Now, the first day | What I d of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? a LUKE 22: 8. And he sent Peter and John saying, Go and prepare us the passover that we may eat. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you be bearing pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto the good man of the house (My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples, Mat. 1.) where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went and found as he had said unto them, and they made ready the passover. -14. And when the hour was come, he sat down and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire, I have desired to eat but thous ter saith wash my If I wasl part with unto him. but also Jesus sait ed neede feet, but are clean who shou said he, Y after he h had take set down Know y you?

Peter said unto him Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. Jesus answered him. Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, til thou hast denied me thrice. 14; 1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were no so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And i I go and prepare a place for you, will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, ther ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know Thomas saith unto him, Lord, w know not whither thou goest; an how can we know the way? Jesu saith unto him, I am the way, an the truth, and the life: no man com eth unto the Father, but my me. ye had known me, you should hav known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and hav seen him. Philip saith unto him Lord, show us the Father, and sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto hin Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me Philip? he that hath seen me, hat seen the Father; and how sayes thou then, Show us the Father Believest thou not that I am in th not, neitner kno 1 Abide in 1 branch ca except it a can ye, e. am the v he that ab the same l for withou If a man forth as a and men g into the f If ye abid abide in y will, and i Herein is ye bear n my discip loved me, tinue ye ir commandı love; eve ther's com his love. ken unto y main in yo be full. ' That ye lo loved you man than his life for friends, if mand you him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, (not Iscariot,) Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth ine not, keepeth not iny sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine, therefore, said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you. A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me; because I go to the Father. Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shal see me: and, Because I go to the Fa ther? They said therefore, Wha is this that he saith, A little while we cannot tell what he saith. Nov Jesus knew that they were desirou to ask him, and said unto them, D ye inquire among yourselves of tha I said, A little while, and ye sha not see me: and again a little while and ye shall see me? Verily, veri ly, I say unto you, That ye sha weep and lament, but the worl shall rejoice: and ye shall be so rowful, but your sorrow shall b turned into joy. A woman whe she is in travail hath sorrow, becaus her hour is come: but as soon as sh is delivered of the child, she remen bereth no more the anguish, for jo that a man is born into the worl And ye now therefore have sorrow but I will see you again, and yo heart shall rejoice, and your joy man taketh from you. And in th day ye shall ask me nothing. Ve should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. § 6.

Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall § 7. be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
