177:0.1 When the [[work]] of [[teaching]] the people did not press them, it was the [[custom]] of [[Jesus]] and his [[apostles]] to [[rest]] from their [[labors]] each Wednesday. On this particular Wednesday they ate breakfast somewhat later than usual, and the camp was [[pervaded]] by an ominous [[silence]]; little was said during the first half of this [[morning]] meal. At last [[Jesus]] spoke: " I [[desire]] that you [[rest]] today. Take [[time]] to [[think]] over all that has happened since we came to [[Jerusalem]] and [[meditate]] on what is just ahead, of which I have plainly told you. Make sure that the [[truth]] abides in your lives, and that you daily [[grow]] in [[grace]]. "
177:0.2 After breakfast [[the Master]] informed [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] that he [[intended]] to be [[absent]] for the day and suggested that [[the apostles]] be [[permitted]] to spend the [[time]] in [[accordance]] with their own [[choosing]], except that under no circumstances should they go within the gates of [[Jerusalem]].
177:0.3 When [[Jesus]] made ready to go into the hills [[alone]], [[David Zebedee]] accosted him, saying: " You well know, Master, that the [[Pharisees]] and rulers seek to destroy you, and yet you make ready to go alone into the hills. To do this is [[folly]]; I will therefore send [[three]] men with you well [[prepared]] to see that no harm befalls you. " [[Jesus]] looked over the three well-armed and [[stalwart]] [[Galilean]]s and said to [[David Zebedee|David]]: " You mean well, but you [[err]] in that you fail to [[understand]] that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] needs no one to [[defend]] him. No man will lay hands on me until that hour when I am ready to lay down my life in [[conformity]] to [[the Father|my Father]]'s will. These men may not accompany me. I [[desire]] to go [[alone]], that I may [[commune]] with [[the Father]]. "
177:0.4 Upon [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Audition hearing] these [[words]], [[David Zebedee|David]] and his armed guards withdrew; but as [[Jesus]] started off alone, [[John Mark]] came forward with a small basket containing [[food]] and [[water]] and suggested that, if he [[intended]] to be away all day, he might find himself [[hungry]]. [[The Master]] smiled on John and reached down to take the basket.
