HIS FOLLOWING GOD'S WILL.

I came down from heaven, not to do mine. own will, but the will of him that sent me.

I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done.

And there appeared an angel unto him, from heaven, strengthening him.

And Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name."

HIS PATIENCE AND FORGIVENESS.

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other.

The high-priest asked Jesus of his disciples,

and of his doctrine. Jesus answered him, "I spake openly to the world, and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me? Ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them. Behold, they know what I said." And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, "Answerest thou the highpriest so?" Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?"

And the men that held Jesus mocked him and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face.

And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him. Then said Jesus, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

When he was reviled, he reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.

Put on, therefore, kindness, long-suffering, forbearing one another, and forgiving one another. Even as Christ forgave you, so also

do ye.

For God sent not his Son into the world to

condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

HIS DOING GOOD TO OTHERS.

He went about doing good, for God was with him.

He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

Jesus answered and said unto them, "Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see; the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them." The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which is lost.

And he said unto them, "What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much, then, is a man better than a sheep?"

Whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in

the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.

Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye, through his poverty, might be rich.

We, then, that are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. For even Christ pleased not himself. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

HIS SYMPATHY WITH GOODNESS.

Whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

HIS COMMUNION WITH GOD.

And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

And he continued all night in prayer to God.

Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as are. Sanctify them through thy truth. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. O Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
