So that night "in which He was betrayed" this was how our dear Lord gave us this last command.
"And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, 'This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me.'
"Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the New Testament in My blood which is shed for you.'
"And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives."
And Jesus said to them, "All ye shall be offended because of Me this night: for it is written, 'I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered!'"
But in His great forgiving love, though Jesus knew they would all forsake Him, He gave them the promise, that when He was risen from the dead He would go before them to Galilee, and there they should see Him again.
