A.D. 34 THE RITE OF THE LORDS SUPPER JESUS COMMANDED THE APOSTLES TO PERPETUATE IN COMMEMORATION OF HIM THEIR LORD UNTIL HIS SECOND COM ING. HE THEN LABOURED UNDER GREAT PER TURBATION OF MIND AND TOLD HIS APOSTLES THAT ONE OF THEM WOULD BETRAY HIM, PETER WHO THOUGHT HIS FAITH SUFFICIENT TO OPPOSE ANY TEMPTATION, DECLARED HIS READINESS TO SUFFER DEATH ITSELF WITH HIS MASTER, BUT JESUS REPLIED BEFORE THE 2ND CROWING OF THE COCK TH IS NIGHT THOU SHALT DENY ME. HE SAID THOUGH I LEAVE YOU LET THIS COMFORT YOU, THE HOLY GHOST IS NOT TO COME UNTIL I HAVE LEFT, AND WHEN HE COMETH HE WILL PLEAD MY CAUSE AGAINST THE WORLD HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS. JESUS THEN WENT WITH HIS DISCIPLES INTO A GARDEN AT GETHSEMANE NEAR THE MOUNT OF OLIVES TO PRAYER. AND HIS AGONY WAS SO GREAT AS TO FORCE SWEAT FROM HIS BODY AS LARGE AS DROPS OF BLOOD. THE TRAITOR JUDAS ENTERED THE GARDEN WITH THE PRIESTS & AN ARMED MULTITUDE, & SEIZ ED JESUS & BOUND HIM & DRAGGED HIM TO THE HOUSE OF CAIPHAS THE HIGH PRIEST. |
