Then He asked them,
when 1 sent you out without purse
or bag or shoes, was there anything
mo. nothing" they replied.
4 But now" said He, '1et the one
man who has a purse take it, and he
who has a bag must do the same.
And let him who has no sword sell his
outer garment and buy one. For L
tell you that those words of Scripture
must yet find their fulfilment in me:
| And He was reckoned among the
lawless' lisa. lii. 12); for indeed that
saying about me has its accomplish
ment."
Master. here are two swords" they
! exclaimed.
THAT is enough" He replied.
Christ's Agony in Gethsemane
On going out. He proceeded as
usual to the Mount of olives, and
when He arrived at the place, He said
to them.
pray that you may not come into
temptation"
But He Himself withdrew from
them about stones throw, and knelt
down and prayed repeatedly, saying,
Father. If it be Thy will, take
this cup away from me; yet not my
will but Thine be done"'
And there appeared to Him an angel
from Heaven, strengthening Him;
while He-an agony of distress having
come upon Him-prayed all the more
with intense earnestness, and His
sweat became like dots of blood
dropping On the ground.
When He rose from his prayer and
came to His disciples, He found them
sleeping for sorrow.
why are you sleeping?" He said;
stand up; and pray that you may
not come into temptation"
Judas brings armed Men
While He was still speaking there
came a crowd with Judas, already
their head. He went up to Jesus to
kiss Him.
Judas" said Jesus. ARE you
betraying the Son of Man with a
kiss p"
Those who were about Him, seeing
what was likely to happen, asked Him,
Master, shall we strike with the

the High Priests servant and cut off
his right ear.
Permit me thus FAR" said Jesus.
And He touched the ear and healed
it.
Jesus expostuIates
Then Jesus said to the High Priests
and Commanders of the Temple and
Elders. who had come to arrest Him.
Have you come out as if to fight
with a robber, with swords and
cudGels? While day after day I was
with you in the Temple, you did not
lay hands upon me; but to you belongs
this hour-and the power of
darkness"
Peters Denial

High Priests house, while Peter
followed a good way behind. And
when they had lighted a fire in the
middle of the court and had seated
themselves in a group round it, Peter
was sitting among them. when a maid |
servant saw him sitting by the fire, !
and looking fixedly at him. she said, |
This man also was with him"
But he denied it, and declared,
Woman. I do not know him.
Shortly afterwards a man saw him !
and said,
You, too, are one Of them"
mo, man. I am not" said Peter. I
After an interval of about an hour
some one else stoutly maintained:
Certainly this fellow also was with |
him. for in fact he is a. Galilaean."
Man, I don't know what you
mean" replied Peter.
No sooner had he spoken than a |
cock crowed. The Master turned and |
looked on Peter; and Peter recollected |
the Masters words, how He had said |
to him,
This very day, before the cock |
crows. you will disown me three
times"
And he went out and wept aloud
bitterly.
Jesus insuIted
Meanwhile the men who held Jesus
in custody repeatedly beat Him in
cruel sport. or blindfolded Him, and
then challenged Him. 1

things to Him.
Jesus questioned by the Sanhedrin
As soon as It was day. the whole
body OF the Elders. both High Priests
and Scribes, assembled. Then He was
brought into their Sanhedrin, and
they asked Him,

forward the Son of Man will be seated

You. then. are the Son of God?"
1t is as you say" He answered:
IT am He"
What need have we of further evil
dence2" they said; for we ourselves
have heard it from his own lips
jesus is taken to PLATE
Then the whole assembly rose and
brought Him to PLATE. and began to
accuse Him.

said, IAN agitator among our nation,
forbidding the payment of tribute to
Caesar. and claiming to be himself an
anointed king
