er, I desire
that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that
they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst
me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world
knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send
me; and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that
the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them."

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

FRIDAY--THE DAY OF SUFFERING

THE AGONY IN GETHSEMANE.

And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith
unto his disciples, "Sit ye here, while I pray."

And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be

And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time,
