BARTON, THEODORE G. SOARES SYDNEY STRONG HOPE PUBLISHING COMPANY CHICAGO PREFACE. ONE HUNDREDTH THOUSAND. The evangelists have devoted one-third of the Gospel record to our Lord's Passion and Resurrection. A comparison of the four narratives clearly indicates the order of events upon the several days of the Holy Week. The devotional reading of the story is a most natural and helpful observance of the Easter season. As an aid to such observance this booklet has been prepared. It is the story, day by day, of the last week in our Lord's earthly life in the words of the four evangelists, containing all that they record, but without repetition. Messrs. Thomas Nelson and Sons have generously co-operated in permitting the use of the best translation. Originally planned for the churches of all denominations in a single community, the booklet has proved a blessing to many thousands of Christians. May this new edition help in the fulfillment of the great purpose which the Gospel epilogue expresses. ------------------------------------------------------ | COPYRIGHT, 1905, BY THE OAK PARK PASTORS' UNION. | | THE TEXT OF THE AMERICAN STANDARD REVISED BIBLE, | | COPYRIGHT 1901, BY THOMAS NELSON AND SONS, IS USED | | BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT AND WITH THEIR PERMISSION. | ------------------------------------------------------ HIS LAST WEEK GOING UP TO JERUSALEM. And it came to pass when the days were well nigh come that Jesus should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he departed from Galilee, and passed through the borders of Samaria and Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond the Jordan. And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there. And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto them, saying, "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles; and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again." Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him." And he entered and passed through Jericho and went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
