Whilst they were still eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it and brake it, and gave it to them, saying, "Take, eat, This is my body which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me." Then he

took a cup and gave it to them, saying, "This cup

is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." The sacrament of the Holy Supper, which is used in our church, is in commemoration of this last Supper which Christ ate on earth, and in remembrance of the benefits reaped by mankind from his sufferings and death.

When Judas had gone away, Jesus turned to the other apostles, and said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.". "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 to you. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another: 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 asked him what he meant by saying, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me afterwards: Peter

said, "Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake:" but Jesus said, "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."

Christ then comforted his disciples, who were in great distress at what they had heard. He said to them, "I go to prepare a place for you.".

"Whither I go, ye know, and the way ye know." Thomas saith unto him, "Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.

If

ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father: and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe

me for the very work's sake." And, "Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye love me, keep my commandments: And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not; neither knoweth him: but ye know him, for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more: but ye see me : because I live, ye shall live also: At that day ye shall know that I am in Father, and my and I in you. in ye me, He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him: These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. leave with you, my peace I give unto you.
