The Farewell Discourse

180:0.1Af­ter singing the Psalm at the con­clu­sion of the Last Sup­per, the apos­tles thought that Je­sus in­tended to re­turn im­me­di­ately to the camp, but he in­di­cated that they should sit down. Said the Mas­ter:

180:0.2“You well re­mem­ber when I sent you forth with­out purse or wal­let and even ad­vised that you take with you no ex­tra clothes. And you will all re­call that you lacked noth­ing. But now have you come upon trou­blous times. No longer can you de­pend upon the good will of the mul­ti­tudes. Hence­forth, he who has a purse, let him take it with him. When you go out into the world to pro­claim this gospel, make such pro­vi­sion for your sup­port as seems best. I have come to bring peace, but it will not ap­pear for a time.

180:0.3“The time has now come for the Son of Man to be glo­ri­fied, and the Fa­ther shall be glo­ri­fied in me. My friends, I am to be with you only a lit­tle longer. Soon you will seek for me, but you will not find me, for I am go­ing to a place to which you can­not, at this time, come. But when you have fin­ished your work on earth as I have now fin­ished mine, you shall then come to me even as I now pre­pare to go to my Fa­ther. In just a short time I am go­ing to leave you, you will see me no more on earth, but you shall all see me in the age to come when you as­cend to the king­dom which my Fa­ther has given to me.”
