Je-sus said, Where I go thou canst not come now, but thou shalt be with me by-and-by.
Pe-ter said, Lord, why can-not I go with thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake!
PRAY-ING IN THE GAR-DEN.
Je-sus said, I tell thee, Pe-ter, the cock shall not crow thrice till thou hast sworn thrice that thou dost not know me.
And as they did eat Je-sus took the bread and gave thanks and broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take and eat.
Then he took some wine in a cup, and when he had thanked God, he gave it to them and they all drank of it.
And he told them that when he was dead they must meet from time to time, and eat the bread and drink the wine in the same way that he had shown them; and as of-ten as they did it they were to think of him, and the death that he died to save men from their sins.
Je-sus spoke with them for some time. Then a hymn was sung and they all went from the house, and came to the Mount of Ol-ives. And they went to a gar-den there, known as Geth-sem-a-ne. And Je-sus took with him Pe-ter, James, and John, and said to them, Sit ye here and watch with me while I go and pray. And he went from them a short way, and knelt down and prayed. And when he thought how soon he was to be put to death for our sins, he was in such grief and pain that the sweat seemed like great drops of blood as it fell to the ground. And God sent an an-gel to calm him and give him strength.
