==PAPER 173: MONDAY IN JERUSALEM==

173:0.1 Early on this Monday morning, by prearrangement, [[Jesus]] and [[the apostles]] assembled at the [[home]] of Simon in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany], and after a brief [[conference]] they set out for [[Jerusalem]]. [[The twelve]] were [[strangely]] [[silent]] as they [[journeyed]] on toward [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple]; they had not recovered from the [[experience]] of the preceding day. They were [[expectant]], [[fearful]], and [[profound]]ly affected by a certain [[feeling]] of detachment growing out of [[the Master]]'s sudden [[change]] of [[tactics]], coupled with his instruction that they were to [[engage]] in no [[public]] teaching throughout this [[Passover]] week.

173:0.2 As this [[group]] [[journeyed]] down [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives Mount Olivet], [[Jesus]] [[led]] the way, [[the apostles]] following closely behind in meditative silence. There was just one thought uppermost in the minds of all save Judas Iscariot, and that was: What will the Master do today? The one absorbing thought of Judas was: What shall I do? Shall I go on with Jesus and my associates, or shall I withdraw? And if I am going to quit, how shall I break off?

173:0.3 It was about nine o'clock on this beautiful morning when these men arrived at the temple. They went at once to the large court where Jesus so often taught, and after greeting the believers who were awaiting him, Jesus mounted one of the teaching platforms and began to address the gathering crowd. The apostles withdrew for a short distance and awaited developments.
