l. when Jesus had spoken these words,
He went forth with His disciples over the
brook Cedron, where was a garden, into
the which He entered, and His disciples"
Matthew and Mark say that they sung
a hymn; they also give the name of the
garden, Gethsemane, and state that on the
way thither Jesus foretold that on that
very night they would all forsake Him
(Math. XVI $685. Mark xiv, 26-S2).
q "And Judas also, which betrayed Him,
knew the place; fer Jesus ofttimes re-
sorted thither with His disciples"
In chapter vii, So; viii, l, we read that
every man went unto his own house;
Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives"
This He did very often. and therefore
Judas knew the place well.

of men and officers from the chief priests
and Pharisees, cometh thither with Ian
terms and torches and weapons"
Matthew and Mark speak of great null

per chamber before the discourse, and prob
ably at the close of the passover feast and
