178:2.1 Not many of [[the Master]]'s hearers were able to take in even a part of his forenoon [[Discourse|address]]. Of all who heard him, the [[Greeks]] [[comprehended]] most. Even the eleven [[apostles]] were bewildered by his allusions to [[future]] [[political]] kingdoms and to [[successive]] [[generations]] of kingdom [[believers]]. [[Jesus]]' most [[devoted]] followers could not [[reconcile]] the impending end of his [[earth]]ly [[ministry]] with these [[references]] to an extended [[future]] of [[gospel]] [[activities]]. Some of these [[Jewish]] [[believers]] were beginning to sense that [[earth]]'s greatest [[tragedy]] was about to take place, but they could not [[reconcile]] such an impending [[disaster]] with either [[the Master]]'s cheerfully indifferent [[personal]] [[attitude]] or his forenoon [[discourse]], wherein he [[repeatedly]] alluded to the [[future]] [[transactions]] of [[the heavenly kingdom]], extending over vast stretches of [[time]] and [[embracing]] [[relations]] with many and [[successive]] [[temporal]] [[States|kingdoms]] on [[earth]].

178:2.2 By noon of this day all [[the apostles]] and [[disciples]] had learned about the hasty flight of [[Lazarus]] from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany_(Biblical_village) Bethany]. They began to sense the grim [[determination]] of the [[Jewish]] rulers to exterminate [[Jesus]] and his [[teachings]].

178:2.3 [[David Zebedee]], through the [[work]] of his [[secret]] [[agents]] in [[Jerusalem]], was fully advised concerning the [[progress]] of the [[plan]] to [[arrest]] and [[kill]] [[Jesus]]. He knew all about the part of [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] in this plot, but he never disclosed this [[knowledge]] to the other [[apostles]] nor to any of the [[disciples]]. Shortly after lunch he did lead [[Jesus]] aside and, making [[bold]], asked him whether he knew—but he never got further with his [[question]]. [[The Master]], holding up his hand, stopped him, saying: " Yes, [[David Zebedee|David]], I know all about it, and I know that you know, but see to it that you tell no man. Only [[doubt]] not in your own [[heart]] that the will of [[God]] will prevail in the end. "

178:2.4 This [[conversation]] with [[David Zebedee|David]] was interrupted by the arrival of a [[messenger]] from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amman#History Philadelphia] bringing [[word]] that [[Abner]] had heard of the plot to [[kill]] [[Jesus]] and asking if he should depart for [[Jerusalem]]. This runner hastened off for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amman#History Philadelphia] with this [[word]] for [[Abner]]: " Go on with your [[work]]. If I depart from you in the [[flesh]], it is only that I may return in the [[spirit]]. I will not [[forsake]] you. I will be with you to the end. "

178:2.5 About this time [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] came to [[the Master]] and asked: " Master, seeing that the [[time]] of the [[Passover]] draws near, where would you have us [[prepare]] to eat it? " And when [[Jesus]] heard [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]]'s [[question]], he answered: " Go and bring [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and [[John, the Apostle|John]], and I will give you directions concerning the supper we will eat together this night. As for the [[Passover]], that you will have to consider after we have first done this. "

178:2.6 When [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] heard [[the Master]] [[speaking]] with [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] about these matters, he drew closer that he might overhear their [[conversation]]. But [[David Zebedee]], who was standing near, stepped up and [[engaged]] [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] in [[conversation]] while [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], and [[John, the Apostle|John]] went to one side to talk with [[the Master]].

178:2.7 Said [[Jesus]] to the [[three]]: " Go [[immediately]] into [[Jerusalem]], and as you enter the gate, you will meet a man bearing a water pitcher. He will speak to you, and then shall you follow him. When he leads you to a certain house, go in after him and ask of the [[good]] man of that house, `Where is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cenacle guest chamber] wherein [[the Master]] is to eat supper with his [[apostles]]?' And when you have thus [[inquired]], this householder will show you a large [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cenacle upper room] all furnished and ready for us.

178:2.8 When [[the apostles]] reached the city, they met the man with the water pitcher near the gate and followed on after him to the [[home]] of [[John Mark]], where the lad's [[father]] met them and showed them the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cenacle upper room] in readiness for the evening meal.

178:2.9 And all of this came to pass as the result of an [[understanding]] arrived at between [[the Master]] and [[John Mark]] during the afternoon of the preceding day when they were [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_177#177:1._ONE_DAY_ALONE_WITH_GOD alone in the hills]. [[Jesus]] wanted to be sure he would have this one last meal undisturbed with his [[apostles]], and believing if [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] knew beforehand of their place of meeting he might arrange with his [[enemies]] to take him, he made this [[secret]] arrangement with [[John Mark]]. In this way [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] did not learn of their place of [[meeting]] until later on when he arrived there in company with [[Jesus]] and the other [[apostles]].

178:2.11 And so [[David Zebedee|David]] [[received]] all the apostolic cash funds and receipts for all [[money]] on deposit. Not until the evening of the next day did [[the apostles]] learn of this [[transaction]].

178:2.12 It was about half past four o'clock when the [[three]] [[apostles]] returned and informed [[Jesus]] that everything was in readiness for the supper. [[The Master]] [[immediately]] [[prepared]] to [[lead]] his [[twelve apostles]] over the trail to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany_(Biblical_village) Bethany] road and on into [[Jerusalem]]. And this was the last [[journey]] he ever made with [[the Apostles|all twelve]] of them.
