he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever, 47-58. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body, 1 Cor. xi. 26-29. : A. D. 33. testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. a And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words, Exod. xxiv. 7, 8. For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul, Lev. xvii. 11. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, Jer. xxxi. 31. As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit where there is no water, Zech. ix. 11. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many, Mark xiv. 24. Like d Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord God; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her, Ezek. v. 4, 5. And did all drink the same spiritual drink for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ, 1 Cor. x. 4. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bon-wise also the cup after supper, saydage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children, Gal. iv. 24, 25. ing, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you, Luke xxii. 20. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me, 1 Cor. xi. 25. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the Mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all whilst the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first tesFor when Moses had spoken every tament was dedicated without blood: precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled likewise with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission, Heb. ix. 14-22. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every Priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified, x. 414. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, xiii. 20. b Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many, Matt. xx. 28. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many, Rom. v. 15. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous, 19. In whom we have redemption VOL. I. A. D. 33. through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, Eph. i. 7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, Col. i. 14. And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven, 20. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission, Heb. ix. 22. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation, 28. And he is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world, 1 John ii. 2. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands, Rev. vii. 9. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, 13, 14. : VER. 29. ἐκ τούτου τοῦ γεννήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου, Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, ὅτι οὐ μὴ πίω ἀπ ̓ ἄρτι ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης, ὅταν αὐτὸ πίνω μεθ ̓ ὑμῶν καινὸν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ πατός μου. henceforth of this fruit of the vine, bunBut I say unto you, I will not drink til that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. a Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God, Mark xiv. 25. And he said unto them, With desire have I desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say 21 unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come, Luke xxii. 15-18. b For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come, Luke xiii. 18. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them, Matt. xviii. 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world, xxviii. 20. And ye now therefore have sorrow but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you, John xvi. 22. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear, Matt. xiii. 43. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, xxv. 34. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom, Luke xii. 32. For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come, xxii. 18. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel, 29, 30. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, Rev. vii. 17. VER. 30.

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Ephes. v. 19, 20. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him, Col. iii. 16, 17. And he came out, and went as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him, Luke xxii. 39. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence, John xiv. 31. When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the Chief Priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? xviii. 1—4. VER. 31. Τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Πάντες ὑμεῖς σκανδαλισθήσεσθε ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτη γέγραπται γάρ· Πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα, καὶ διασκορπισθήσεται τὰ πρόβατα TñÇ wolμvng. ye Then saith Jesus unto them, a All shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, b I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall a Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

And when he had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount aBut all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled, ver. 56. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me, xi. 6. And Jesus saith unto 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 after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee, Mark xiv. 27, 28. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan bath desired to have you, that he | may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren, Luke xxii. 31, 32. Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me, John xvi. 32. bYet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand, Isa. liii. 10.

After these things Jesus shewed sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones, Zech. xiii. 7. C He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have | forgotten me. They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth, Job xix. 13 -16. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off, Psal. xxxviii. 11. Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none, lxix. 20. Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness, lxxxviii. 18. I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls, Lam. i. 19. And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock himself again to the disciples at the VER. $3. ̓Αποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος, εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Εἰ καὶ πάντες σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν σοὶ, ἐγὼ οὐδέποτε σκανδαλισθήσομαι.

And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death, Luke xxii. 33. Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake, John xiii. 36, 37. b Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not, Psal. xvii. 5. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually, cxix. 116, 117. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud, Prov. xvi. 18, 19.

And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this | day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me, Luke xxii. 34. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice, John xiii. 38. VER. 35. Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος Καν δέῃ με σὺν σοὶ ἀποθανεῖν, οὐ μή σε ἀπαρνήσομαι. Ὁμοίως καὶ πάντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἶπον. Peter said unto him, aThough I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. a : Happy is the man that feareth alway but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief, Prov. xxviii. 14. A man's pride shall bring him low : but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit, xxix. 23. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall, 1 Cor. x. 12.

And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death; tarry ye here and watch, Mark xiv. 33, 34. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say?
