“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, ’Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:  for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.’  Then shall they also answer, saying, ’Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?’ Then shall he answer them, saying, ’Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.’  And these shall go away into eternal punishment:  but the righteous into eternal life.”

THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST JESUS.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples, “Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.”

Then were gathered together the chief priests, the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas; and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.  But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people.”

And Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.  And he went away and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.  And they were glad, and they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver.  And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

WEDNESDAY—­THE DAY OF RETIREMENT

[There is no record of the events of this day.  Jesus spent it in retirement, almost certainly in the home of his friends at Bethany.]

THURSDAY—­THE DAY OF FELLOWSHIP

PREPARATION FOR THE PASSOVER.

And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, “Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover?”

And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, “Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him; and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, ’The Teacher saith, My time is at hand.  Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?’ And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready:  and there make ready for us.”

And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them:  and they made ready the passover.
