His Last Week: The Story of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus in the Words of the Four Gospels
Barton, William E. (William Eleazar)
Jesus Christ -- Passion -- Texts
And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave
to them, saying, "This is my body; which is given for you; this do in
remembrance of me."
And he took a cup, in like manner after supper, and gave thanks, and gave
to them, saying, "Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new
covenant, which is poured out for you, for many, unto remission of sins.
Take this and divide it among yourselves; for I say unto you, I shall not
drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God
shall come."
THE FAREWELL CONVERSATION.
"Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and
as I said unto the Jews, 'Whither I go, ye cannot come,' so now I say unto
you. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I
have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
Simon Peter saith unto him, "Lord, whither goest thou?"
Jesus answered, "Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou
shalt follow afterwards."
And Jesus saith unto them, "All ye shall be offended: for it is written,
I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.
Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
But Peter said unto him, "Although all shall be offended, yet will not I."
And Jesus saith unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day,
even this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.
Simon, Simon, behold Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as
wheat: but I make supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not: and do
thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren."
But he spake vehemently, "If I must die with thee, I will not deny
thee." And in like manner also said they all.

And he said unto them, "When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet,
and shoes, lacked ye anything?"
And they said, "Nothing."
And he said unto them, "But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it,
and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak,
and buy a sword. For I say unto you, that this which is written must be
fulfilled in me, 'And he was reckoned with transgressors': for that
which concerneth me hath fulfillment."
And they said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords."
And he said unto them, "It is enough."

"Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In
my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have
told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that
where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go, ye know the way."
Thomas saith unto him, "Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know
we the way?"
