Jesus was troubled in spirit. “My little children, I shall not be with you much longer.”
John 13: 21-33, 36-38
Saint John tells us that “Jesus was troubled in spirit”
whilst he was at supper with his disciples. He knows Judas is about to
betray him. And Jesus is about to leave all of his friends, whom he
loves and cares for deeply. I can’t help but feel compassion for Jesus
as he sits at the table.
