172:4.1 While the [[Alpheus twins]] returned the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey donkey] to its owner, [[Jesus]] and the ten [[apostles]] detached themselves from their [[immediate]] [[associates]] and strolled about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Temple the temple], viewing the [[preparations]] for the [[Passover]]. No attempt was made to molest [[Jesus]] as the [[Sanhedrin]] greatly [[feared]] [[the people]], and that was, after all, one of the reasons [[Jesus]] had for allowing the multitude thus to [[acclaim]] him. [[The apostles]] little [[understood]] that this was the only human [[procedure]] which could have been [[effective]] in preventing [[Jesus]]' [[immediate]] [[arrest]] upon entering the [[city]]. [[The Master]] [[desired]] to give the [[inhabitants]] of [[Jerusalem]], high and low, as well as the tens of thousands of [[Passover]] [[visitors]], this one more and last [[chance]] to hear the [[gospel]] and [[receive]], if they would, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_5:45 Son of Peace].

172:4.2 And now, as the evening drew on and the crowds went in [[quest]] of nourishment, [[Jesus]] and his [[immediate]] followers were left alone. What a [[strange]] day it had been! [[The apostles]] were thoughtful, but speechless. Never, in their years of [[association]] with [[Jesus]], had they seen such a day. For a [[moment]] they sat down by the [[treasury]], watching the people drop in their contributions: the [[rich]] putting much in the receiving box and all giving something in [[Proportion|accordance]] with the extent of their [[possessions]]. At last there came along a [[poor]] [[widow]], scantily attired, and they [[observed]] as she cast two mites (small coppers) into the trumpet. And then said [[Jesus]], calling the [[attention]] of [[the apostles]] to the [[widow]]: " Heed well what you have just seen. This [[poor]] [[widow]] cast in more than all the others, for all these others, from their superfluity, cast in some trifle as a [[gift]], but this [[poor]] [[woman]], even though she is in want, gave all that she had, even her living."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_mark#Chapter_12]

172:4.3 As the evening drew on, they walked about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple#Life_in_and_around_the_temple temple courts] in [[silence]], and after [[Jesus]] had surveyed these familiar scenes once more, recalling his [[emotions]] in connection with previous [[visits]], not excepting the earlier ones, he said, " Let us go up to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany] for our [[rest]].
