João 13

João 13:18

The hateful Iscariot, heedless, By intent, of the law of friendship, Readied for betrayal the feet Which Christ had washed. And though he ate Your bread, the divine Body, He raised his heel against you, O Christ, And knew not how to cry out: "Praise the Lord, O his works, and exalt him unto all ages." The man without conscience received The Body which redeems from sin And the divine blood poured out For the sake of the world; But he was not ashamed to drink What he sold for a price; He took no offense at his wickedness, And knew not how to cry out: "Praise the Lord, O his works, and exalt him unto all ages." — KANON FOR THE FIFTH DAY OF GREAT WEEK, EIGHTH ODE
