,36-38»

” 犹达斯和伯多禄”

这段福音发生在耶稣洗门徒的脚之后，包括犹达斯和伯多禄。耶稣知道犹达斯将背叛祂。因此，祂的内心感到困扰。我们也是可能会经历痛苦和悲伤因为被一位朋友的背叛。耶稣对人类的这种出卖经历做了什么回应呢？他继续爱犹达斯。在犹太人的文化中，主人向一个人举起一块面包浸在盘子里的手势是对他表示尊重和喜爱的一种表达。耶稣对犹达斯做了爱的手势，但是后者已经下定了决心要出卖祂。另一方面，耶稣知道伯多禄也会否认祂三遍，即使他声称他将为耶稣献出生命。耶稣也是继续爱伯多禄。

今天，我们受邀请反省耶稣和祂忠贞的爱为祂的背叛者和否认者。尽管我们有瑕疵，耶稣看着我们问:“你呢？你将要跟着我走到最后吗？”

省思题：
在这段经文中，耶稣对我的邀请是什么？
