His Life: A Complete Story in the Words of the Four Gospels
Barton, William E. (William Eleazar)
Jesus Christ -- Biography
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?"
