175:4.1 At the conclusion of [[Jesus]]' last [[discourse]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple], [[the apostles]] once more were left in [[confusion]] and consternation. Before [[the Master]] began his terrible [[denunciation]] of the [[Jewish]] rulers, [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] had returned to the [[temple]], so that all twelve heard this latter half of [[Jesus]]' last [[discourse]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple]. It is unfortunate that [[Judas Iscariot]] could not have heard the first and [[mercy]]-proffering half of this [[farewell]] address. He did not hear this last offer of [[mercy]] to the Jewish rulers because he was still in [[conference]] with a certain [[group]] of [[Sadducees|Sadducean]] relatives and [[friends]] with whom he had lunched, and with whom he was conferring as to the most fitting [[manner]] of dissociating himself from [[Jesus]] and his fellow [[apostles]]. It was while [[listening]] to [[the Master]]'s final [[indictment]] of the [[Jewish]] [[leaders]] and rulers that [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] finally and fully made up his [[mind]] to [[forsake]] the [[gospel]] [[movement]] and wash his hands of the whole [[enterprise]]. Nevertheless, he left [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple] in company with [[the twelve]], went with them to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives Mount Olivet], where, with his fellow [[apostles]], he [[listened]] to that fateful [[discourse]] on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_Jerusalem destruction of Jerusalem] and the end of the [[Jewish]] [[nation]], and remained with them that Tuesday night at the new camp near [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gethsemane Gethsemane].

175:4.2 [[The multitude]] who heard [[Jesus]] swing from his [[merciful]] [[appeal]] to the [[Jewish]] [[leaders]] into that sudden and scathing [[rebuke]] which bordered on ruthless [[denunciation]], were stunned and bewildered. That night, while the [[Sanhedrin]] sat in [[death]] [[judgment]] upon [[Jesus]], and while [[the Master]] sat with his [[apostles]] and certain of his [[disciples]] out on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives Mount of Olives] [[foretelling]] the [[death]] of the [[Jewish]] [[nation]], all [[Jerusalem]] was given over to the serious and suppressed [[discussion]] of just one question: " What will they do with [[Jesus]]?

175:4.3 At the [[home]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicodemus Nicodemus] more than thirty prominent [[Jews]] who were [[secret]] [[believers]] in [[the kingdom]] met and [[debated]] what [[course]] they would pursue in case an open break with the [[Sanhedrin]] should come. All present [[agreed]] that they would make open acknowledgment of their [[allegiance]] to [[the Master]] in the very hour they should hear of his [[arrest]]. And that is just what they did.
